Jim et al,

I'm impressed. I don't keep my boat in the water for long, but will
certainly look into this device if I ever do. Thanks for making us
aware of it.

BTW Jim, I didn't mean to offend you or anyone, but you do sometimes
"tongue in cheek" us non technical types, don't you? And I had
remembered a thread on this subject before. I'll NEVER question you
again. RIGHT!

Best,

Ted
