Hi Bob, yeah that's the case here, these drains are basically bottom of
the boat , most definitely below the waterline. Boat is on the hard, on
the cradle, so no concerns about doing this while afloat.

I'd spring for what's called a seacock, but it's just a ball valve with
a base. Among other things, they sit lower.

Definitely use teflon tape on the threads so you can take it apart for
rebedding a decade or two from now.

I'd spring for better hose than the clear reinforced. Don't even
consider the clear stuff.
