Terri,
Thank you for the MA tour.
Open the ball valve, long rod, and ram it in.
If it is not too dificult you can also take the hose off from the inside and see how bad after cleaning. Perhaps not a bad time to replace the seacock. The least you can do is to grease the seacock whislt your are at it. Drop a dollop of grease from outside (and inside if you take the hose off), move the ball valve over and over until it feel not biting.
Good Luck,
h

Comment by Terri on November 1, 2009 at 1:17pm - Oh...oh... I think I have barnicles and other critters clogging my galley (never used, kept seacock closed) thru hull. Tried to winterize...poured about 6oz pink stuff down....only a bit when down, rest pooled in sink. Think they were painted in spring. Will check at haul out in a week or so and do the screwdriver scrap I guess...any suggestions??? Thank you

Lola,
Watch out for those picture frames.
Anything else that is fragile will brake in a boat.
Have fun. We like to hear that you are having fun sailing, not only maintaining the boat.

If you visited Sicily then you also must go to Sardinia, where you will find by far the most beautiful sea dn beaches of the entire Mediterranean.
