Has anyone replaced the gate valve seacocks on a Typhoon? I am looking at an older model with the original corroded seacocks and it looks like it might be a job to remove them.Also, I am not sure if there might be a problem installing the newer ball-type, particularly after reading about some of the problems with replacing the scupper drain hoses. Any comments would be appreciated.

Re: Typhoon seacocks
we replaced the entire cockpit drain system on our cd- 19 typhoon weekender by using a high-speed air disksander with a disk cutter and removed the entire thru-hull fittings and seacocks and tubing. this was not easy because of cramped space. bought all new fittings at west marine.. randy (p.s. did not replace cockpit drain fittings.)Has anyone replaced the gate valve seacocks on a Typhoon?
