Hi
Alexandre,I connect the hose
directly to the shore water.I run the genset,
engine, anchor wash, air conditioning and then the
toilets.I have a valve on the
hose near the end so I can shut off the water between
operations.I can’t say how long
I leave the water run, I just run as I feel is
appropriate.You will find that the
water pressure from the dock causes the water to go past the
toilet pumps and fill the bowls. In the last few years I
have not seen a problem with this.Fair

Sea Chest Specifications    Good afternoon Gary,

I didn’t know seacock could
have a slight leakage, so yes I totally understand your
concern.

Anyway, I just
added 3 pictures of the lid on:
http://nikimat.com/vetus_1320_raw_water_filter_strainer.html

I will also email them to you
directly.

Andrew, I love
the idea of having a hose attachment for fresh water.
On my ski boat (Correct Craft Ski Nautique), I
did that (to rinse the engine with fresh water).
How do you control the water flow? Do you have
like a bucket above the hose that you fill up, how long do
you let it run, etc.
Or do you only rinse
the other systems (anchor wash, air conditioning, toilets,
etc.)

Sincerely,
Alexandre

Thanks Alexandre, Mark and Andrew for your
replies.
 Each was very helpful.  As to
why I am concerned? This is
such a critical
system and a leak could have such dire
consequences, even with the sea-cock closed
slight leakage
past the valve will
eventually overflow the top of the
sea-chest
(as most have noted).  I feel very uncomfortable
not having the lid in place.
I
have located a diver and I am
trying to find
a picture of the lid to email to him so he
knows what he's looking for/feeling for in
the murky
water, yet having scanned every
photo on this site and all,
2,400 pictures I
have taken of my boat and its systems, I
can't find a single picture of the
sea-chest lid or even
of the
seachest/thru-hull.  Boy, it just doesn't get
any photo respect. 
Could
someone take a pic of the
sea-chest lid and
one of the sea-chest so that the diver
will
know what he is looking for and then my caretaker will
know where to put it.  Please post here or
just email the
photos to me at garysilver at
mac dot com.
Thanks again for the replies,
the
information, and photos. 
Sincerely, Gary Silver
