I'm assuming this first picture is telling me that my autohelm depth and speed sensor is now just a depth sensor. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Is there any way to fix this without buying a hole new setup?
Also this next pic is the bottom paint chipping off. Under the paint is a thin darker layer of something, then the white hull. Anybody know what the dark layer is ?
I obviously have to repaint the hull b4 i splash it, but who here thinks i shoud sand it all down and put a barrier coat on her ? Or should i just chip as much of this paint off sand a little, then paint back over it?
I have been doing a lot of reading and i can't decide if i should barrier coat it or not. It would be nice to know that i won't have to worry about it again for a long time... But is it really necessary? I live in upstate new york and will be sailing around Seneca lake.. I might be taking it down to florda for the winter. I'm just wondering if bc of this i should barrier coat it, or if that really matters? if I'm not having a problem with moisture, should i just leave it be and paint it like always?
thanks again
