    Bottom paint for frequent cleaning?

    interior audio speakers

    Andrew~ The most important part of a "marine" speaker is that the magnets are shielded. You can use any speakers inside, but keep them away from compasses and other nav equipment. Cheapo speakers cones are made out of paper that "suck" up H2O and get crackly sounding fast. Marine grade...

    E- 25's and E-23's Centerboard

    Joe~ Do not alter the shape of the top of the board or the interior of the trunk, where the pivot and stops are. The shapes are instrumental for the retraction of the centerboard. The bottom tip of the board can easily be repaired with thickened epoxy and layers of glass. Your board really...

    Rub rail painting - results?

    To those who have painted the rubrail insert, did you completely remove it from the channel and prep and paint both sides? Also, while the insert was removed, did you also tape off and paint the mounted channel with the same paint? My rubrail also is very chalky and needs attention and this...
