Hi Ken I'm intrested in knowing how you replaced your cockpit drain, & where the access port was installed to accomplish this. I also own a '76 M17 & suspect my drain is leaking so I.'m looking for a good way to replace it. Also would be intrested in descriptions and/or pic's of your mast raising system. (by the way I understand a good way to unstick the c'board is with a 3/16" dia. steel rod stuck through the pennant hole accompanied by a sharp tap with a hammer) Fair winds
