J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum The Boat, Sails and Equipment Replace seacocks?

Hi,
It looks like my boat has the original seacocks which I believe are seized.

Correct me if I'm wrong but these are all one piece, valve and threwhull is this correct? (See URL for pic)

Hi Sean,

Assuming that the bronze hasn't turned pink deep into the metal, these Perko seacocks are rebuildable. The parts needed are:
080500599B Perko Repair kit - 3/4
080500599C Perko Ball Valve Stem (driver)
which are available by special order from Jamestown Distributors, Yacht Supply Depot and others.
I had good luck rebuilding mine, and found that the replacement parts were better than the original.

you may think they're seized... a bit of lubricant and a pipe for leverage might disagree...
