Hi Adam, I think new valves and new hoses, clamps, etc, are in order. There are a few choices. I like Forespar Marelon thruhulls. No metal to corrode. http://www.pbsboatstore.com/forespar-marelon-flanged-seacocks.htm?feed=Froogle=CIjrmMmWucwCFdBZhgodnJMGCw Groco makes several bronze

I have a CC30 MK1 with a updated 2GM20F . I run the engine compartment blower to suck out the heat and vent the area while running. But not for the extraction of CO2. I haven't worried about that. With an open forward hatch and and the cockpit hatch open pushing no less than 3 knots of winds

To add to the checklist, some people have found it helpful to hang the ignition key off the Raw Water Intake Sea Cock handle. Saves that error. Ken H. On 9 July 2014 11:00, Curtis via CnC-List cnc-list@cnc-list.com wrote: I have a CC30 MK1 with a updated 2GM20F . I run the engine compartment

Curtis, Cycling the seacocks is a great practice. I hope you misspoke when you said you have seacocks on your cockpit drains closed. Maybe I misunderstand but if the drains are closed where does the water go when it rains? Similarly, ice dams in cockpit drains has sunk boats at the dock

Hi Chuck, I Typically close all seacocks before leaving the boat for the week. For me, it's a simple all or nothing deal and I have a placard (3 X 5 sheet of paper :-) ) I put on the sink cover (1st thing you see coming in the cabin) that says All seacocks shut. Since I do it almost every

My CC 35 MKII has 7 Groco bronze seacocks, each one placed in a very hard to reach space.since it is well known to be good seamanship to close all seacocks when leaving the boat I wonder why the designers did not make them a little more easily accessible and with longer handles too.I might be more
