Several hours of rain, quite hard at times. Bit of water in the bilge, none in the aft battery box. Perhaps the great accumulation of water while on the hard at Smith's Marina may have been due to the port list imparted to the boat when she was blocked.

The engine raw water filter, an WSB-500 strainer , is seven years old, installed 2016-03-17. The clear plastic vessel has aged and is showing cracks/crazing. Lost the o-ring/gasket last season and have been making do with an inadequate replacement. Purchased and replacement WSB-500 strainer for less than $40 at Fawcett's. The vessel alone from Groco is listed at $40. No leaks.
