Agree with phil In fact, I'm tempted to post his suggestion as an answer: "No deje la llave de paso abierta cuando limpie la embarcación -> "Do not leave the water running when you clean the vessel"...

No "Stop tap" is wrong in my opinion. They've used "tap" for all the other bullet points, which is correct. It just means don't leave the water running when you're not using it.

full context the full context is here, scrolling down to the heading "CONSEJOS MEDIOAMBIENTALES" and opening the drop-down menu "USO RESPONSABLE DE LOS RECURSOS". http://www.marinaibiza.com/medioambiente.php?lang=es
I have just noticed that at the bottom you can click on English and it says "stop tap". When I did this translation they changed a lot of what I put, including changing my "stopcock" to "stop tap". Now I am reviewing the changes they made for my outsourcer as a quality control exercise. So the help I need please, is to know whether "stop tap" would be correct. Thank you!

Una llave de paso... ...es simplemente lo que en España llaman grifo.
Es decir, cierre el grifo, no deje salir el agua.

Yes Some kind of stopcock, but on what? What does it say before and after this?

more context needed This could refer to many things: the water on the pontoon, the hose nozzle, the seacocks so the bilges do not spill into the harbour...
