Slivings, these are all good suggestions. Mine also has the leak from the bottom. I diagnosed it as the seal at the bottom of the mercathode electrode. There was a recall and it requires you to take off the plastic housing, loosen the bolts and fill in marine sealant around the orange and black wires going to the mercathode. Mine? well, I believe this was already done and the sealant has hardened and failed, which doesn't allow the electrode to drop for enough clearance to do anything. This is going to be my special winter project, and I will have to order a new one and beat the hell out of the old one.
