    Thanks to Ron and all others that replied. Your experiences mirrored those
    I have found locally. I am not at a "concientious" marina. One of those I
    spoke to locally said "It is not fair to our tenants to not be able to
    wash their boats for almost half a year!" However, this is a high end
    condo type marina wwhere the slips are self-owned.

    It would not seem to be a teribbly difficult contraption to build a
    temperature controlled valve. There are electricaly controlled seacoks /
    ball valves, just need a thermostat to control it. However, it would need
    to be accurate within a few degrees and be shaded from the sun (if any).

    I called an irrigation/sprikler supplier and a plumbing supply and they
    have never heard of such an animal. Possible uses in agriculture -
    watering holes for cattle. I won't be aplying for a patent though.

    Thanks

    John
