Source for drain/try cocks

A special section just for steam engines and boilers, as without these you may as well fit a sail.

Guys,

Thanks for all the feedback. I have some "stuff" on the way.
Hopefully it will get me to the scene of the shipwreck......

My fallback plan is to offer guided dive tours of the 22.5 foot "historic steam launch"
in Narraganset Bay.

I have to say that as a newcomer to this activity sourcing has
been one of my biggest problems, at least doing so economically.

There is no single repository of websites etc that are useful.
Maybe one of you gents could consider putting something like that
together some winter.

My thought now is "ugly and in" I am skipping the hull paint, finish work
Etc to just get it in the water.

Jon

I am webmaster for these three sites (which explains the similarity) and developed them to be as complete and comprehensive as practicable. I know I'm missing some, but I question the quality or cost from some manufacturers.

Some useful resources there!

For those the other side of the Pond, the link below may be a way of reducing postage and import tariff costs:
