[C320-list] Cleaning engine cover

[Robert Seastream]

I got the $150 'medium' size kit which came with 18 tiles.  I used 14 
tiles.
I'm not in the water yet, Great Bay Marine has me scheduled for launch 
May 15 th.  Just as well; I've got davits to install yet, and am 
halfway through installing (I need a rasp to enlarge the hole) the Moen 
faucet upgrade.  I've already got my stereo installed.  I want to 
locate the GPS data cable from my chartplotter and interface it with my 
VHF if time permits.  I hope the wires involved would be in a common 
bundle that includes power, etc., for the plotter.  I'll have my dinghy 
in the water May first.
