I'm a Rob-bot, does that count?

thanks for the reply... it did ok apart from the rust along the bottom... now being treated, so i need to pop a coating on here but undecided on what.....

Hello Hello Hello Hello..... is anyone there there there.... I'm thinking people don't like WaxOyl? maybe i need to remove all traces of Bow Thruster from the title?

Would WaxOyl be a more suitable cover in this area as its got what looks like a coating already? thanks!

I'd use as much free stuff as i can find....

Thanks to all the encouragement I've now started on sorting the chamber... BowThruster and all electrics now removed and its all sitting with a coat of Vactan. The boat is still afloat! The mounted board and isolator switch/fuse holder were all rusty and practically falling apart so its turning into a 'refresh' i think they call it! Theres an old disused fuse holder which had melted and an old BowThruster control panel, no longer used/needed - why dont people remove stuff when its defunct? I have a few questions....... The chamber seems to have something like an old Waxoyl coating on it - I wasnt intending to use this, but now thinking would this be better than Jotmastic 90 as it may cover over better? The Isolator switch needs replacing and i thought about something like this: Marine Battery Isolation Switch 300A - IP68 | 12 Volt Planet as the fuse is 250A I'm assuming this would be fine - do you need to take more into account with BowThruster isolators - max draw etc? cranking is 1000a so assuming thats ok..... thanks, as ever - here are some pics. Seems to be lots of room down there, such a shame you cant really access it when the battery/BT are in - goes underneath the gas locker. Forgot to add - discovered my radio was wired to my BT battery and was using the negative for the battery charge (the correct negative was in there but cut!).... had boat 3 years and still finding out stuff!

You'll wake up one morning and it will be shiny red!

I try not to use ours if i can and I'm convinced im not as good as i should be because i have and use one.
