The Lowrance GPS/Fishfinder I have needed to have a cutoff switch installed even if you turned off at the machine. If not installed it will remain on. Bob also made a subtle mention of that.

We use a 12gauge extension cord attached to a 30amp fitting that plugs into the shore side pedestal. Then we use zip ties to attach the cord to the boats rails and at the pedestal.Just cut them when leaving.Never have to worry about cord falling in the water.

Talking about flares.......I ran into a new concept to me at the Seattle boat show. It's the ODEOFLARES flare which is a hand held red flare using lasers rather than pyrotechnics. Runs on batteries and I understand has the blessing of the coast guard in our area.

I'm like c-ness, when I get around the boat in the slip I feel good.......at 81 that really keeps me going. Can't wait for summer sun.

The upper oil extractor We have been using for yrs is the Moeller. You put the tube in and pump the thing up and go away and let it do its thing.

A friend of mine had his sailboat on a partnership and it was ok for the summers,but when it came to after summer maintenance the other guy was in Arizona. after several yrs of that it desolved.

I use a fan like the Wesr Marine one that Harvey has (you also need a small amount of heat) and be sure and leave all the drawers and doors open. Never have had a problem. Roger, your nice setup should be ample to get the air movement you need.

Steve. I have seen it in a lot of boat stores here in Washington. don't know about your area.

we use Mer Maids boat wash with 2 percent Carnauba wax. It really works and people are always saying that our boat looks brand new. One of the things I like about it is that it helps maintains the hand done wax.

I really had a great time following your well planned trip. Your pictures were some of the best and went well with the narrative. hank you and congrats.

Or you could get the Scotty hooks for your downrigger and keep them ready for use at any time. During the winter when not fishing I keep them in the ball holder in the cabin storage.

we put it on our Tomcat and did not have to do any glue type of any nature. It really did away with any condensation.

we have the seat back that Simon mentions on our 24 Tomcat and it is really great for someone facing forward when we are under way.

We second those comments. best wishes on your new direction.

John, on our Tomcat it looks like they put sand in whatever they used to paint. As you know it is hard on bare feet.

Have been using rains for yrs on the boat. It also makes it a cinch on a dirty window to just take a damp towel and go over the window and then wipe down with a dry one.

roger..."your description is just like what I have done on my Tomcat. Works great.

I use a product called Blaster silicone sl lube. works great.

Hope things go well for you on this new project. From what Old growth mentioned to me a couple weeks ago it is a well designed boat and all in good hands.

Jim, you have our prayers coming your way.
