[C320-list] dripping raw water pump

[Kirk McCullough]

Myron is the drip from the screws that hold the cover plate on the pump? If 
its from that area, it's easy to unscrew the cover and install a new gasket. 
Get a new impeller and install it at the same time.

I had a salt water drip from aroung the cover plate and easily removed the 
cover, installed a new impeller and a new gasket.
