    where to tie in for aux fuse panel?

    the 20 amp circuit is #12 wire-good for 20 amps. But it just runs to # 1 battery-not good. I'll look for this panel this weekend and If I don't find it I think I'll run a #8 with 30A fuse right to baterry switch output. Does this sound like it will work?

    bottom paint????

    my boat has a blue coating of bottom paint. I think its an albalative as it will stain my hands blue if I rub it. It needs to be repainted. Is there a product that can go right over the old with minimal sanding?( just the peeling parts is all I would like to sand)

    Marine head bellows replacement.

    job completed in 5 minutes this weekend. you might need to cut through the old putty with a knife to help you pull it out. I didnt use caulk as the putty provided on the bellows worked great. just make sure the valve assembly on the new inlet tube is on the bottom when you install it.
