- Replaced the portside slotted flathead machine screws (1" x 1/4" silicon bronze) with a Philips headed screw from WestMarine. The slot was damaged enough that I a bit of difficulty removing the screw. Would have preferred a slotted head, but it was not available at WestMarine.
- Applied first coat of Trinidad XSR
. Used half a gallon of paint. Applied the small amount of extra to the bow on both sides. (see photos below.)
