I line the anchor locker floor with Dri-Dek. http://www.dri-dek.com/?gclid=CPWNvJ_v3IwCFSnKggodLEAsdQ
I figure it does three things for me. It lets the line dry out as rain runs under it. It keeps that inevitable piece of trash or line away from clogging the drain. It makes cute harmless ice cubes when it rains and then freezes.

Let me know how much you want for it. I actually need covers for all my instruments (incl. compass) now since last season all reached the end of their purposeful life and 'disintegrated'.

The depth sounder (SL172) is, I'm afraid, dead. I opened it up and there was that smell of charred electronics and some burnt parts on the circuit board. Now I need a depth sounder. The replacement unit from Signet is over $400 (without the sender). That seems expensive to me, given that a sounder plus transducer can be bought for less than half of that. It's just that I have that big (4 inch?) hole in the bulkhead to deal with. Has anyone come up with a good (and inexpensive) solution to a replacement unit? Are transducers interchangeable, or do I need to find one that fits the same through-hull hole? If I need a new transducer, can that be changed in the water (without too much drama)? What other questions do I need answered? (Left myself wide open there, didn't I?) Tony Whipple C27 'Slackers Cove' #6595 Atlantic Beach, NC ------ Anthony Whipple [EMAIL PROTECTED]
