[Sea Dog]

Hi all

I have a 38' Bertram with manually operated seacocks, which are becoming a nuisance, because I have to clime into the engine room every time I want to start the engines. So my question is there any good quality automatic seacocks that will open and close with a flick of a switch.

Thanks

Google "motor operated valves" and you will find a willing supplier.

What might be more important though is the nuisance of visiting the engine room also offers you the possibly final opportunity to check the lube oil, coolant, and general condition of the things that go bang clang whoosh, screech, splash, or burst into flame at the worst possible moment.
