[C320-list] Sea strainer bowl is stuck

[Mark Gillingham]

Got it. Thanks for everyone’s  advice.

I tried with my band wrench every few minutes for an hour or so. It finally
released. I cleaned it out and hand tightened it. With the surface growth
in Lake Michigan I’ll be cleaning it every few days in our way to Beaver
Island from Saugatuck.

p.s., I ran the engine to check for a leak and noticed the shoot dripping a
couple times per second. I used to check this in May but I’m off schedule
since moving from Chicago to New Mexico. Of course, I could budge the lick
nut and had to find a helpful mechanic at the marina. I should be able to
monitor it and make adjustments as needed  now.
