    Hatch repair

    Thank you. I have the gel coat for that year. How can I tint it to match the color of the boat (slightly faded). Also, is there something I can use to spray the gel coat on to get a smooth finish?

    Underwater lights

    I would like to put some LEDs on the back of my Advance 257 below the water line, but the thought of drilling holes in my transom makes me very nervous. Is there a way to attach lights without drilling? Thanks.

    Off shore safety

    The rapid weather change is an excellent point. What type of hardware and service are needed to have good weather radar by satelite? What I found was very expensive.

    fresh water pump

    I installed a new fresh water pump on my 2003 Gulfstream and it is not working. The pump is running (I can hear and feel it) and there is water in the tank, but nothing comes out the sprayer.
