I was seeing some milky exhaust discharge at engine start up so I had the exhaust elbow cleaned out. It seems better. After chasing slow loss of antifreeze from the FWC we found the 35 year old Yanmar "fresh water" pump needs replacement. It is an eye watering $500 with tax and is on order. I will also torque the cylinder head nuts and adjust the valves.
The next major project is to take the chain plates apart and probably replace them. They have never been inspected in 35 years so it is way overdue. One of the J/30s at our club had to have its bulkhead substantially rebuilt after an inspection.
