Default West Marine ,, is that the worst store or what

Defender used to have very good prices. Someone probably bought them out, and
the prices shot up.

Got to do a little head to head comparison this week. This is from the
West Marine store in Corpus Christi vs. Defender's online prices.

32 oz. 303 fabric protector: West - $27, Defender $32. This was a
surprise.
18 g duplex wire, Ancor: West - $75, Defender $43.
3M metal restorer and polish, 16 oz. tub: West - $28, Defender $19.

Also, add 8.25% sales tax to the above if purchased locally. Very
advantageous to shop online, I'd say. West will usually price match, if
you bring in a web price.
