Hey Folks

Noob GW owner here...was going through the shutdown checklist on the Captain Grady app and closing all seacocks is listed when boat not in use. I'm having trouble finding the valves pictured to shut them on this boat. Are they located in a different place / position on the Fisherman 180? Thanks.
 
do you have raw water pick up or live well on your boat? if you dont...you most likely dont have seacocks!
 
They are located below the two pie plates in the motor well. Tricky to reach.. I'm thinking about add rods to mine to make opening and closing easier. they have rods on the bigger Gradys...
 
If the boat is out of the water or if you have a place on the water where you can dunk yourself and look at the bottom of the hull aft (about 6 inches to a foot) off the transom, you will see the strainer/scoop in the hull if there are any. If is a scoop, there will be a seacock valve above that spot in the bilge.
Strainer thru hulls look like this

Depending on your options you may have none, one or perhaps two strainers
