Perhaps its similar to what AutoZone sells you when you buy a new battery to prevent corrosion on the terminals?  I may pick some of that up.  Thanks.

Yep - it's the same stuff

after being retired 5 yrs. , i could not imagine not having my boat, it a true blessing.

the costs are all worth it , just make sure you use it.

and don't buy  something that's not user friendly. easy to load solo, and dependable .

The loading solo thing is important. As long as you have a ramp you can do it at. I recently learned the very hard way. River ramps aren't as slippery as lake ramps. I went down hard with no 0ne around, 2 months later I'm still in a brace.

It took awhile but I figured out how to load mine alone.

It makes going out fishing more of a spontaneous thing than a planned. thing.

Yep retired 7 yrs, everyone I know isn't.

If you own one and plan to keep it, it's a lot cheaper to maintain it than it is not to.
