    Varnish for exterior

    I can highly recommend Honey Teak. I've used it for about 12 years and love it. It's a three part polyurethane. You put on some of the base coat (pigmented) then the clear coat and it's beautiful and durable. If you do it properly, you can go 2 years without touching it, more if it's in the...

    Gas storage

    I've heard that premium gas has less or no ethanol in it. T/F?

    What's up with Garmin automobile GPS'?

    I'd like to buy one, but their new top of the line isn't even for sale yet (pending FCC approval). The 2nd choices are all 3-5 weeks lead time. :ermm: Is this happening in the marine market too??

    Any Atlantic Trawler owners.

    Is Fuller still in the marine business? That link doesn't work, and nothing shows up anywhere on their site any longer.

    Varnish for exterior

    Do you know what varnish is on there now? Additional coats will darken the appearance somewhat with any varnish.

    Synthetic vs. regular disel oil

    Let's see...1 micron would equate to about a 1200 grit abrasive, with an average particle size of about 0.00005". Now what are those bearing clearances again?

    Raymarine users please help

    I hope the RM quality and service is better. I purchased radar and a depth sounder from them around 2002 and swore I'd never buy RM again.

    Proper radio communication when encountering a barge on a river

    You bet! I've turned and run the other way when one tow is slowly passing another in a narrow area. Specifially one part of the ICW between Ellender, LA and Port Arthur TX.

    Gasoline disposal

    You can dispose of diesel in with used oil. You're not supposed to put gasoline in there though.

    110 degrees in my Krogen 42, according to their specs. I hope to never prove that.

    Gas storage

    I keep mine in a vented storage locker where the propane is.

    Synthetic vs. regular disel oil

    I get mine from American Diesel. Prepaid and not expensive. Plus they get a copy of the analysis and take a look as well, and will give you a call if they spot something that needs attention.

    anyone use engine water for heat

    That's bullshit. You can read the MSDS for Simple Green here: http://www.kandelandson.com/msds/Simple%20Green.pdf Excerpt: The only ingredient of Simple Green® with established exposure limits is undiluted 2-butoxyethanol (<6%) (Butyl Cellosolve; CAS No. 111-76-2): the OSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV...

    Circumnavigating

    Get a copy of "Voyaging Under Power", hopefully a first edition and it will tell you most of what you want to know. I read mine maybe 3-4 times, and use it as a reference book. Remember that when you are crossing oceans, you are just going somewhere else to go coastal cruising. A good weather...

    Rafting

    We average about 5-7 boats in a raftup. Like Baker said, fenders are paramount. And you have to trust the guy in the middle to know what he's doing and have the proper tackle. I had six boats tied to me in Offatt's bayou for a weekend. All of them were about the same size as my Krogen 42. No...
