    208 rear curtain vs. cockpit cover for moored boat

    I pulled it as tight as I could and used a white pencil to mark where the snaps go. I did one snap at a time and with that one snapped I marked the spot for the next one. I would pull it as tight as you can because it tends to stretch some over time and wet weather.

    polaroid glasses and reading instruments

    I have Costa Del Mar with the grey lens and do not have a problem reading LCD screens unless I turn my head sideways so that the glasses are vertical and not horizontal. I think this is the case with any polarized sunglasses. 8)

    E-15 - Just say no!

    Just sent the e-mail. Very easy to do and only takes a minute. I've had enough problems in small motors and outboards with E-10, I can't imagine how bad E-15 is going to be.

    I also contacted GW Customer Service for the same information on my 208 and they were quick to respond and told me exactly what I needed to know. I ordered a new sending unit form WEMAUSA and couldn't be happier. :D
