I think C&C ran the plumbing differently each time!
Mine is an '83 and has the presumably original Wilcox Crittenden tapered cone seacocks throughout - I've got 8 of the things in total. Up front I've got one each for the head intake, head outflow, and sink drain. These are all under the v-berth.
My shower drain goes to a pump in the cabinet under the sink, then aft and up, exiting just under the toe rail midship.
Both my bilge pumps run all the way to the stern, they are likely underwater a good % of the time but the hose run has a big upward bump section before they come back down and out, so little risk of reverse flow. No seacocks on these - they are inaccessible anyway.

What year is your boat? It would strike me as odd if they made a change in the 35-3 line such as this. My 35-3 (1987) has the marelon valves in the bow. One for seawater intake for the head, one big one for overboard discharge of the head, and another added later for the A/C. My bilge pump and shower drain pump both discharge up near the toe rail on the port side. The hoses run from the pumps (both in the enclosure at the forward end of the U-shaped setee), forward into the cabinet under the sink in the head, then up the hull to the discharge. The valves are accessible in the locker in the head. -Keith Morgenstern -----Original Message----- From: Joel Aronson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, September 10, 2012 16:51 To: [email protected] Subject: Stus-List Thru Hulls/seacocks 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?
