Hi Folks
First post and looking for some advice!
I've trawled the board but can't find any similar questions, so apologies if this has been discussed many times before (what hasn't!
)
But I'm hoping someone will be good enough to comment on the attached pics of one of a pair of seacocks (simpson lawrence I think) just removed from my boat.
The colour of the metal (bronze?) looks different inside to outside, and after being warned about dezincification, but never having seen it first hand before, I'm wondering whether this is what has caused the colouration of the internals?
Or is it just because the two parts (valve and body?) rub against each other?![Cool :cool: :cool:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Anyway, the bottom line is, should I be looking at changing them or do they still have some life in them?
Cheers
Alex
