Sabre 402 seacocks


 

We purchased a Sabre 402 and are still familiarizing ourselves with it. Can someone help explain how to access the seacocks in the stern of the boat. They seem to be located under the propane locker and am not sure how to get to them.?
?
Thanks!

On both sides, you have to crawl into the lazarette. Not something you'd want to do in an emergency.

I may be remembering incorrectly, but I believe that the starboard cockpit drain connects to the seacock for the port drain. ?Still not great, but easier than getting over to the exhaust and autopilot ram. ??

The seacocks that are in the aft lazarette are only for the deck and cockpit scuppers. If you have overboard discharge, that seacock should be accessible via an access port in the shower. You then likely have two under the Q berth. One for the head pick up and one for the fridge water cooling pump. Underneath the head sink, there is a seacock for the sink and shower discharge.?

That should cover all of the seacocks in the back half of the boat. As for your propane locker, it¡¯s not ideal, I agree. I took mine out this offseason and when I reinstalled it, I did it with gasket tape as opposed to a bedding compound. This allows me to get in there a bit easier if I have to.?

Good luck with whatever you¡¯re working on.?

Hi
?
if you remove the cover over the rudder post and ?quadrant plus the autopilot ram you can access them through the aft port cockpit locker. I¡¯m 6¡¯ and can get down in there once the items are removed.?

I had to change to drain hoses to satisfy a surveyor.

Good luck

Thanks everyone, super helpful and makes sense. Once I get over to the boat this weekend I will look with your insight in mind.?
