Re: Through hull placement
Yes mount it facing forward. Don't put the little wire mesh thing in it like I did as I keep catching hell for doing that. Put a strainer on top of the seacock. I have a pump that mounts to the top of the seacock which is why I did not put a strainer there. Get a pump that you can mount somewere else and run a hose to it from the strainer. I like your idea of drilling holes into the block to reach the bolts on the scoop. Yes I would fill with 4200 or silicone that you can dig out later. It cant hurt to put another valve by the bait tank. I usually just turn off the seacock when underway. You can also partially close the seacock and get the same effect as putting another valve by the bait tank. Sounds like you have it all figured out.
