Re: Stus-List Diving your own boat
Chuck, I've used CSC for a number of years now. Initially, it worked great, but the last two paint jobs have given me very poor results. I think they've changed the formula. Anecdotally, my diver recommends a Petit product, can't remember which, but I'll find out before my next haulout, and real experience, my brother has had excellent results from the same paint, same location. When I clean the bottom, every couple of years, I attach a 3M Scotchbrite pad to a pair of brown jersey work gloves with some silicon adhesive, put the bow on a sandbar and scrub the bottom. I can do 90% of the hull while standing on the bar. I may have to break down and get a mask and snorkel, but I can get it done in 45 minutes with just a pair of fins. Some day, if you're in Black Hole Creek, I'll show you the sandbars with a sharp drop. My wife usually stands in ankle deep water holding the bow while I swim. I'm sorry we didn't hook up this year but we were pretty busy with my daughter's wedding in OCNJ. Looking forward to next spring already. I was down at the club yesterday replacing moorings and was tempted to hoist the sails, but I just winterized the engine last week!

Kevin, I had the same problem with my newer EV100 this summer. The screw that the lever pivots on was loose. Tightened it up and all was ok.

Hi Ed, Thanks for the tip. I asked my wife to check price and reviews, we are considering it. One problem I see is we sometimes can't find our cell phones. Pray for us.

I'm 60 and near sighted. But I have to take my "distance only" glasses off to see close up. This works great for computer work, or print reading. I work as an HVAC Mechanic at a school and often loose the glasses at the end of the day. I usually find them above the ceiling tile or on a roll of prints. Today I hooked them in the neck of my uniform shirt, (no pocket) and they fell down inside the shirt to my waist.

Re: Stus-List Diving your own boat
I little water sports trick I picked up is to squirt some pleasant smelling shampoo in the wedsuit when I put it on. Boots and gloves too. You and the suit won't smell like rotting ass when you take it off and you don't need to bother spending a lot of time rinsing or washing the suit.
