Yes. You could also steal it by sailing away.

How did you know I can do that??? G



I keep all mine closed too. After closing the engine seacock, I leave
the engine house cover off whch reminds me to open the seacock when I
return.

Nice. Whatever works is good. Two boats sunk at dock in five years in
a 200-slip club here, one with a failed clamp at the head inlet, the
other with a failed hose at the raw water inlet. Both skippers got the
phone call: "dude, I think your boat's sinking..." Both could have
been prevented with closing the cocks when off the boat.
