Why It Matters
A seized seacock that won\'t close in an emergency can sink your boat. Older bronze seacocks need annual greasing. Tapered plug seacocks are especially susceptible to seizing when rarely operated. If you\'ve never tested yours, you don\'t know if they\'ll work when you need them—and you can\'t find out in an emergency.
