1.5.2. Hull openings, seacocks
Openings in the hull are points that pose a risk of water penetrating to the inside. They require
your special attention.
They have been selected and installed according to established technical rules. It is necessary to
check their condition on a regular basis.
All underwater hull openings can be shut with seacocks. If you leave the boat unattended, they
should always be shut.
For safety reasons, the hose connections are always double. Do not change this!
