What would you tell this guy?


Point out the problem with the gate valve as a seacock and suggest to
him to seek professional advice as to its replacement. That should start
him on a chain of eventful discoveries because he'll have to replace the
through hull and that'll mean a haul out and that'll mean he'll be
exposed to more seasoned seamen who will further the process along.
