[C320-list] Autohelm

[Pat Moriarty]

Thanks Mark

I will try them out while sailing this weekend. It will be a little cooler 
than we have had for months but we will just make do with 70F. How do you 
winterize a boat in Texas?...............turn the fridge up so the beer 
doesn't freeze.
Austin, Texas
