Re: keel fin

Carl, Correct, you will need to drill the anodes that you get from BoatZincs. If your existing keel (and trim tabs & rudders) don't have holes drilled in them yet, you'll need to that as well. The good thing, after you've done this the first time to the mounting surfaces, you've got a template t...

We store pop/picnic supplies (napkins/paper plates/extra plastic ware in those. I am going to do some reinforcement of the table's...

Re: Overhead DC Accessory Panel Restoration
