Why not just leave them turned off?

I dealt with a 1.5" Blakes by turning it off but also adding a short length of hose with a plastic bung for added security. I eventually glassed it over, but to do this properly involves a fair bit of work. When I sold the boat the surveyor looked closely at the repair and I was glad that I'd taken some trouble over it.

If they are Blake's clean them up, put them on eBay and it'll cover the cost of the glass fibre and someone to do it.

If it's a 3/4" blakes I may be interested at the right price, I'm very tight by the way.
