The transom-mounted valve includes a valve sleeve disposed in the drain port of a boat transom and carrying a valve stem for axial movement. The valve stem includes a valve head movable with the stem between valve-open and valve-closed positions. A cap is releasably secured on the inboard end of the sleeve and mounts an actuating cable guide and anchor, as well as a cam pivotally carried by the cap and attachable to the movable portion of the actuating cable. The cam engages the valve stem. Upon rotation of the cam by linear movement of the actuator cable, the stem is moved against the bias of the spring from the valve-closed to the valve-open position with the spring bias closing the valve when the cam is moved to the valve-closed position.

Transom-mounted valve with remote actuator

The remotely operated linear actuated valve includes a sleeve open at one end with radial ports about the sleeve. A valve seat is disposed between the open end and the ports. A valve member is slidable axially in the sleeve. Slots are formed through the sleeve and valve member to receive a guide for a cam, the valve member carrying a cam follower. By linearly displacing the cam in a direction normal to the axial direction, the valve member is moved between valve closed and valve open positions. A cap is releasably secured on the sleeve whereby ready and quick disassembly and reassembly of the valve elements may be effected.
