ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a remotely operated valve for closing and opening a conduit in communication with the interior of a boat to preclude water from entering or leaving the boat except when desired by the operator by the boat. The valve has application either as a means for keeping fresh water in the live well of the boat or as a means for bailing unwanted water from the interior of the boat. The valve has a main housing including a tapered bore and openings in communication with an interior water retaining portion of the boat and the exterior of the boat. A spring-urged tapered valve element having a passageway therein is mounted within the tapered bore of the main housing and is rotatable between first and second positions to bring the passageway of the valve element into and out of alignment with the openings in the main housing. The invention further includes means for remotely operating the valve to cause the rotation of the valve element between its first and second positions to allow water to flow in and/or out of the interior water retaining portion of the boat at the discretion of the operator of the boat as well as means for indicating to the operator whether the valve is in an opened or closed position.
