Steve,
That was my feeling on the discharge. No, the seacock looks
more like a giant syringe. You pull up on the T handle to open,
push down to close. I've looked on Google images and can't even
find one similar.

I would
think that a bilge pump discharge should always be above the
water line. Are you talking about tapered seacocks? Like
this: http://www.pbase.com/mainecruising/tapered_cone_seacocks
That site has other howto articles about seacocks. I
imagine everything anyone would need to know about them.

Thanks to you guys, my summer
projects are done! Its nice to see through my
hatches and lean against my life-lines without
worrying about their condition.
In the bow of my boat I have 2 seacocks that
are a plunger type with a T handle on a rod.
When closed they are flush with the bottom.
they passed the survey, but I'm wondering how
to service them and whether they should be
replaced with a traditional seacock. Also, the
discharge for my emergency bilge pump is through
one of the seacocks (along with the intake for
the head). Shouldn't that be above the water
line?
