Hi Ed, The fudge in my 1994 C 37/40+ draws no more than 5 to 7 amps.  It's entirely possible that I missed your prior posts for background, but please feel free to contact me off list if I can provide insights. Bruce Whitmore 847.404.5092 Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

Re: Stus-List Removing companionway slider plexiglass, C 37/40+

Keep in mind the original color may have faded due to I've.  Mine went from original bronze to almost a blueish due to the sun. I went with replacement bronze, but you may want to go to the supplier and look at various samples. Bruce Whitmore  Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

Another equivalent version of Teflon grease can be easily found at pool supply stores.  I have become a big fan of the stuff. Just my $.02 worth.. Bruce Whitmore Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone Original message From: ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List

Re: Stus-List where to begin.

Also pull & check the wires themselves.  We had ground wires corrode so badly they wouldn't carry voltage, much less serious amps. Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone Original message From: Frederick G Street via CnC-List Date: 9/22/17 3:06

Yes, absolutely IMHO.  Bed-it brand,  available from a few places, but certainly Maine Sail. Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone Original message From: David via CnC-List Date: 9/21/17 10:42 AM (GMT-05:00) To: CNC CNC
