Hi Sailors
I have a worn out Stuart No 2 engine seacock in the cupboard below the galley sink which I wish to replace. The hull fitting (flush), seacock and strainer are all combined into one bronze fitting which make it very compact in height and easy to rod from the inside in case of an external blockage. I think it's half inch.

Does anyone make anything similar with a through hull fitting, reasonably priced, because the combination of separate thru hull fitting, seacock and strainer is rather taller than I want.

Cheers
Pete
 
Since you seem to have drawn a blank.

I bought one of these new, about ten years ago. I am pretty sure it was from Fairways Marine on the East Coast and was probably pretty expensive.

There must be plenty around in shed and attics, the denizens of the Classic and Wooden Boat section may know more.
 
The obvious present-day alternative would be a Blakes seacock. I nearly wrote "modern alternative", but it's hardly that :). But AFAIK still manufactured.

The 3/4" intake one does.

But not an inboard strainer with a removable filter, which is what the ST inlet has. The alternative is a skin fitting/ball valve/stranier, which as the OP says is a lot taller. The Blakes could be used, but would need a remote strainer, and it is 3/4" where the ST is 1/2".

Simple answer is that there is not a direct replacement. The hole in the hull and the bolt holes are all different from anything else. So finding a used one is the only option, or re configuring to use modern bits.
