Good advice Tim. Also flush with lots of fresh water if the boat is going to sit for a while.
I would like to find a substitute part for the piston rod packing on the W.C. headmate. Don't need the whole kit, and I can't find a source for the individual parts anymore. Going to try backing up what is still left with some hardware store "graphite string" packing sold to fix faucet bonnet leaks, but if anyone has had good experience with something else, I would like to hear it.

Salt deposits build up on the valves and vinegar helps dissolve it. It is a cheap and very much hands-off first option. Tim
