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.
