    quick tip from a fellow boat mangler... er builder. if you cant find small odd bits of marine ply you can use plastic cutting boards from walmart. they come in a variety of thicknesses and are absolutely waterproof. just be sure to give them a couple of layers of glass.

    There's a couple of things you can try to remove the discolouration on the wall panels. Firstly, any varnish or other coating will have to come off. Then, you could try an oxalic acid solution to remove the stains. You can buy ready-to-use products for use on wood. The other treatment that might work is a "mold and fungas" remover for wood. There may be a fungal element to that stain, although it's more likely to be organic matter suspended in the water that has been absorbed into the wood grain. Oxalic acid should shift that. Give it a go in an inconspicuous spot as a test. I've had good results with both treatments in the past. Hello from Scotland!

    Hi Chris the reason the round patches were on the mirror is because the mirror and the adhesive had a reaction. It happens if the wrong adhesive is used it eats the mirror from the back. I’d use a mirror glue of low module silicone to glue it if you want it to last. Good job the boat stuff is super interesting there is a lot of cool aspects to deal with with goii out d solutions.

    My old boat was out on the mooring and I noticed the back end sitting kinda low, so I rowed out and realized it was taking on water pretty quick. I got the pump going and pumped it out and floated it but the engines were unfortunately submerged. Well, they worked a couple of days later, for a bout a week, then that boat was the most trouble I've ever seen. It essentially needed a full re-wire of the engine and body harnessses, computers, starters, alternators, etc.
    Good luck lol

    Congratulations 👏 🎊 💐 🥳
    I drive by the marina and always make it a point to spot your yacht.
