Re: through hull forard head

Hello Bill,

Yes that is the culprit. But the shaft seems to move. But nothing drains. I haven't heard of the shaft separating from the ball, but stranger things have happened. My next thing to try is to see if I can run a stick into the drain hole from outside. having to change out that valve will be a nasty job.

Thanks Bill see you one day in the sunny Caribe.

You should be able to remove the handle, then turn with an appropriate size wrench. The stud that the not is screwed onto is flat on 2 sides. Below is a photo of the valve in the front head on a 54.

Has anyone had a 90 degree shut off valve fail to turn. The handle turns but nothing flows. I hope I have a clog/blockage near the shutoff. But it may be the pin from the handle to the ball have separated. for now I will just do pump outs, but was wondering if this has happened to anyone else. I don't know how anything could plug this but you never know what is in there.
