    What is the correct way to wire this?

    A previous owner of my boat had a silly stereo system installed. One if the things I don't like is how the installer ran multiple connections to the positive terminal of one of my batteries. Would something like this work? https://a.co/d/3mJWeQz Thanks! Shaps

    Canadian wildfire smoke staining gelcoat?

    I haven't been down to the boat since the smoke got bad, but there is a post on a local FBook chat that said whatever was in the smoke is leaving a residue that is staining gelcoat. I know there is definitely film of some sort on my car that won't just rinse off, so i can see some validity to...
