Craig, I'm a former Searunner 37 owner. I think I still have a couple Jim Brown books if you'd like them.

I hope the posts will explain the "whys" as well, such as, why tie a knot in the positive wire, and what does wax do for wood screws, or why does placing a battery on the ground or concrete ground them out?

Doesn't that confuse them little electron thingies running through them wires? I mean, I thought that's what "DIRECT" current meant - ya gotta keep them wires as straight as you can! Also, don't set your batteries on the ground, or even concrete. That GROUNDS THEM OUT, and then they won't be any good. Kinda like snap peas towards the end of the harvest - all wrinkly and limp, and not much flavor...
