When I was new to my Triton I considered Marlon seacocks, my boatyard guy told me the Marlon handles had a habit of breaking off. Indeed, there were two Marlon seacocks on the boat...both had broken handles. I replaced them with bronze. The point about proper maintenance is right on of course. What ...
