Re: New member with questions, Sedan 32
Welcome aboard Ed. I’m assuming you purchased “Sea Harmony”. If you don’t have much of a crosswind and both engines you can handle the 32 no problem. If you lose an engine just call ahead on the radio to the fuel dock and they will grab a line to help you in. Best to come in to the end of a dock wit...

Have done all the basics and still takes a long time to wake that engine up after it hasn’t been starte...

Re: Mildew removal
The dehumidifier should do a good. I use one of these https://www.amazon.com/Davis-Instruments-Air-Dryr-1000-Dryer/dp/B0014TMXVA/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=marine+dehumidifier&qid=1559654495&s=gateway&sr=8-2 . No need for drain. Also use a small fan on a timer to circulate the air 4 times a day...

Cleaning tips and tricks
Orpine This seems to be the best soap per boating forums. Very concentrated and goes a long way. I've used it for the last couple of seasons and it does a good job. Dissolves spider poo if you apply and let sit for a couple of minutes. Orpine Boat Soap & Wax https://www.amazon.com/OPW2-Orpine-B...
