Re: Painted the Vee birth , Galley , and Head clean new look…
((BTW, I am reluctant to be the Spelling Cop, but what the heck -- it's a berth not a birth. I'm sure that was a typo, yes?))

The reason the tape didn't stick may be the teak trimming, inherently oily. Your thumbtack trick did the job

Re: Uneven exhaust water flow
from my memory bank of experience: -rust usually (to me) happened gradually and is almost powdery and therefor, flushed as you travel but esp at startup. But, it does flake and that stuff can get caught and build up. One of the places it can clog is the oil cooler. You can disassemble and flush them...

Re: Possibly The Most Overlooked Preventive Maintenance!!!
In the earliest days of M forums (this iteration is at the third one since I "came aboard" in the early 90's), there were a lot of queries for "tell me about your boat". The signature solves that.

Re: Possibly The Most Overlooked Preventive Maintenance!!!
Agree that the caps are one of the long list of preventive checks for M's or any boat. But I would rank checking oil levels and character (milky, water drops) at or near the top

Re: Uneven exhaust water flow
Check the easy thing first: The seal on the intake water strainer. Just a small air gap is enough to throttle the water flow. Sometimes a new gasket is in order, sometimes it's as simple as tightening the cover if it's loose or maybe even apply a little grease or vaseline to the seal .
