water in sump near shaft packing gland

I recently found water in the sump aft of the engine under the packing gland. Of course my first suspicion was the Volvo gland, but turns out that the water was coming from the entry to the water lift muffler. Tightening both hose clamps stopped the leak. I had never checked those clamps before as they were a bit out of the way, but I suggest that its worth the effort.

Sailing on . . .

Metaphorically I am sailing on. My life has taken a turn down a new road. To encompass all that is going on Sea Knots might be limiting.

Comment by Marcello on March 9, 2010 at 11:12am: Check my photos. My first boat building project has been a Beaver canoe (Selway-Fisher deisign) converted to a tri with two additional amas and a lateen rig. I bought the main sail of a sunfish on the internet and built the wooden mast and upper/lower boom on my own. Free to share any information about how I built it.
