Re: Stus-List [SPAM] dingy dinghy
The poly marine website has some before and after pics. They actually painted on a new rubber topcoat. Inflatableboats.com has an orange cleaner/stripper that they promote using before refinishing. I've also had surprisingly good results from MEK or Interlux 202 stripper/cleaner though I would use it last. I plan on doing a complete refirb on my 10+ year old dinghy using multiple products from the first two sources. I guess I should make sure to get some before pictures now.

Re: Stus-List [SPAM] dingy dinghy
A Zodiac dealer near here did some re-gluing repairs for me a few years back. The guy who did the repairs also recommended using MEK as a cleaner prior to any gluing. The problem with MEK is that it is getting difficult to find these days. The nanny state where I live is convinced that its citizens are incompetent fools, and that dense and expensive over regulation of everything is going to make us all somehow safe. Safe from everything except the fools in government I guess. End rant. Time to get back to work on the asbestos wrapped exhaust on the boat.

Re: Stus-List RJC 1000 Radar
About 8-10 years ago, I bought a Furuno 1623 and an Edson pole mount for the stern. The mounting pole and hardware ended up being about half the total cost of the RADAR installation. That stuff is EXPENSIVE. It has held up remarkably well though. I advise that you price it all out before you jump in. When shopping for which RADAR to buy, I took note that almost all the RADAR domes I saw on commercial fishing boats were Furuno. Turns out that was a good tip. I'm now half hoping that it will break so I can upgrade to a new color HD model. Now that I have the mount installed, it isn't as daunting a prospect, as far as either cost or labor to move up. I just need an excuse. I'm a cruiser, not a racer, and I don't really mind sailing in adverse conditions. I'm often headed out when others are headed in. The RADAR is something I could not do without. Bear in mind that operating and correctly reading a RADAR display requires practice. Like reading X-rays, you need to learn how to interpret what you see. Is that fat blob a navaid, or a tanker? I use mine often even when the conditions are crystal clear, just so I can compare what is on the screen to what I see with the naked eye. It also serves as early warning of big ships (and little ones) approaching, long before I notice them by scanning the horizon un-aided.

Asbestos is best removed with a scraper with a lead based painted handle. After removal, be sure to call one of the mesothelioma attorneys about your case. Dennis C.

Stus-List RJC 1000 Radar
Thanks everyone for your comments on the JRC 1000 Radar.I think I will pass on this unit for several reasons..e.g. not even sure it works, owner doesn't want to remove the mast mount brackets (not sure why but not going to argue with him), have a feeling he is looking for half the price of a new one, and consensus is there are better radars out there. Great advice, as always, from the C&C list. Regards Bob Abbott AZURA C&C 32 - 84 Halifax, N.S.

Re: Stus-List RJC 1000 Radar
When I was looking for radar some years ago, I found confusing evaluations and advertising. So I went to New Bedford, Ma. to see what the commercial fishing boats were doing. Universally they all had Furuno. I bought Furuno.
