resist taking advantage of their offer of a roll of "premium" vinyl
black
electrical tape. 7 bucks a roll.

we had a short that killed the engine -- we seperated the wires out
(plastic
melted after touching a manifold) the closest marina was "Narrows
Marina" at
day island.

Now I like these guys; they're nice -- friendly, and fuel prices are
reasonable.
the electrical tape -- $15.99

yes; I bought it.

Next time you're at Lowe's or The Home Depot:

All my antenna connections were taped and coated with that stuff.

I also used a putty like sealant I got from Radio Shack of all places.
That stuff worked great.
