Intake/ outflow valves

[ukrsindicat]

Good morning everyone!

My head intake and outboard hull fittings have no valves. I guess previous owner, believed in luck and his plumbing skills to keep the boat afloat.
Well, its time to get something done about it.
I am know that I need 90 degree ball valves. I was planning on diving under and pushing two Tru Plug cones in the intake and outflow of my hull fittings to prevent water from getting in while I am working out it. However, I am not sure how to glue those ball fittings on. What materials should I use? What precautions to take, etc.

Any help would be appreciated!

What is the material coming threw the hull? Looks like Glass or glassed over. You are going to need to mount the new valves to a structure. Consider glassing in a mounting plate around the existing material and the cut flush to the top of the mounting plate and then attach your new valve like any other.
looks very scary.

I would work on going to seacocks for long term safe shut off
