Worst case might be to remove the seacocks, then you can adequately heat them etc to disassemble and rebuild??

Even if you'd never use them in regular conditions, you're much better off if, say, a hose breaks and you need to contain the leak.

I have these two giant bronze seacocks for my cockpit drain hoses. photos on google drive: https://drive.google.com/open?id=12TWUN1oiyiACR0IvaBKlEo2HqdzPMmqY I have no clue how old they are but they are totally seized in the open position. I've tried WD-40, a heat gun and a rubber mallet but can't get them to budge. My question is should I rip these out and put in some sort of replacement or should I just leave them. When will I ever want to close seacocks to the cockpit drains? Clearly the previous owner was not in the habit of closing these. What should I do?
