Re: Seacoat Sea-speed bottom paint
Not looking for speed, just easy cleaning, less frequent painting and fuel efficiency I suppose. This is supposedly a 10 year paint and so far looks like material cost would be similar to Interlux 2009E + Trilux 33. Their barrier coat may even be less expensive and engineered for aluminum also. I li...

Re: Engine, genny, A/C flushing
Descaling aside for a moment (I never did that so don' t have expertise) - you may want to periodically close the intakes and run fresh water via your dock hose thru all the strainers for a few minutes. That should keep them pretty free from river silt Good idea. I hope to install a flush valve to ...

I had 5 damp-rids, a fan, 2 bilge heaters and 5 100W heat bulbs on most of the time. We had everything that I coul...
