Here's the intro I received by mail:

Dear Reader:

As you know, DIY Boat Owner has been improving its website -- and part
of that is the new Solutions Center, a place you can go to get your
questions answered at no cost.

Want to know what your engine exhaust can tell you? Learn to check
batteries with a hydrometer? How to add a hot water shower to your
boat for about $20? The Solution Center provides answers.

Using the feature is easy. You can type in a topic and search, or
click on one of our tags to bring up articles. Click on the "cleaning"
tag, for example, and there are 23 entries to read.

We have about 100 articles and tips up now, and we are adding new
material every day -- the goal is 500 items in coming weeks, all
available free. This newsletter will highlight some of the latest
items each week, which you can see below.
As always, we hope it helps.

Thanks,
Glen Justice, Editor
DIY Boat Owner

Moisture Meter
Moisture meters are generally considered tools for professional
surveyors, but owners looking for a non-invasive way to spot
delamination and wet core materials early can learn to use one, with a
little practice. MOREBasic Marine Wiring
Marine electrical wiring has advanced from the realm of professionals
to a mainstream practice. Nowadays, you can purchase all the required
tools and ABYC recommended wire, connections and other components from
any well-stocked marine retailer. An investment of less than $100 can
buy you basic tools, including a quality wire stripper, crimper and
