YIKES, turns out, my EPIRB is dead from a cracked case and water
intrusion. They are offering me a new one with new technology for
half price which I am agreeing to.
However, my Huge bulkhead mounted Suunto compass has leaked so I have
had to replace its spherical cartridge ($100). Re-arming kits for the
auto-inflate life jackets are now over $60 each. The engine stop
cable is bad ($30). Starboard green nav light is out and I had to buy
the set for ($100). Two new deep cycle batteries ($160).


Gee, what do you do with the cases on your epirb and compass? Use them
to crack open beer bottles?

I'll bet your boat's bottom is full of blisters, too.
