Clogged Cockpit Drains
I would also check on what type of valve is being used for a 'seacock'. Is
it a true seacock or just some kinda valve??
If it causes any obstruction to the flow (globe valve) or angle valve, you
will always have problems with clogging.
It should be a plug type or ball type valve so there is not obstruction or
tendency to collect dirt in the valve seat area.
In many of my used boat purchases, I have found totally inappropriate valves
in such drain lines.
