Consider elbows and tees on seacocks. Our boat came with elbows on all the
seacocks and the hoses were routed to lay along the inside of the hull and that
gave good access to lockers.
I read a tip from Don Casey on the engine raw water intakes and changed the
elbow to a tee with a plug so I can more easily winterize the engine or unclog
the thruhull from inside during the sailing season. The tee also provides a
place to connect a hose to run the engine when the boat is on the hard,
something I always do before launching. The tee normally has a bronze plug on
top and gets a hose-to-pipe adapter when using a hose.
