    Salt? stains on windows

    We have the same issue. We have screens over our windows. Even using almost exclusively softened water for all wash downs, we developed hard water spots. We ended us using Shurhold's Buff Magic with a copper pad. Worked really well. We then followed up as others have suggested by polishing...

    Is Defender is loosing it?

    Bow Just to chime in on "alternatives" to Defender et. al. Highly recommend Boat Owners Warehouse aka BOW. http://https://www.bow.com/ They were local when commissioned in Stuart, FL in 2017/18. Since then they have expanded some but free shipping over $99. As with most, they don't carry...

    How do you tie up in the locks?

    Tenn Tom / Tennessee One of the previous posts stated every lock (system) is different. How true. OWW in no way prepared us for Tenn Tom and Tennessee. We are a 58 foot trawler (KKY 58EB). We use mid ship hawse with a “looper loop” ... first read about on AGLCA. Basically PVC tubing (4...
