That wouldn't work since 90% of the screws and bolt are non magnetic. The only that are, are on the engine.. I don't like to have anything magnetic around the boat. Ya never know where it might end up being stored and that would mess up the compass compensation. -- My opinion and experience. FWIW Steve s/v Good Intentions it was engine work that I was thinking of. You asked for suggestions.... Actually it was Skip and not Steve who asked. But I agree - NO MAGNETIC TRAYS. Too easy to screw up your compass on which you depend. And there's more than one compass if you have an autopilot - at least ours has a fluxgate compass under the aft cabin berth. You don't really need a magnetic tray for engine work anyway - all that stuff is going to be down in the bilge and probably won't fall overboard. grandma Rosalie |
