<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I am in the final stage of purchasing an Alberg
30. The boat I have found is in</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>beautiful condition with a virtually new
Universal M4-30 diesel and a virtually perfect deck (never painted). I have
checked her out for all of the problems other readers and George have
indicated. The only fault I have found is a small leak where the rudder
post exits the hull on the inside. As the boat rocks a drip of water enter
the hull. O</FONT><FONT color=#000000 size=2>ver several days the bilge is
collecting about a gallon of water. For your </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>information the boat has Edson wheel steering
and I wonder if pressure from the </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>cables has or is causing a problem. Can you suggest
where the problem is likely</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>to be? I am having it surveyed this week, but the
surveyor is not likely as </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>familiar with the problem as owners.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Thanks for all your help so far</FONT></DIV>
