first the cockpit scuppers were leaking when I bought the boat, fixed.

next, there was a shaft packing leak, fixed.

then the raw water nipple on the outlet of the exhaust manifold sprung a leak, fixed.

In each case, I neglected to remove the heat wrap. Yesterday I did, and chunks of pipe peeled off with the wrap.

the "jacketed exhaust" does not leak.
