Perko raw water strainer

[Pedro]

My Perko raw water strainer is now leaking from the base gasket,(I already bought the gasket kit,)can the bolts be tightened to seal it so I can do a full rebuild of it during winter lay up? I'd hate to make it worse,

Try tightening it down. It can be rebuilt whil in the water. Take about an hour. Just make sure you close you raw water intake.

Replaced the cork gaskets still leaking,,, I'll try that one more time,probably need to use a buffing wheel chair n the metal,,,,or some permatex to help,,,

Look for hairline cracks.

We replaced the cork gasket with rubber, had to trim up out side of gasket for a better fit to achieve no leaks.
