Have you checked for growth in the valve body/travel path of the valve
ball? Imagine if an oyster or big mussel grew up in there. You could use
a dowel from the outside to check it clear or ram it out if needed.

sounds like you have grocco bronze seacocks, they are really good and
you can make them work, try harder I think they might have a loosening

You can also screw a grease gun fitting into the threaded holes on either side,
and pump some grease in.

Hi Dan
I'd take the nuts and washer off, and rig up some sort of press.

With the boat out of the water, you have more options. If you poured a
liquid penetrating oil down the scupper, it may coat the plug but chances
are most of it will pass through onto the ground. If you could figure a
way to plug the seacock from underneath so the oil would be stopped at the

WD-40 is, as the name suggests “water displacement” agent. It is not a good
lubricant, nor a good penetrating oil.

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
forgot to mention that I followed this write up once I got it loose.

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.

Hi,
I'd replace the seacocks. Even if you'd never use them in regular conditions,
you're much better off if, say, a hose breaks and you need to contain the leak.
