I'm getting them as well!

My IP sent me a letter (I forwarded it to my IP assuming it was fraud) indicating the same thing. Then another one came a few hours later. Apparently someone send over 1000 emails using my address (that's the max allowed by RoadRunner). There was an attachment BUT I DIDN'T OPEN IT. Instead I forward...

3 inch opening

Just wondering which one you plan to purchase. The bronze cowl from Mariners Hardware is the type we installed on our CD330. Instead of replacing with the 3 inch cowl which looked too puny, we went with the 4 inch cowl and had no problem with installation. Mariners Hardware will allow you to send ba...

Captain's Varnish!

I've always used Captain's Varnish for a really hard surface. Preparation is key here. Make sure that all dust, hair strands, etc., is removed before application. Best part is that it's not a slippery surface when completed.

Re: bottom paint shelf life

Bottom paint has hit the roof!

West Marine had a customer-invited sale last week with 20% off non-electronic (10% for electronic) items. I thought it would be nice to save a little on bottom paint, which I figured would be high. But I was surprised at the $199.99 :roll: per gallon price of Interlux Micron Extra. Soooo, I switched...
