Had 5 seacocks; now have 2. One for water in and one for waste out. Waste will stay closed unless used. Water in will stay open but exercised every time I check the oil (daily when cruising). Both seacocks and all associated plumbing are new except the strainer. As others have said, bilge pumps capacity far in excess of seacock flow and good insurance.
