Coolant disposal/recycle Any suggestions for the disposal/recycle of used coolant?

Rialto marina? I thought I had heard the Realto marina had closed. The owner was going cruising. Can anyone verify this?

Krogen pilothouse window strut Hi Keith, Did you ever get the struts installed? How did they work? Can you give me the manufacture and model. Thanks, Glenn

Paravane question Are the paravane's original to the boat or did you install them? Who is the manufacture?

Our boat has a Vetus*electric bow thruster powered off the house deep cycle battery bank via a 15' (guesstimate) cable.* This does not seem a very efficient set up.* Wouldn't starter type batteries be more suited for the application? If so, how do you size the batery bank?* Thinking about...

Thanks Keith, You seem to be the only other Krogonite on the site , although I do see comments from Molly Blossom* occasionally.* Nice hearing from you. The strut only allows the window to go to about 45 degrees.* I am sure this is not OEM, so I have no idea what characteristics OEM had.*...
