Another option would be to use a Groco flanged adapter between the thru-hull and ball valve.

Is there a backing block or are those mounted directly to the hull? If no backing blocks, add them.

I think directly to the hull.

This looks like an interesting product.

So if your valve wears out you just screw another one on.

I'm surprised the manufacturer didn't install the better seacocks on this boat for all through hulls. Why would they use them on the main engine inlet but not the gen or AC?
