Steve,
a) Did you happen to keep the old water pump and rebuild it...if so you can try it. Replacement parts can fail, just not likely, but it can happen.

b) How does your exhaust look for keeping water out of the engine. Have you had any hard start issues.

c) What do the plugs look like. Any sign of water or really clean. Look with a light in combustion chamber as well and see if one or two look cleaner than the others....of course, 3 and 4 are typically dirtier than 1 and 2...worth a look though.

I saw one C&C 27 with a shut off valve in the exhaust right past the mainifold...like inches away. I seem to remember it being on the ejection line that goes from the manifold to the hot exhaust...someone had that there for a reason???
