Wanted: A small, ferrit like human being. Must be able to manuver into my bilge & retrieve 50+ stainless washers. Pay is based upon experience.
Get some duct tape from JC, wrap it on a stick and twist it around so the sticky side is out and swab the deck. Caution, if your bilge is clean the tape will stick to it so hope yours is dirty then the tape won't stick. Keep repeating until you get them all.

You mean that kind of stuff needs to be attached?

Wow... When I rebuilt the engine I just opened the hatch and threw the parts in.

That would explain the rattle. You do things different, whan I rebuilt my engine I just wrote a check. I found that to be way cleaner.

NICE! I almost fell over when I read the first line. Then I realized you were talking about the Cig. Lets hope there are no horror stories about the Stinger.

I cleaned this when I got it. Lots of Kentucky sand. Other than that, not bad for a 17 yr old boat.
