kernr,
Thanks for the update; I love hearing about what I know nothing about - LOL. My wife an I are just now looking into joining the fray of cruising and of course buying our first boat. This kind of thing gives me pause, since there is no way anyone could know about this until it malfunctions. You are dealing with this at the dock, not mid trip.
My followup is that the under lying cause was the corrosion - so this occurs naturally due to mere exposure to the salt air? If so, what about all the other equipment?
