Hi Folks. First post.
I just purchased a 1977 Newport 28. Upon changing the holding tank hoses I quickly found out that one of my gate valves isn't fully closed despite the handle being turned to fully closed. So I quickly ran some hose above the waterline and plugged it (before the boat sank). I'm thinking the valve is probably just blocked via debris...a twig, poo sludge, who knows. Any ideas for how I can clear it and close the valve without hauling the boat?
Also...is there a group of Newport 28 owners on here I can subscribe to?
Thanks!
