I am amazed they lasted this long. We had to do this long ago to pass an
insurance survey - maybe around 1978 or so.
C&C was using their "cheap stuff from the hardware store for a boat on a
freshwater lake" thinking when they bought those valves. Same guy that used
steel plates for backing up the keel bolts and an iron collar on the rudder
post (what could possibly go wrong?)

If they are gate valves (like a faucet), get rid of them. The likely reason
they broke when you worked on them is they are old and corroded. Replace
them with proper marine parts for your safety.

I need some guidance.I was in the process of trying to dismantle the
original c and c valves on the cockpit drains as they were seized and have
been worried about potential flooding.Ion the process I have the valve
half out. Meaning the rubber gasket where you use the screw handle on the
backside to push out the valve and gasket. The t handle broke off. Am I
now going to have to remove and replace the entire valve? I think the
original was bonded with 5200 to the hull. and am working on the starboard
side through the bottom of the quarter berth.
Any guidance would be much appreciated.
