Marelon Love
Posted: Wed Jun 12, 2013 8:37 am
Hello everyone!!
It is the freaking New Guy again. In other forums, Marelon seacocks are generally abhored. On this forum, the five references, generally incidental, are benign at worst, and mostly lovey-dovey.
On this new boat of mine (okay, technically not mine yet... can you visualize a pit bull clamped to your buttocks?), all of the seacocks are this mysterious plastic stuff called Marelon. The handles do turn, both ways. The boat is dry.
So, should I leave them alone? They are there for a reason, and they work. Less lard for the performance sail boat thingy to haul around (I'm losing weight too!!). There were/are no plugs/stoppers/bungs anywhere to be found on board. PDQs are (nearly) indestructible, so don't worry about those new-fangled Marelon seacocks!! Dang-it!!
What say you knowledgeable forum members?
Thanks,
Joe Mc
