Hello all. I purchased a 1990 Hunter 30 last season. It has been in the water for about a month. I have noticed a slight leak (2-3 drops)when I open and close the engine intake seacock. The drops of water appear to come from the opening where the screw exits and handle attaches. I am assuming this is not supposed to happen. I was wondering if tightening the nut where the handle attaches would stop the leak. The bedding at the hull and remainder of the seacock appear to be in good working order. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.
