We usually open the toilet intake seacock when we get to our boat and
have it open as long as we are under way. Have reconsidered that

==========================

You can flood via the output seacock as well if the right valves fail.

Both input and output shoud have vented loops well above the
waterline.


and better keep seacocks closed or else taking a leak get more serious
meaning
