I used two ball valves and a tee from Lowes. But I replace them every two years (never had an issue, just paranoid about seals going bad from gas exposure). Very reliable and easy to use. They can be a pain if you have bassetts/rewarders and have valves mounted on transom. I would try to switch when ever I was parked at the sand bar. My current float has logs, so it's no issue at all.
