Perfect timing Dennis. ;-) That problem was “solved” by the guys that rebuilt my dock last winter. Solution: cut everything attached to the old dock and pitch it. Wiring, fixtures, water line…
Tide is falling right now and low tide it s 10:01. Some coffee and I’m off to bump around underneath the dock. Electrical conduit and wiring at moment, water line later. New dock. <https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipNtdH2ICJPhQQ-2h_PR-Ox4AfnEtP4VJpM-UAIb> Regards, Dave Godwin 1982 C&C 37 - Ronin Reedville - Chesapeake Bay Ronin’s Overdue Refit <http://roninrebuild.blogspot.com/> > On Jul 7, 2020, at 10:48 PM, Dennis C. via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> > wrote: > > Meant to post this last week. > > I was working on a friend's boat and needed some weights to hold something in > place until an adhesive cured.
