I am about to fit a water maker and air con both need sea water. I would like to have as few holes in the hull as possible. The yacht already got water intake for fridge cooling and a few other things. All units got its own intake with its own sea cock. A sea chest sounds like a very good plan.<br /><br />If the sea chest runs dry you will have a problem. Why not fit two sea water intakes to the sea chest? This improves the volume of sea water you take in, less change for blockage and hopefully this reduce the change for getting dry.<br /><br />Plastic or bronze? Never ending debate. The yard where I purchased our boat from replace all sea cocks with cheap sea cocks from France. Now three year later – I need to replace most of the work they did due to the simple fact they went for low cost and not high quality.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07334120352829453670noreply@blogger.com
