That light bar is cool. I'd be tempted to put red and blue flashing lights on it to get other boaters to pull out of my way. :)

Nice, thanks for the info!

Yes, I did notice that you can let air out quickly just by pulling the valve body against the spring. I think I did about the same with the retaining nuts on my valves,...

On the seized valve, I'd bet that it's the cap/handle that's bent and not the actual brass cone since that part is quite heavy duty. Have you tried using a couple large flat bladed screwdrivers to...
