Daniel Grantham Posted January 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 Thankyou everyone for your comments I have been to look at it now as you have all said it’s surfaced rust and it doesn’t have an air filter at the top , they. Gave me surveying report and when looking at it I was concerned on the stern tube when I went out to view they said he tightens the nuts as water seeps in is this exspensive to replace the stern tube and pack the gland I’ve sent the survey report to look thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
