So I'm finally going to change out the failed ball valve on my thru-hull today. This valve is for the AC cooler lines. The valve size is 1".
I bought one of these doodads to stop the flow of water when I remove the valve, then I thread the new valve over the red doodad then pull it out and close the valve. Allegedly.
Questions:
Am I a fool for trying this while the boat is in the water? Will I be overwhelmed by the amount of water shooting up when I remove the valve?
Should I use some of this thread dope on the thru hull threads?
Should I have the yard on standby for an emergency haulout?
Here's the old valve
Driving to the boat now so y'all have an hour to stop me before I sink the boat. ?
