disagree  Sven Petersson: 'Bottenventil' is an example of a seacock application, but not synonymous with 'seacock'. TYDA.se is, IMHO, very dangerous.

  -> I sammanhanget "liten fritidsbåt med dieselmotor" är bottenventil det ord jag känner till på min egen båt och alla mina vänners småbåtar. Kan hända att det i andra sammanahng, fartyg o liknande, sjöventil är mer allmängiltigt och korrekt.

agree  Madeleine MacRae Klintebo: Och gamle Emil Smith ("Nautisk ordbok på svenska, engelska och tyska språken") är av samma uppfattning

disagree  Sven Petersson: Ordboksförfattare kopierar från varandra. När väl en felöversättning publiserats så propageras den ruskigt snabbt till konkurerande ordböcker. En "seacock" behöver inte alls sitta i "botten", så "bottenkran" är en felöversättning. Jämför tysk benämning!

ventil i båtskrovet


Explanation:
http://www.smbf.se/sjosakerhet.htm:

Din båt har ett antal genomföringar, vattenintag och avlopp. Det är viktigt att du regelbundet kontrollerar både ventilen och själva genomföringen i skrovet. Ventilen ska sitta ordentligt fast och skrovet ska vara utan sprickbildning i anslutning till genomföringen. Glöm inte att öppna alla genomföringar när båten står
på land under vintern

Seacock definition:
A valve in the hull of a boat or ship that may be opened to let in water so as to flood a ballast tank, for example
