Oh...oh... I think I have barnicles and other critters clogging my galley (never used, kept seacock closed) thru hull. Tried to winterize...poured about 6oz pink stuff down....only a bit when down, rest pooled in sink. Think they were painted in spring. Will check at haul out in a week or so and do the screwdriver scrap I guess...any suggestions??? Thank you

Lola,
Watch out for those picture frames.
Anything else that is fragile will brake in a boat.
Have fun. We like to hear that you are having fun sailing, not only maintaining the boat.
