[C320-list] Seacock problem-need advice

[Scott Thompson]

I had no trouble using one on a Forespar Marelon seacock last year. It 
does have to be a straight through opening, however. The Seabung comes 
in a package of two, which are two different sizes. I used the smaller 
one, and the one in the video may be the larger one. I purchased it at 
Fisheries Supply, where I also purchased a replacement OEM Marelon 
seacock that was an exact replacement for the one in my 1999 boat that 
had started leaking. The Seabung isn't cheap but it's a lot less than a 
haulout!
