Thanks a lot guys,

I'm going to start with the easy repair first: Replace the fill and drain screws and washers and add Seallube and synthetic lower unit oil. Give it a month and it that does not do the trick, replace the water pump. Ultimately, I will take up Kami's offer on borrowing the lower unit pressure tester.

By the way, Hammer---the operative word is "to borrow" like in "To receive (something) from somebody temporarily, expecting to return it."

Reel, it still looks like sh_t. I screw in place a piece of old plexiglass, made one center hole and put a fuel gauge. I'm still trying to figure out besides the alarm, how I'm going to go about protecting my electronics. I will use my V20 until the "Florida Winter" and then dry dock and do the repairs. For now, as long as I'm back in the water, I'm happy. Thanks for asking. 8)
