This is the second season I've owned the boat. The head barely worked when I launched it the first season. I have absolutely no idea how long it's been since anyone serviced the head.

I don't think I can get away with a kludge. The time has come for me to pay the piper. And I'm hoping that regular applications of HeadLube will prolong another rebuild for a while.

I've ordered a rebuild kit from Wilcox Crittenden for the Headmate. Thanks for pointing out that it is the same model! I'll post a reply when the job is done indicating whether all the parts are compatible.
