Any idea on how long the gasket or main seal (where sail drive passes through the hull) should last.
I just purchased a 1981 ODay 28. Previous owner (owned for 2 years--bought from an estate) did not know if/when gasket was replaced, have no records before his purchase. Boat has been in fresh water for at least 10+ years, maybe longer.
I'm hauling the boat soon for new bottom job. Any thoughts or recommendations on replacing this gasket?
Thanks
