Good advice, that has been my understanding for years. I graduated from meritime w a Cheif engineers licence in 98 and I sailed b4 and after, I'm not new to maintenence SP? Just installed 30k worth of top end this week as well as cutting out an old exhaust port and welding in a new one, that took 5 days alone.... I just havent owned a bigger boat yet so I'm a little tentitive, I'm just tryin to cover my bases and educate myself b4 I go shootin from the hip....Keep the advice comin, I'm mopin it up and wringin it in my bucket!!
