Chuck, I have considered Marelon, what I like about the Groco IBV & IBVF combination is you never need to touch the through hull again to change the valve, for someone like me who shuns work that's very appealing :-)

Much progress has been made since 1980 in materials. Really like our Forespar Marelon flush seacocks. You will need to be very handy to get the 45 degree chamfer required in the outside layers of fiberglass, but can be done with different size hole saws a dremel. They are very reliable and don't require electrical bonding or risk electrolysis like metal thruhulls. The Forespar poduct is thrubolted with three SS bolts each. The bolt heads get faired over. Very slick.

The year built is 1981/82. We have not hauled the boat since we bought it in 2010 and I can't remember from the survey quick lift what type they were. Also does anyone know what make the 3/4" seacocks are, I can't find any clues on the valve bodies, I know that the 1-1/2" are Groco SV, at least one of which I am replacing. The 3/4" are all in need of servicing so it would be nice to know who the manufacturer was.
