For mil spec applications we used a special solution containing a fungicide - sometimes called tropicalization. I'm not sure this is something I would attempt to do myself. Conformal coatin an electronic device after it has been built requires a lot of dis-assembly.

We used canvas back then but today you can get white shrink wrap plastic, or simply use 10 mil grade construction grade poly sheeting to create a green house effect. Agreed this is not convenient if you plan to take the boat out for occasional winter cruises. In which case, you should be looking for a floating boat house for winter wet storage.

ing groups, but the push toward high end runs rampant in the discussions here. REPLY Rick, I disagree with this last point. I see your post on lv-ab list and notice the differnce in attitude exhibited on the two lists. I suspect the reason for such differences has more to do with motivation. Many sailors are looking for the lowest cost way of escaping the rat race ashore. Quite ofen they are very anti materialistic and espouse a minimalist lifestyle. Trawlerfolk by contrast are more likely to be looking for an extension of their previous lifestyle ashore byt now they are retired they want to spend full time what they could only do on week-ends before. Trawler people are for the most part not recluses who want to escape from the world or ardent alternative lifestyle proponents. They are more often retired people who cashed in the house mortgage for a boat mortgage. There are enough people on TWL who are not rich, retired or living aboard full time on a gold plater to disprove your contention. Myself included. Cheers Arild
