I will make some general >comments, but anyone is allowed to disagree. That was a really good lesson. That's a keeper in my book. Thanks muchly and incidentally I lied in my earlier description of my all foam chesterfield: the individual slabs are 8" thick, so that two folded up made a comfortable height seat.

Only outside teak I got is grab-rails, companion way and some decorative cockpit trim. Inside, where teak abounds, I use Boiled Linseed Oil like my father and my fathers father have always used on rare woods. Outside, after having used up my first can of Cetol years ago, I now use only Armada, mostly because it's considerably cheaper. George

You need to be very careful about this. Many inverter/chargers are also automatic 110V switches as well.

I am very interested because I have two fireplaces in the house, and a fireplace/stove in the boat. Cost of a chimney sweep is $80 compared to $20 for one of those logs. I tried one last year in the house fireplace but have no idea whether it did any good or not.

I know it seems like a weird conflict, but it exists and it is not possible to resolve. In my case, I got another ethernet card and ran a separate network for the radar.
