...and after all that work to thru-bolt her in there! Mark, you may not realize, but I installed that valve! And now it sits, rotting, corroding, and broken, on a bench top...OK, I'm over it! It's a Bosworth valve, you can still get them at Worst Marine, but Circle Hooked had good luck at Marine Surplus down here...I think. What part broke?
Mark,Funny you should say that, I was going to tell you the handle is removable...in fact I used to have to disassemble that valve to t/bolt it to the inside of the tackle storage center.The barbs are 3/4" thread with 3/4" barbs for the hoses. Simply screwed in with a bit of pipe dope on the threads. Since the valve is toast, put it in a vise, and you should be able to remove them and use them on the new one...Scott, your right, a lot of livewell/washdown issues showing up...also fuel senders and electrical issues. I think it's just the spring time up north, people using their boats again, karma, and nobody's got the bucks to replace their 10-12 year old boat with a new one...
I called Bosworth direct and they got me the one I need at $53.45.Here's there site if anyone is in need of one.www.thebosworthco.com
