I second the idea of flushing with fresh water. What really counts is the last
flush before leaving the boat. It makes a big difference.
This applies (I hear) especially, if you sail in salt water, but even on a
lake, the outboard water is not as clean as we would want to believe. So I use

Good am all,
We had another great weekend on the boat and I finally confirmed that my
fresh water pump is the culprit on the leak I've had for a couple months.
Easier to fix than finding a leak in the hoses or at a joint somewhere..
The Pump is the original Jabsco with diaphragm and plunger

Quarter stay?
Do you mean runners or checkstays? They should have tails long enough to ease
the leeward set of blocks to the chainplates.
They are used differently on fractional rigs than masthead rigs. See Selden
sight to better understand the various rigging terms.

Hi Skip,
If those quarter stays are also known as running
backstays or checkstays it is not uncommon to
have them appear too short on a boat that is race
