Replacing Boat Seacock in the Water? Part 2

In this episode of working on my 1965 Cheoy Lee sailboat, I continue where we left off last week. The main seacock in the head was seized. After trying everything I could think of last episode to move the handle, IT BROKE! In this episode I attempt to take off the seacock valve and to replace it while the boat is still sitting in the water. Let's hope the boat doesn't sink. :) Enjoy! #Sailing

One more suggestion, when you are using double clamps, put them on 180 deg offsetting each other.

What a job , I had a 35’ sailboat many years ago , when I purchased it I changed all the sea cock before I put it in the water , but I would pull the speed sender a few times a year to clean the wheel , I would just plug with wood and clean it , the next year I found a spray to keep the wheel clean all season.

Great work Josh. As always, such a well done documentary. We just had, not only similar head issues, replacing parts and unclogging an elbow 🤮but also did a major job; changing the transmission which required lifting the engine and pulling out the V drive with the old transmission. And all after only living aboard for three months. Things keep going wrong. Our water pressure, the alternator fell off, melted a switch trying to rewire it, replaced our anchor, and probably 10 other things I can’t even remember right now. We also, are being tested. Daily. Don’t forget to enjoy some boat life time. Take a day off and do something fun. Keep the videos coming. We’re learning through you.

I had to do this too. Except I just heeled the boat over with a halyard tied to a nearby dock in the marina late one evening. The seacock got out of the water, and I just cut off the mushroom head from the outside. :)

We did the same thing and it all came down on us. Could have killed 2/3 people. Ok we did it on a 250 t Tallship. The big bocks came down we had up the mast and some rigging. Letter I was telling a Master Sea pilot and he said you never ever do it that way.

@@markgarry7866 While it might break a dock, it won't break the rigging. Think about it - when your boat is sailing and heeled over the same amount, what is holding the mast up??

Check your clamp and screw with a magnet. Sometimes the band is s/s but the screw is not. Also use smaller clamps so that there is not allot of tail hanging out to snag you when you reach into the cabinet. They also make small rubbers to fit over the end of the bands to protect you.

@ridemydirt2005 3 года назад
That was some really great information. I was thinking for sure you would have to haul out once the ball valve wouldn't back off. Only thing I would be concerned with is the age of the thru hull fitting. The do become brittle over time. Looks like you handled this situation well. Good work.

@SkypowerwithKarl

Well you did well only to nick a few threads. You did everything right. The only thing that I would suggest is to purchase the 90 degree Dremel attachment. They work quite well. It’ll give you a totally different angle of attack on some jobs. Another tool that’s a must is an oscillating saw. Both are good when saber and jigsaws are too big or clumsy.

Congratulations on a job well done! A "crappy job" frustrating to the max to say the least. Comment ..... I couldn't tell from the video how much the other hoses were in the way as your tried to remove the valve. But, if some were, it would be a good opportunity to replace them on this older boat. Using the hose type that you suggested.

I know this advice is a little late, but, at work, we use a hammer to tap on the end of the pipe wrench to help loosen a fitting/valve....I'm not even sure if that was an option for you with the limited amount of space you had to work with....
@johnmazza9432

Hey, just a thought but perhaps when buying a old boat, it would make sense to pull it out of the water and refinish the hull and place all the through holes and valves with the boat OUT OF THE WATER ?

For easier replacement next time, you can fit flexi hose to through fitting then mount valve higher on side wall with short pipe to your t-piece.

All my outgoing valves are slightly above the waterline wich is nice only problem is my ingoing valve has som sort of scoop so I cant easily plug it and that valve is old and crusty I want to remove it whit like a big tube 120 mm from te bottom of the ship that goes above the water line so even if the valve is broken I can replace it but it can easily siphon water out Plus I can make a stainles filter basket that runs all the way up that you can clean by taking it out from the inside probably going to be doing that as soon as I get my 60 ton schip out I probebly weld the tube on wile stil on land and than dril the hole from the outside

It can serve many purpose depending on how it is done. For lightning protection. To prevent galvanic corrosion. To protect against stray current. These are the 3 typical reasons it is done. Josh's is probably for the last 2 reasons.

This is outstanding. Turns out what you are accomplishing is much harder than in your cast cutoff analogy; cast cutters don't rotate, they *vibrate* with a very small periodicity- this allows the doctor to be sloppy with impunity while looking supremely skilled, since the tiny vibrations easily cut the solid cast but not the skin (well... almost never - see ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8SNA951peEQ.html ) And... skin heals, but failed through-hulls rarely do (unless you have very altruistic, clever and industrious barnacles in your home waters - I don't seem to). Thanks for all these excellent problem solving evolutions. Now, if I could just get the rest of my Groco K to work nicely without showing me a 1 L sample of what is already in the holding tank after every flush.
