Hello everyone
A newbie at sailing, and boats !!!
Need some advice.
I saw a thread this evening, (15 years old, which I did not know) . . . so I posted in that, and got some advice, so . . . . I thought I would start a new thread.
i have just taken ownership of an old steel yacht. It needs work!!!!! . . . (smile)
I have a Simpson and Lawrence sea cock for the toilet waste. And they wont move !!! . .. . So, I have removed them, and stripped it.
It has a cone shaped thing in it, with what looks like a nylon bush on top of it.
Now I have removed it, when I put it back, it just spins around, which I am sure, is not the way it is supposed to work !! Surely it should just open, let water in, then close???
Can I service these things, there is two of them, a large one, and a smaller one. I assume the small one is to let the water in, and the big one to let the waste out ???
Or . . . .
Do I HAVE to buy new ones, which wont be cheap !!!
I have looked for new ones, and I dont see any sqare ones, only round ones, which will mess up my hole alignment !!!
Thanks
