    How would YOU address these and how immediate?

    Survey reveled these two items that I would like input on addressing. Strainer belongs to generator

    If nothing is leaking then these are just cosmetic. The problem is that once you start to clean these up you will find you will probably need to replace seals and gaskets, maybe the internal strainer in the process of making them look like new. The strainer is probably Groco, the rudder mount Buck Algonquin. All these parts are still available.

    The appearance of these parts would lead me to worry about the general maintenance of the entire boat. However, if this is all your surveyor found--and if he did his job properly--then you may have found a gem!

    Some green tarnish on bronze is normal but this is a lot more than just tarnish. My genset strainer isn't quite as bad but I m replacing it next haul out along with the sea cock

    Same with the rudder gland. At the very least it should be disassembled and inspected
