Check Forespar's site for advice on lubricating Marelon seacocks. You probably know not to do any maintenance work before getting approval from seller.
Last thought. My boat has Marelon seacocks and I leave them closed whenever I'm not on the boat. When I am aboard, I open only the ones in use; the sink drain, air conditioner intake, and engine intake and only if I use those. I close them before leaving the boat. It's good practice that not only protects the boat from a hose failure but also reminds me how to access all the valves. Over time, it becomes a habit that is easy to repeat. > On April 22, 2019 at 10:59 AM Shawn Wright via CnC-List > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello all, > > The 35-2 we are about to purchase has standing rigging of unknown age, > although it appears to be solid.
