I second (or maybe third, fourth, fifth….) this!

Mike who?

Ya but can they work the foot flusher

I’m not going to step into the poop discussion :lol: but regarding training an adult dog to use a pad I was successful using a small piece of sod in that upside down rubber mate bin lid. Waited the initial hesitation out and eventually the dog figured out grass is grass. During winter here in NY...

If they activate on current input, what happens in an electric failure or interruption, does the valve then close?

Good thoughts. I like the idea of adding just an actuator.

Glad to hear some anecdotal input…. I’ve checked again, and even using extension handles on my current valves it would be very difficult to access, especially quickly. I’m inclined to try the evalves.

I’ve thought of that. It’d still be a contortion to get to but ya, it’s a plan B. They really are in an awkward location and buried. I see why PO never exercised them and they’re now frozen.

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of Groco E-Valves? It’s an electronic thru hull valve. My thru hulls are in need of replacement, and are very difficult to access on a routine basis. Found them at various vendors. Thanks, John in Port Jeff https://www.defender.com/pdf/e_valve.pdf

Count me in Second the suggestion for Sam’s Marine. But I get more worthwhile info and comraderie here :dance:

Same on Long Island I too received a 10% raise in rates at my local town marina. And honestly it’s due for a raise. But with no notice, no explanation , and no improvements forecast, it is just plain wrong headed customer service. Take it or leave it mentality. Sad.

I have a hydraulic swim platform...meant for easily loading and unloading the dink. Works great for dogs and people too.
