I have a new to me Tartan 30 and am concerned about the integrity of the various ball valves and seacocks that have been installed. The raw water intake seacock is a Groco, and looks like it was installed recently. It is easy to access and service as well. The head intake is virtually inaccessible to anyone without 4’ arms, and the 1-1/2” outflow seacock is blocked from closing by the FW system interchanger which is mounted under the sink.
I need to clean this mess up, and would prefer to only pay for one seacock if possible. I was wondering what the issue would be with running a tee off of the engine raw water intake to supply the head. If I do this, I can eliminate the inaccessible seacock and reduce the number of holes in my boat by 1.
Any words of warning?
Thanks - Jim
