Hi Folks,
My wife Pat and I recently purchased a 2003 22' C-Dory. Before I put the boat away for winter storage, I would like to do some work on the boat. The boat had a bit of mildew in the cabin and cockpit area. We've taken care of the cabin, but to properly address the mildew in the cockpit, I'll need to pull the gas tanks and batteries. I'm wondering if there are any issues with pulling the gas tanks that I should be aware of?
While I'm asking questions-I have purchased a replacement for my battery selector switch. The current switch has a problem with being very difficult to turn. The area where the switch is mounted seems very prone to getting wet. I suppose I can seal the leads in some manner, but I'm wondering if any of you have relocated the battery selector switch to another location to keep it drier? By the way-one of the projects I will address this winter is wiring the boat for shore power, my boat does not have shore power.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Jack
