If I remember correctly on my P54 it’s under the floor in the lazerette.

On my Mk2 the seawater pump is in the rear of the engine room under the rear wooden cover at the bottom of the steps. The seacock is under the mist panel at the front of the lazaretto

Surely you must be able to see or feel where the hose goes and then go looking in the adjacent bilge?

Ita a bit worrying you've got a skin fitting you dont know the location of. I'd have thought all skippers need to know the location of all seacocks?

Agreed but not always as easy as you say. On a survey I had last year the surveyor could not locate two seacocks . Only by a process of elimination when the boat was lifted could we find the area to look. The seacocks had been installed in the boat and then a panel glassed in and the generator and air con installed on top. Completely inaccessible and done from new.

Thanks for all your reply, we have the princess original manual and it shows below the galley floor but you can't get at it as its behind water tanks, we have now found it , its in the mid cabin down in the corner
side of the bed there's a small hatch for anyone who's looking for it also.

Given you need to get to seacocks quickly it if all goes wrong the design does not seem to clever.

mine are all in the engine room other than the heads which are under the master cabin floor via a large hatch.

I am honestly surprised they have made them so hard to find.
