If they are gate valves (like a faucet), get rid of them. The likely reason they broke when you worked on them is they are old and corroded. Replace them with proper marine parts for your safety.

I was in the process of trying to dismantle the original c and c valves on the cockpit drains as they were seized and have been worried about potential flooding. Ion the process I have the valve half out. Meaning the rubber gasket where you use the screw handle on the backside to push out the valve and gasket. The t handle broke off. Am I now going to have to remove and replace the entire valve? I think the original was bonded with 5200 to the hull. and am working on the starboard side through the bottom of the quarter berth. Any guidance would be much appreciated. Adam Sent from my iPhone _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
