Marelon says that you should. They even have a special grease. But they also say that if you work the valve regularly it does not need greasing that often.
My problem is 'how' to do it. Reaching into the through-hull, even with a very long q-tip is not that easy, and greasing the ball even more problematic.

Attempting to replace them is just asking for trouble. Leave well enough alone. Now greasing the Marlon through hulls? That's a completely different story. The manufacturer recommends grease every 6 months. I do mine every time the boat is out of the water...once a year. Vaseline is fine. You'll need and inside guy and an outside guy. Cycle, grease, cycle, grease.... Unless you plan to step and unstep the mast regularly, I would take the time now to inspect the mast step and torque the keel bolts. This is also a good time to inspect the mast collar for leaks and tighten/reseal the fasteners if necessary. My mast ground wire was undersized and in deplorable condition.

I would empty the tank and manually clean (or possibly replace) depending on the condition.? The original tank on my 1995 model developed a leak on a trip to CRW that was likely a result of it sitting in some bilge water on one edge of it that eventually gave way and leaked the fuel into the bilge--definitely not a fun event. Since she is on the hard, now is the time to remove it (remove a few boards and it likely lifts out of the aft berth). With it out, you can take it to a local fabricator (one who builds custom grills, etc. ) and have them make a duplicate. That is the surest way to guarantee that all the new fittings end up where the old ones were plus they can add inspection ports, etc. I had mine made that way in aluminum for < 5 boat bucks and installed for another boat buck. Good luck with the upcoming 'splash'! Charlie NelsonWater Phantom1995 C&C 36 XL/kcb -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Yes, they are practically identical to that model. My concern with their replacement is that they fit the existing 'hole' in the head and galley. Per some research on the web, this type of faucet appears to have a single hole for the water lines which I want to maintain. Just getting the old ones out will be a large PITA given their locations and the relative lack of access to their connections under the sinks--so I don't want the additional hassle of drilling extra holes. Quite frankly I am not sure I can remove either current faucet without removing their respective sinks. Especially the one in the head, where the sink sits just above the holding tank--yikes! Even the galley faucet will be difficult since not only is it behind the sink, the space under the sink is so narrow I don't think I can squeeze myself in to it to even reach the fittings, even with a basin wrench. If I have to remove the sinks, I am not even sure how to begin that job--and may just give up on it! Hence my dilemma!
