    USCG Man Overboard Switch required on older boats without one ? As of April 1 2021. That switch is required on all federal waters. Check your STATES requirements. Might be the same by now. Electronic key FOB types are also acceptable . Lot less wiring involved.

    We also switched to NOT STUFFING the stuffing into the bird. Easier & better cooking of white and dark meat of the bird. Gravy is still from bird drippings. We cook with a big bird bag.
