I discovered TF in 2011 shortly after purchasing my first power boat. Although my Viking is not a trawler, the subject matter and issues discussed here come closest to my boat use and concerns. I started out with the idea that my Navy experience (submarines and SpecWar) would be a leg up on power cruising - not so much. I do as much of my own work as possible because I like it, not to mention the cost factor of hiring it out.
In any case, I never cease to be amazed at the effort and thought expended by TFers to help out new guys. The TF "cadre" (you know who you are) have again and again (both directly and indirectly through old posts) guided me through a bunch of repair and maintenance issues that initially seemed far beyond my skill set.
My thanks to you all. Merry Christmas and a healthy and happy New Year
