I didn’t respond because the original inquiry referred to a specific model number Blue Sea panel, with which I have no familiarity. Re: Blue Sea Systems generally, about 15-20 years ago I changed the fuse panel to Blue Sea circuit breakers on my ’78 C 34. I wanted two Blue Sea panels to fit

I installed a shore power system on my boat 10 years ago Used a Blue Seas panel and took a lot of advice from Calder's and Marine how to. I didn't take any pics of the project, but it was one of the easier things that I have done... If my memory serves me correctly, I used separate bus bars

I upgraded my AC power selector switch to 4 ways to add inverter with Blue Sea switch many years ago. Spendy but it has worked well. Get Outlook for Android From: Della Barba, Joe via CnC-List Sent: Wednesday, April 19, 2023 11:05:44 AM

I am in the same position, but I can’t blame it on a hurricane (my stupidity instead). Had the topsides painted in 2021 with Awlcraft 2000 and it looked great. Last mark of the last race of the season in 2021 I was single-handing and put the boat on autopilot to take the whisker pole down at

I believe Awk Craft 2000 can only be sprayed. It is not to be brushed or rolled on. Mine has 3 coats of Awk Craft clear gloss which helps protect the paint and the surface and is easier to buff out scratches unless they go to the primer then you are into repair and touching up with a spray

Mike, It's Awlcraft 2000. Chosen for exactly the reason you stated. The paint got scuffed during Hurricane Ida in 2021. I can see the primer so it can't be buffed out. Here's a link to a picture of the scuffs: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FQt41lVzJan53DjasgmSXMALKRj7IwaJ/view?usp=sharing

Hi Denis You referred to Topsides touchup. What paint do you use that can be touched up? Persistence had Awlgrip which eventually had many small scratches and other experiences. It was repainted over the winter using Awl Craft since Awlcraft can be repaired. We will see how that goes

I just found out about this SV -seeker a couple weeks ago while visiting a friend in punta Gorda. It was a hot afternoon, so he started showing me YouTube's of it. Then, the whole Sailing Anarchy thread, which goes back years. This is a classic tale about a fellow who doesn't know what he doesn't
