    Storage question

    I simply make sure the battery is fully charged and unhook the ground. Leave it in the boat and let it be. In spring hookup, top off charge and go boating. Weather get's to -40 at times. 6-7 years the battery is in need of replacement.

    Air Don't Freeze Winterization

    Well, we do run the non toxic anti freeze through at our marina. Not only to make sure the motor is safe, but also to protect ourselves from buying the customer a new motor/heat exchanger, or other parts if something get's missed. My stuff at home get's nothing but drained.

    Sloppy Pivot hole in swing keel Hunter 23.5

    New Porta-Bote boat with crack

    Who shipped it? The shipper should be responsible for damaged goods, and it should not have been accepted from them. We do that, it gets shipped back to the business and a new one arrives packaged better and good.

    what are these two holes in bilge area?

    Looks like someone drilled those holes. Is there a locker in front of that area, or are they on the side? What ever it is, it's not good. There is wood under that fiberglass wich is now wet and rotting. I'd advise to fix the float switch so it keeps it pumped out.
