When I pulled the 150 for the first time yesterday I found that the hanks have grown an interesting coat of white fuzz. The pistons have also seized up. Are these hanks salvagable or do I need to replace them? Also, how do you remove the hanks?

Give each piston a small shot of WD-40 and let them soak for a while. They should loosen up fairly nice. Getting the tarnish off is a bit tricky to do and not stain the sail all up. Don't have a simple suggestion there.
