Sounds as though this sad story will have a happy ending!!! Anyone care to share their thoughts on proper chafing gear, usage, types, "doubling up" what's best, what to avoid etc. Maybe we can shine some light on this subject.

I very recently had a boat surveyed. She was on the hard. The compass stood motionless. The surveyor took his cell phone from his pocket and from 1 foot away passed the phone in front of the compass and was able to move it 180 degrees. Checked off as operational.
