Get any color you would like, it's your boat and in the water and won't seen much.  There are some who believe the rudder should be white/light in color.

One of the nice things about Christmas is things can be whatever you want them to be.  It's a magical time of year.

Check at WM, I bought a small reapir pack there several years back that also included some various types of small filler containers.

Dan, I made it using a stainless single fender holder and put insulating foam on it to cushion the tank.  My wife made the cover out of Sunbrella.  It was very simple to do.

So how does it sleep?  It looks like it should all work out very well.

Main Message Board / Re: Engine Hour Meter Problem
December 10, 2008, 05:12:43 PM
There are two basic methods for wiring an hour meter in an electrical circuit. The most common is to wire the positive side of the meter to the "run" or "on" terminal of the ignition switch. The disadvantage to this installation is that the meter will run anytime the switch is in the "on" position, even if the engine is not running.

The preferred method is to wire the hour meter through a normally-open engine oil pressure switch. When the engine starts and the oil pressure reaches the set point of the switch, the contacts will close turning on the hour meter. This method gives a true indication of engine run time.
