Rich, the “tool” is called a nipple wrench. It's a plumbers tool. If you google it I'm sure one will come up. Without it you can find a piece of steel or whatever and cut or grind it to the inside dia. of the thru-hull and make it long enough to insert and catch hold of the two small tangs that are in the thru-hull. Put an adjustable wrench on the steel plate (or whatever) and a big “monkey” wrench on the inside at the sea cock and you should have problem. Mine actually came out too easy, one of them without even having a wrench on the inside. Scared the bejesus out of me how little was holding them in for all those years. Sorry for the big picture, haven't worked that shit out yet. I feel everyone who “hasn't” removed seacocks should be aware of what I found. This is the aft deck scupper seacock and thru-hull. The one located right under the captains bed. See the brown on the threads? That's it, that was all that was holding it in. Count them …two and one half threads. Check your old thru-hulls!!!!!!!!

Taking what comes as I get it, using it all as much as I can and trying hard to leave all the shit behind.
