Re: Stus-List removing sea shells from an Airmar speed sensor
I keep a medium bristle tooth brush in the trunk near the speed transducer. When it needs cleaned I just scrub it. You could also just preemptively remove the transducer at the end of every use.

Re: Stus-List CnC-List Digest, Vol 153, Issue 151
I use my knife to scrape them off my Raymarine sensor. Not sure if it’s a similar material, but it doesn’t seem to harm it. I really try to replace the sensor with the plug, unless my boat is going I be in use regularly. I also spray on Petit Transducer paint, which I also use on my prop, after getting it down to pure metal. Works good on both.

Re: Stus-List Filling diesel tank
I stopped worrying about topping off years go. Never a problem. And a 20 gal tank does not generate much moisture. >From my Android From: CnC-List on behalf of David Knecht via CnC-List Sent: Saturday, October 27, 2018 4:16:07 PM To: CnC CnC discussion list Cc: David Knecht Subject: Re: Stus-List Filling diesel tank Hi Marek- Thanks for reminding me that I read a report that tested the urban myth of water accumulation in an empty tank directly and found no water accumulation in the tank over the winter. The calculations appear to agree. I will still have to top up the tank at some point, but I agree there is no need to do it now and the storing "old fuel” in the tank argument is very persuasive. My first day on the boat in spring is a long motor down the CT River, so I will plan to top up before that trip.
