I saw your message regarding changing ball valves in water. I am a couple hundred miles from the nearest lift. I need to change out a broken shaft head discharge valve 1 1/4 ". Its frozen in closed position. Boat is a 2007 Beneteau 523. I Converted to all bronze 3 years ago. Questions; should I try this in a remote area? If so any suggestion on how to free up the ball valve without damaging the thru hull or its seating? Any suggestions on how to keep the holding tank from draining out in to the bilge while I am doing this. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
