It would help if you said what engine and boat you had, and how it was setup... Might also want to read this
post to get a bit more info on how to get the most of the time you spend here.
The seacock and strainer are probably the problem... and should be checked first. You do have a big bronze raw water strainer, right???

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
