Another yea vote, I have had it in the bugeye for 12 years.   A seal  
in the MC recently gave out so I  will be opening the entire system to  
see how it has survived.  Expect to also see what the water situation  
is like assuming there is any.  More to come and yes Peter I still  
have not had time to do this job.
