Hello Felipe + Family & Taiofa Lee
Congratulations On Your New To You Westsail!

Heres My $.02 I Presume Taiofa Lee Is On The Hard, That Will Make Some / Most Projects Easier.
About The Engine, Have You Figured Out Why Diesel Fuel Is Mixing With Engine Oil.Injection Pump, Fuel Injectors, Etc ,Leaking Internally. I Say That Because Some Of These Projects Can Get Expensive Rebuilding Engine When The Problem Could Be Repaired At A Reduced Cost.
Seacocks / If They Are Serviceable & Backing Plates Look Good
Disassemble, Clean, ( Hone If taper bronze) Grease ,Reassemble
Hoses/ Replace As Needed
Check Stern Tube For Wear
If You One of The Lucky Ones, That Don’t Have A Leak Inside Your Westsail
Congratulations! If You Do, A Good Chance It’s Coming From Your Cap Rail. The WOA
Archives Have Articles About Repairs.
What I’m Trying To Say Is, Many People Have Gone Down The Same Road As You, But Some Have Never Come Back, Mission Creap. They Ran Out Of Resources, Skill, Time, Motivation Etc. What’s
Important For Safety, And Reliablity 1st Than You Can Always Go Back On Less Important Projects Later.
There Are Many Members Of WOA That Have A Wealth Of Knowledge And Will Help,Just Reach Out. Most People That Take On The Westsail Challenge Are Generally Talented & Resourceful People, And I’m Sure You Are One Of Them.
