Thanks for the quick replies.
It seems that you can still get the Perko 559s online. I think it is time for me to stock up!

Re: Help - Impeller won't turn / seized

Thanks for that reply.
Can the seals be replaced and the unit repaired, or will I need to replace the impeller unit?

Re: Patrick O'Brien's Aubrey Maturin series

The truth is, I have the entire series, and I have been hanging on to it with the hope that my children would read the books.
