Re: oxidized finish restoration

I've had the same annual wax and polish exercise each year, but this year I went the route of the New Glass 2. It's only been a few months, but I'm happy with the results. You'll find a lot of information in past posts from others that have used it on their Mac's.

I also live on a US/Canadian border lake (Rainy Lake) and sail freely between US ana CA. Its a very simple process to aquire the CA remote crossing permit for the year that allows you and listed family members to enter into Canada at will.

Re: Transducer advice

I have a 98X and I placed my transducer below the berth just aft of the head close to the ballast tank. It is secured with plumbers putty and works very well even with a good heel. Just need to be sure you work out any air pockets in the putty between the transducer and the hull.
