Remote seacock control ?

After worrying about old hoses giving way I finally think I located all the throughhulls and went to the effort of closing all of them when we left - what a pain ! :)

I think there are only 6 but the two in the engine room are the ones that really make me wish there was a way to control them remotely. Having to remove the large companionway ladder and engine cover is quite a chore, but less of a chore than raising the boat from the bottom.

I guess an alternative would be to route the hoses to new throughhull locations that are more accessible but that means more hose to go bad and less efficient flow.
