Re: Oxidized gelcoat ???

I bought the cheap Chicago DA buffer at Harbor freight. 3m Imperial was amazing, 14 months and my hull still has that nice glow to it.

Re: Autohelm ST6000+ - How to Disable Watch Alarm?

I had the same kind of problem with the 4000 plus model. After two days of looking through the manual to fix it properly, it came to me to just unplug the wire from the little blue buzzer.

Re: Insurance For Mooring Fields!!!

True, the owner of the boat that hit mine had insurance but the guy refused to tell anyone who the insurance company was. It took 5 day's but with the help of the marina we got the name.

Re: Fort Lauderdale/Miami info- where to sail a small boat?

Zimm,
