Well can't get any better suggestion than the one from the manufacturer!! Thanks!

Posted this on FB but didn't make much headway. Bough my M in the fall original paint is really really nice. I'd like to give her a nice coat of fresh Wax before putting her in the water. Do I use a boat wax designed for fiberglass or something more like automotive paint since it's more for painted ...

Went down to check on the boat today, I just bought it in the fall so haven't ran it much. Previous owner told me he thought the leak was a valve cover. I changed oil before winterizing. This is the starboard 360 which he had rebuilt and has about 50 hours on it. I've got oil sitting in the bilge?? ...

I would like to put fresh bottom paint on as it has some wear/bare spots and I don't know the last time it was done. Question is what is the best way to prep with limited access to power/sand bl...

In a 32 foot Mrinette, there are about 60 cubic meters of air space. So, if there is absolutely no air exchange in the boat,you would need to collect 600 ...

I assume it's in a plastic container, sitting on a counter, not in contact with the hull. If so, it shouldn't be a problem. I used moisture absorbing stuff for years with no visible effect. There's another product - I apologize, I cannot recall the name -- that was good at reducing mold. It release...

So I put a bunch of calcium chloride “B-dri” in my cabin to help keep moisture down but then started thinking I’ve seen chlorine airborne in a pool room eat out copper heat exchangers in pool heaters... any chance of calcium chloride affecting anything on the M?? First time with the M in winter.. ju...
