For a 2016 RT 29S with Volvo 260.
I discovered a fairly steady drip from the Seawater strainer, appears from the drain valve. I replaced the O-Ring, adjusted to finger tight but still get a small amount dripping out. I’ve adjusted it and monitored but believe there may be a small crack at the drain valve. I think the next step is to replace the bowl but want to verify parts and whether I need to pull the boat out of the water or just ensure the sea-cock is closed. I believe it’s a MH 1.5 or 1500 series bigger question is do I pull the boat or is it safe in the water with the sea-cock closed
