The fundamental “rule” is that each connection must have a resistance < 1.0 ohm because, with sacrificial anodes, the maximum voltage available is about 1.0VDC. Wrapping wire around a seacock and holding it in place with a hose clamp is pretty ineffective.
If there are no pre drilled and tapped hole in the sea cock flanges, recommend installing them. I would recommend installing a #10 NF thread hole in each seacock flanges. Crimp an uninsulated ring terminal on the AWG 8 bonding wire, then solder and heat shrink the connection. Connect the bonding wires to the seacocks and spray the connection with CRC HD Corrosion Block. Don’t daisy chain between underwater metal components. Make a connection to the transom anode (recommend aluminum) and you are good to go.
