Just bought a Raymarine ST40 and the advice is to paint the log wheel

any down in UK - grateful for any suggestions.

I have also bought and installed an ST40 this year. And I am mightily
impressed. Because of the blanketing flaps [or whatever you call
them], I find I can whip it out and the blank in very quickly and
don't get enough water in to fill a small sponge. I now find it easier
to take out the log after every sail and put in the blank. Nothing
grows in my paddle wheel as a result. Of course it may be different
after I go on a six week summer cruise - but then I might deicde to
take it out every night.

all the best,
