[C320-list] Marleon Seacocks

[Jeff Hare]

LOL!  I know Scott, you've had great luck with that.  Fat chance I'd be
doing that unless I was actively sinking in the middle of the Atlantic. When
it only costs me $90 for a short haul and relaunch in my marina as long as
I'm ready within 12hrs to catch the next tide and they don't always charge
me.

I'm kidding about the sinking in the Atlantic part, it's a good option to
have in the toolbox for sure.  

Cheers!

With a SeaBung you can do that replacement even in the water.
