To Joe¡¯s point, if the handle breaks, the tab on the cone valve (which is much more substantial) can be grabbed with a large adjustable wrench. Don¡¯t ask¡.

I agree Jim.
In fact I believe I¡¯ve owned at least 2 small keelboats where there was no valve at the cockpit drain thru hull. In such a situation the hoses are double clamped and can¡¯t come off

Re: Aft seacocks Sabre 36

On my S36 it is not easy to get into the aft lazarettes but it is possible. I can reach all the stuff I store in there from the cockpit, so I empty it before climbing in. Port side has more clearance

Re: Aft seacocks Sabre 36

Just for reference this is the location on the S36 vs 362, port and starboard firmly underwater.
I¡¯m not sure what to say on the issue of access. ?They are angled and so getting a length of pipe

One the 362 one of the scupper drains is located above the designed waterline and the other just below. In practice with the boat loaded, both are below the waterline and just barely

If they are anything like the S34-2, while I can dive in and access them, and I've been in there recently to service them, it's not easy and the boat might sink by the time I cleared everything out of

I haven't mapped them as you have, but the aft seacocks on my 362 seem to only be for draining the deck drains and the cockpit drains. What kind of situation are you concerned about that would require
