If there's another term with this administration, this once great country will cease to exist as we know it. The Constitution was trampled on badly. What happens in the second term where there is nothing to lose. God help us.

I agree with replacing the sea cocks. Those appear to be Groco. Good sea cock but Groco does not support them anymore. The biggest problem with them is by not keeping them lubricated an the (I'll use the term rubber, not sure what it actually is) rubber will seize in the casting an tear.

Check the hose from the deck to the tank for holes/cracks and hose loose at the clamping area. All it takes is a pinhole to not obtain a vacuum to draw out the waste.

Very nice. That's what mine needs. It has some stress cracks. Too old to do all that work, and no place to do it but under the sky. :(

Congrats-- Brings back memories. My first boat, other than runabouts was a 1965 Trojan 31 ft lapstrake flybridge with a pair of Interceptor 210's (Ford 289 ci). Good boat. Now have a 1978 F32. Had her since 1986.
Keep her in Mystic CT.
