Seacocks________________________________________
Seacocks are fitted to all inlets and outlets which penetrate the hull below the
waterline. The hull area around the penetration point is reinforced with an internal
plywood backing plate which is resin coated and bedded on compound. With the
exception of the engine cooling system inlet, all current Moody yachts are fitted
with a ball valve combined with a skin fitting.
