"On one of my engine raw water
"On one of my engine raw water intakes has a piece of silicone trapped inside the scupper underneath the boat. I tried getting it with a pick but it's too big. It's probably blocking 20% of the intake so I want to take care of it.
I have the exact same issue with the A/C pick up as well. I unbolted the seacock from the inside but it wouldn't budge. I figured I would remove the scuppper/strainer from underneath the boat but couldn't get it off either. It's basically triangular shaped. I cleaned up the whole thing and removed a screw on each side.
I can now get the front to move down a little but the back (the point of the triangle) won't budge. There's no other fastener so I'm not sure what's holding it in place.
So, before I get too far trying to remove things that are probably held with 3M 5200, is there a way to disassemble the seacocks from the inside w/o completel removal so I can clean them out?
This must happen all the time right?
thanks,
Bob"
