Open Hull Surgery

[[70521]]

Part one of the "open hull surgery" completed, removing the heads outflow pipe was not as bad as I thought it was going to be!

Two out of the three sea cocks I am replacing are off, just need to get the outflow seacock off - that might be a bit of a challenge as the thru-skin fitting is turning and the seacock is not! I hear the sound of distant angle grinders.

There should be two lumps inside the skin fitting so a piece of steel can be pushed in from below and stop the fitting turning whilst the valve and locking ring are removed.
