Thanks good tips. I'll replace the intake hose and add a second battery
The other components are in good working order and I keep an eye on them. I don't have access to shore power. I do own the dock and could put a solar powered batter bank on it. Question: If a pump did need to run I continuously doesn't anyone have an idea however long it would take to drain a deep cycle?

Probably if not opened when using. There are other places that can sink a unattended boat . Rudder port ,shaft log and rain . An extra battery or shore power charger and a second bilge pump would be good insurance.

An easier solution (on the concern about the intake hose starting to leak) would be to replace it with new hose & double clamp it at the thru hull fitting.
For garden hose adaptor, the Timmy T is the way to go. |

Hey Hollywood.
Meaning if it's not opened or prone to failure? Thank you (In case you haven't heard, Brian's bringing the 65' mustang back to life.) |

Is there supposed to be a linked post or something else to look at?

Hello All. I just found this post on seacocks.
I'll need to pull the boat and see is it a regular thru hull. Thanks for any input.

Hello From Wisconsin! It’s ski season. I'm wondering is anyone has thoughts on this. I will be leaving my 1982 SN in the water a bit this summer. I’d feel more comfortable if the water intake had a seacock that I can close when not in use? Has anyone installed one or have thoughts on this? Thank you
