      DON'T CUT THE CABLE! The installation instructions for the DS 500X (see page 34) and for most other fishfinders prohibit cutting the cable attached to a multi function transducer (sonar, temperature and boat speed sensors). A few words of explanation of the prohibition may be useful.

How to clean teak decks

  • Maintenance
  • NOVEMBER 2004
    • The care of teak decks seems to be a topic of debate in any boat yard. Everyone has a system that���s been tweaked over the years which they feel is the only way to clean teak decks. The truth is there are a host of cleaners that can do a good job if applied properly. I do not, however, recommend applying any sort of coating or oil to your decks. Left natural, teak is one of the best nonskids available. Oil will create a slicker surface and trap dirt. So, our concern is how to keep natural decks clean.
