If you haven't used bio-diesel before, have a couple of extra fuel filters
handy as it really cleans out your tank and lines.

To reduce the soot on the stern, use B20 Biodiesel (20%). Or mix it
yourself up to 30%. Smells better too ...

lets see if I can answer a few questions, ah no, how deep is the scratch,
west marine has a nice setup for charging your batteries while hooked to
shore power. As for the scratch did it go into the cloth this is
important since if it did you my want to replace the damaged cloth if not
clean the area with sandpaper you can start by cleaning with acetone
first if you want make sure the area to be repaired has no dirt, moisture
or oil see if you can find gelcoat that will match the boats you can also
create the color with pigment. mask and or cover any area that you do not
want gel coat this will save when it comes time to sand. sand the area to
match and polish. If it is deeper you need to clean out all damaged
fiberglass feather back any deep areas so there is an area for the glass
to adhere to. once again mask of any area you do not want to get glass
on. after the damage is built up to just below the gel coat sand to form
then apply gel coat.
here is I link to help with the charger question

Hi all, Now that the boat is asleep on her cradle, Its time for me
to ask some questions:
Has any one ever installed a power anchor and rode on their 27? What
is the best way to repair a deep scratch in the hull?
How do you keep the transom clean of the black diesel exhaust?
(beside scrubbing it every week)
I would like to install a shore power battery charging system. Any
suggestions on what make/model and where and how to install it?
