Personally, I'm not a great fan of boats that drain the cockpit through
scuppers in the transom. Let's just say my experience has been less than
stellar. And I would think drilling a couple of 1 1/2" holes into the sides
of the boat, then putting seacocks in there is both ugly and results in
seacocks that are also hard to reach.

Maintenance on the SV series Groco valves looks to be pretty easy, and
unsiezing them looks pretty straightforward. See
http://www.groco.net/SVC-MAN-07/Sec4/PDF/SV.pdf . Looks like it would be
something to put on your list of things to do on the next haul out.

BTW, when was the last time you changed the scupper hoses?

I have a C&C 32 which has two drains in the cockpit both are connected to
separate seacocks (GROCO SV-1500) below the waterline, needless to say both
seacocks are difficult to get to, as a result they are both seized in the
open position. Has anyone changed this setup to drain water out above the
waterline and if so, do you have any problems with water backing up into the
cockpit when underway. 

Thanks
