Ongoing maintenance

Stern gland needs repacking badly - water pissing in even at engine idle, presumably due to vibration - one of the engine mounts is soft.

Battery charging issue is a bit disturbing - alternator output poor and unable to isolate starter battery without killing feed to leisure.

Engine is also smoky and takes a few turns to start which won't help the battery issue. Got to decide if I need to spend money on it or look for a cheap recon unit.

Might have to wait until next year now - too many jobs to do at home and at work.

Also need to clean the engine bay - everytime I go in I come out like I am a member of the black and White minstrels
