When one of my seacocks was stuck closed I poured some penetrating oil down the 
scupper and let it sit overnight. The next day it worked fine ☺

How did you administer the penetrating oil?  Did you just spray it on the 
outside or did you put any down the scupper or remove the hose and put it in 
the top?

Ok, I will give it another go with these tips. The good news is I haven't 
damaged anything so far and the penetrating oil is still probabbly getting in 
there and doing it's thing...

The space around these seacocks is very limited so removing them would be a 
real bi*ch compared to servicing them so I'm really hoping to free them. They 
do look like really expensive and high quality seacocks and are well adhered to 
the hull.

Thanks guys, will update with progress!

Hi Dan,

I believe I have the same ones. I did the same as you with no progress. I then 
got a hollow metal tube at the Home Depot to use as leverage over the handles, 
and seemingly without much effort (leverage working at its best$ I was able to 
work them open and closed.

I'm on the hard. I have these two giant bronze seacocks for my cockpit drain 
hoses.

I have no clue how old they are but they are totally seized in the open 
position. I've tried WD-40, a heat gun and a rubber mallet but can't get them 
to budge.

My question is should I rip these out and put in some sort of replacement or 
should I just leave them. When will I ever want to close seacocks to the 
cockpit drains?
Clearly the previous owner was not in the habit of closing these.

What should I do?
