Frank, looking at your new drawing gave me an idea of how to blend your assembly with mine to allow the unit to be in a tight spot like mine is. So it will be assembly model #5 or 6 perhaps 7. I'm having a hard time keeping track. ;)' It will all start to make sense when I start drinking Moose Drool at the local pub called the Mangy Moose.

Ya, it doesn't seem that complicated to me. I updated the little sketch I had posted earlier so here it is. The only "close tolerance" parts are the rod and bushing. Both "off-the-shelf" parts. The rest is made from just flat plate and welded up. With the gasket on top, the sand just washes away. Where the gasket is shown, I made a little pocket for it to sit in, but that's probably more complicated than it needs to be too. Anyway, I look forward to seeing your valve. Made any headway on the "cue-ball" thru-hull? I haven't given up hope on that idea yet. Frank D.
