For anyone left with an interest in boats..
 

I got an email-nail yesterday from the service manager of my boat dealer.
He said he has all the supplies on hand and to bring in my boat to have the snaps taken off, galvanic corrosion removed and gunnel painted before re-installing the affected snaps.
Seems they had a busy summer.
Trouble is, they sell RVs, snowmobiles and motorcycles/ATVs.
Their location is an old car dealership with only 3 service bays.
When I take the boat down for winterization late October/early November the mechanic does it outdoors.
I always pick a nice sunny day for the trip although this time the boat will stay with them for a few days.

Make sure they use 316 stainless snaps and under no circumstances let
them use chrome over brass. Get a tube of TefGel and take it with you.
Insist that they use it ... if they don't already.

Donnie drives a 100 miles one way to the closest Honda dealership to
have his outboard engine winterized.

The "closest Honda dealership" is within walking distance of my house.

Luddite keeps coming to the defense of his bud, FlaJim, and says he's
not stupid but the reality is he's as dumb as a box of rocks, and he
proves it every time he has the chance.
