Expert advice needed.
I was removing a very stubborn fitting from a seacock. A 14" pipe wrench was employed. I got the old fitting out and the new one in. However, now the seacock can be twisted clockwise and back with a wrench. The range of motion is about 5 degrees.
No water leaks in. Should I assume that the hull-through is still in good shape and just twist the seacock to the right and make sure it is tight, or do I need to pull the boat and replace the hull-through? As I understand it, the seacock screws into the hull-through. Or am I wrong about this?
Help!
