Hi Dan, Others have commented that you should be fine with what you've got plus, perhaps, some sheet gasket material. Under your #3 though - tricks, traps or learnings - I'd add to be sure to replace

i am not in this situation (yet) but still curious. Has anyone ever taken their fuel level down to the beginning of the red area on the gauge and measured actual amount in the tank using the

Thanks for the replies Eric and Bill. I was able to find some coolant in a hardware store just an hour before the closed the stores in Les Saintes and notified all of the boats on the moorings that
