[C320-list] GFO Packing

[Robert E. Sloat]

I asume you can order GFO from the US link below:
http://www.e-marine-inc.com/products/gfopacking/packing.html

They list Australia as a country they ship to when you get to their on-line 
order page.  I installed GFO in my hull 894 a few years ago and then it was 
the best $15 US dollar investment made in the boat.
