    HELP...Transom Swell - Express 360

    Insurance for a 330 express

    Mine is 1.3% of my agreed value. I think its reasonable, they might look at other things too. Maybe location, credit score? ? I would be interested to see how you make out with that. I remember getting a small discount for it being on the hard from Dec-Apr. and I don't trailer it.

    Deck sealent/caulk

    Tip for the forum- I pulled every hatch in cabin and on deck. I came to realize tapping is a waste of time. While it is fresh and I mean within a minute, wipe it down with a rag soaked with acetone. You should have several rags ready to go and don't mess around as said earlier it will skin...
