I forgot to post this update......as it turns out the seacock barrels were fine.....the boatyard (Deaton’s in Oriental, NC) apparently didn’t know how to lap the barrels and were too lazy to use google. They media blasted them !!! Insane.....I was fortunately able to later remove, lap and grease them and they have all been fine and leakproof since. Since this occurred in year number two of our big boat ownership, I mistakenly assumed a professional boatyard would know how to perform seacock maintenance better than I. They also installed the handles in the wrong orientation so they looked closed when they were actually open. New rule of thumb......DIY if you want it done correctly or at a minimum double check all proposed procedures and watch the pro so you can do it next time. Live and learn.
