I know most of you seasoned boaters probably know this, but I thought I would post this for the "Newbees" like me out there.Yesterday I was making A visual check in the engine room, and found the thru hull to the port engine leaking @ the handle,(a steady drip). Needless to say, I panicked. I cycled the handle a few times, did not help. Had visions of having to pull the boat out to replace the valve. I quickly checked with our on site mechanic, and he said no problem, remove the handle and tighten down the packing gland nut. Sure enough, problem was solved that easily.went to the galley and made a tall bourbon & water, and celebrated my victory in the engine room.......
