Seawater Systems
Seacocks
A seacock is a valve, controlled by a 90º lever, used to manage
the intake of seawater through the hull and below the water
line. Seacocks are typically used on your boat in the following
seawater intake systems:
• Marine head (toilet)
• Baitwell
Before using any of these systems, make sure that the system’s
seacock is Open and remains Open until the system is shut Off.
SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
• Before using a seawater intake system, make sure that the system’s seacock is in the Open
position before the system is started and keep the seacock Open until the system is shut Off.
• Close the seacocks whenever the systems will not be used for long periods of time.
