  1. Great news. There is now a remover made for 5200 or any polyurethane based sealants that will break the bond. It's called debond and can be purchased at merrittsupply.com. You spray it on the outside edge and let it work for 15 to 20 minutes and get a putty knife under it. It will take a few applications to get the part all the way off but I know of people who have used this to remove outboard motor brackets from there transom with no damage. Give it a try it really works.

  2. Inox has some great products. The battery additive doubled the life of a charge on my golf cart. I added it to the batteries on my boat and can definately tell it has more kick when starting the motors. I got mine online at merrittsupply.com. I highly recommend this product.

  3. I help run the parade. We had 41 boats this year down from 50 last year. They compete for over $8000 in prizes. We pick up for Toys for Tots from the spectator boats during the parade. Last year we collected 19,000 toys by boat and this year we know it is more but do not have the final count yet! If anyone would like to make any suggestions how we can get more entries in the parade I am open to comments. If you want to have a great night on the water in your boat join us next year and see over 100,000 spectators that come out to see us.

  4. Just so everyone knows this zone had areas of idle speed, slow speed, and 25mph to 30 mph depending on the time of the year. "manatee Season" It is now slow speed for the entire streach which slows speed in some areas and increases speed in others. Marine Industries Association of Palm Beach County negotiatied this with FMC who origionally requested this entire area be changed to idle speed! Test runs at old posted speeds and at the new posted speeds show that the commute will take almost the exact same time after the change. Please be aware that you are responsible for your wake at all times and idle speed could still be necessary at boat ramps, marinas, and private docks when boating activity is present in this area.

  5. Perry out of Riviera Beach often tests unmanned drones that only have exhaust and air pickups above the water.I was fishing off Palm Beach one morning and saw this bearing down on me at 15 to 20 knots.It was a bit intimidating as it passed within 500 feet of me. It is usually accompanied by a larger support vessel offsohre and Sea Tow boats closer to the actual device. If what you saw completely submerged it was not the same thing.

  6. Wax makes cleaning a lot easier, and there are non-skid waxes out there. But some parts of the nonskid probably should be left untreated.

    I've found that the easiest way to clean nonskid is with a bristle brush and almost any good household cleaner, and if the brush isn't too stiff it works well as a polisher for rhw waxing phase too. The bristles will get down in the diamond pattern much better than a sponge or rag.

    I don't wax mine either but there is a product called Woody Wax that has been developed to work on non-skid
