After trying several teak oil products my favorite has become Penofin Marine Oil. It looks great, does not darken in sunlight, has UV protection, and lasts.

When I did it for myself and customers - I sanded 'wet' with oil - wear gloves if there is Tung oil in the mix. If done well - my favorite finish at home and on the water pure tung oil - no linseed. Nowadays I have removed almost all exterior wood trim and have UV resistant HDPE in place (except the tiller) Why do all the 'pretty finishes' take so much work?

M23 Dhana on Lake Chelan
by Gerald Wyatt 14 Jul '17

14 Jul '17

Hi All, I posted some neat pictures from a four day trip on Lake Chelan on the MSOG Photo Site. If you live in the Pacific Northwest and like isolated quiet locations, you might want to explore Chelan on your Montgomery..... Let me know if you would like information on the lake. A Montgomery 23 is perfect for extended cruising on this lake. https://msogphotosite.com/Scripts/StoryTechnical/storytechnicaldetail.php?i… Gerry

I have the boat in the water for the summer. Wondering about corrosion to rudder fitting, anything associated with the Keel or centerboard, and anything else that does not occur to me. It's in salt water, I do keep the OB tilted out of the water.What do you recommend? Any specific products or methods?Thanks,Tyler H.SeranitaM17 #232

Ah, the blessing of being on the dry side of the hill! On Jul 12, 2017 11:16, "Gerald Wyatt" <wyattgs(a)gmail.com> wrote: Hi Mark, Not bad at all. I didn't use mosquito nets or bug spray and only came away with a few bites. It is likely the bites came during hikes. With Chelan being on the east side of the cascades there is less rain then on the west side and much less bugs.

Very nice. I'll have to put it on my list of possible cruising destinations. How were the mosquitoes and noseeums?
