    I’ve been running two Navman 5500 for some years on inside and one out and find them good , but the screnes are getting small now but navionics on phone seams to be good but small to see some times that’s why I am heading to the iPad , there is some good protected kits for using them out side but hard to see in daylight. ,

    Thanks it just looks crappy , I remember the gipsy moth masts were the originals and they just polished them and they looked brilliant , not sure if they were sanded to get an even surface

    Deck Paint?

    It is has a roughish finnish kiwi grip is applied with a textured roller , so it’s the style finnish you create with the roller , this paint has cranuals of rubber in the paint of eaves size , so just roll it on , three coats , if you need remove it just scrape away it’s very easy , some maxi race boats have it on , it leaves a good looking even finnish , and if you have that old style cork /resin finnish , just go over the top and it’s new again, the old finnish I had was only fading in color after 17 years and crc made that one but closed due to health and safety , why I don’t know , it’s just water base paint , worked for me I have a brochure and all contacts if needed
