Plywood Stiffener
Has anyone replaced the plywood stiffener on the lazarette hatches. I have a couple pieces of teak that I could epoxy in their place but hate to remove the hatches to do it. The plywood is about gone

Re: Battery Size
Hi Mark Was just going to post - I have 24's as well. Curious why you leave the batteries on board over winter (do you store in the water?). "Up North" I take my batteries out and trickle charge them.
