Thanks, Dennis. All ball valves. Have to free up the cockpit drain valves. The surveyor says I'll get another couple of seasons on the cutless bearing and it has a MaxProp that I like a lot! I looked at the strut and discussed it during the survey. The surveyor (Dwight Escalera of Executive Marine who is a friend and very knowledgeable) said everything was fine there. I'll monitor it during the summer, though.
