The sea strainer/sea cock for the AC pump is located outboard on the forward end of the port engine and the strainer is mounted on its side. We keep the boat in a creek off the York River and are plegged with jelly fish this time of the year. That’s means cleaning the strainer often. Not a fun...

Anyone know the size of the tabs that came on a 53MY (circa 1980)? I'm trying to keep an eye pealed for a used set that is the same width but longer fore/aft to increase the lifting area (to get a bit more bow down). Or may look into having custom ones made.
