Thanks to all who sent suggestions on this glue residue removal.
I am going to try acetone with a soft rag and hope that it evaporates so fast
that it won't bother the Awlgrip.

+1 on what Rob said.
If you charge the batteries now _and_ disconnect them form _everything_, they
should last to spring without any problem. If they are healthy, they would keep
the charge; if they are not, you have a different issue to deal with.
I used to take the batteries home and re-charg
Most important, do not use an automotive charger; use a marine charger. The
charger depends on the type of batteries you have - led acid, gel or AGM.
Some chargers will charge all three depending on the switch setting. I have
a charger mounted on my boat, and I keep it on whenever I'm in my slip, a

The mystery switch may simply be power to the masthead Windex? That shows close
haul indication if the guide bars are adjusted.

Had the boat fifteen years. I leave my batteries on the boat connected with
everything switched off. I go to the boat at least once a month to connect a
power cord that powers the charger and top them off while I check the cover and
interior and work on projects. On the hard, I keep a power cord

Has anyone tried 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner? We use it often around
the house and even to remove glue from numbers on sails but we have not tried
it on Awlgrip. Comes in regular can like acetone and in a spray can at most

Be careful. Acetone is a basic type of lacquer and while it drys quickly it
can dissolve many things. Try a small out of view location first.RonWild

There is a marine contractor at our club, who also owns a boat, and who
is very knowledgeable about proper boat maintenance and he leaves his
batteries on his boat over our winters. he just gives them a full

I have used it for st least 10 years on AwlGrip with no negative effects.
Don’t rub too hard and rinse with fresh water as soon as the residue is gone

Yes. I've used the 3M Adhesive Removal several times with good results.
Acetone is good but perhaps too good. It can soften and yellow gelcoat if
used aggressively and in large quantity. Be careful with it.
As I said in a previous reply mineral spirits is my solvent of choice for

I am wondering if anyone has changed out their galley countertops for more
modern products such as corian or other hard surface. I am not so much
concerned about the excess weight as we do mostly cruising.
We are also very diligent about store ng fear when sailing so I even question

Hi Adam,
At the risk of being too honest and taking your request for any
feedback at face value... please, please do not do such a horrible
thing as to add corian countertops to a C&C.
If you are serious about going that route then may I suggest a
Beneteau, Hunter or Catalina as a viable ca

I prepare the batteries for winter on the boat by topping up the
electrolyte, fully charge the batteries, check the specific gravity of
all 12 cells looking for 1.260 or better, clean it, and disconnect
everything from themsome say disconnect only the negative,some say
the positiveI do
I looked at corian for my Hylas. We are going with corian in the heads and
new formica for the galley. DuPont will not warrant corian for a boat.

Some of the early 90s C&Cs actually came from the factory with Corian (?) sinks
and counter tops, including my 1995 36 XL/kcb.

Hi
I saw a boat at a rendezvous a few years ago, which had galley and head
counters made of Corian. Looked great. I plan on doing the same thing when
I have some extra money. I'll send some pictures.
