For a dozen or so 6 month seasons I used to leave the 2 previous boats in the water with a dehumidifier on the galley counter with a short hose...
UPDATE: Generator mechanic FINALLY showed yesterday. Removing the NL in two parts via a "hidden" hatch above it and installing a new Phaser...
Did you look at mid 90's 46 Bertram. Only about a dozen built and only one on the market now. Totally different then the older 46.6 model.

I used to replace them now and then on the previous boat. Maybe age or maybe someone initially made them too tight.
Just two yrs. now since I had the bottom done and diver reports it's in good shape. Since I suspect they totally ruined Trilux a few yrs back...
Wasn't sure the size since the cracked plastic nut is in a horrible to reach location so I got 3/8 and 1/2 in.

Picked up some Shark Bite T's. Thanks all.
