Any pictures to post?
How was your exhaust elbow, was it full of carbon?
No sailing up North here - just got 7" of snow today.
My next project is finishing the brightwork on my Dyer Dhow Midget, and checking craigslist for a used trailer to haul her...

Happy new year to all!
I have started tearing the 1GM10 down.
The zinc was a crumbly wad of grey fluff. Managed to keep what was left of it from falling in the water space. Flattened the mounting plate with a big flat file and a coarse diamond sharpening plate. Perhaps a gasket will seal it now better than the blue gob of permatex that was there before. Lots of loose paint & rust in that area.
Yanmar's gasket "kit" doesn't seem to include an exhaust manifold gasket, so I've ordered that along with the small water hoses.
The very good news is that the front oil pipe that was previously out of stock even from Yanmar is now available again. So I can ditch my cobbed up version.
Now that the prop shaft is loose it slides down and I see the wear at the cutlass bearing surface. That has probably never been replaced. I sense an increase in the List...
Hope some of you are still sailing, we have 3 months until the marina re-opens.
