The 32’s are crossed (or are originally). The old barrel style seacocks are a pain in the a$$, but can be disassembled. I have one now myself to do (head intake). I have been told that the square headed screw showing in your picture can be replaced by a zerc (so?) fitting to make lubing easier in the future.

Seacocks should be closed when not in use and more importantly when not on board - particularly those below the water line. There is no time when your cockpit drains will not be in use. Besides, seacocks that are inaccessible never get closed. I suggest looking for a place to re-route your drains, to a location above the waterline, without valves, and then permanently retire the through hulls. Also consider the waterline when heeled. You may have to cross port and starboard.

One issue the surveyor pointed out is the seacocks for the cockpit drains are stuck in the open position. This boat has spent it's known history in cold salt water on the west coast of BC. I'm interested to know if anyone else has had this same type of seacock, and had success freeing it up. https://photos.app.goo.gl/xp1haN2nPHUneETUA The starboard side one is only barely accessible through the 12"x 12" panel in the aft end of the quarter-birth. If it was reasonably accessible, I'd just replace it, but to get 2 hands on it I'd probably have to go through the locker and remove the fuel tank. The other pic is a fitting on the rudder tube. I assume this is (well, was) a grease cup. Has anyone taken one of these on?
