  Life lesson: ablative paint doesn't wash off your skin easily.  If, however, you decide to enjoy some KFC after your ablative paint session, your hands will be clean in no time!

  @YYZRC - hilarious.
  
  Doesn't matter what you get stuck on your hands....bondo, paint, primer, caulking - it all comes off once you eat KFC.
  
  Unfortunately you are ingesting it. lol.

  Wait, which is the unfortunate part? Ingesting the ablative or the “chicken”?!

  Installed a grab bar at the helm today.
  
  In rougher seas instead of just holding onto the wheel, I can now widen my stance and have one hand on the wheel and one on the bar to keep more stable.
  
  Super easy: Just pulled the MFD, found a good flat spot, drilled and feathered the holes, put in oversized washers for backing, and lots of 3M clear marine silicone caulk...

  Tony, that bar looks great and I'm sure will get used more than you might think.

  I agree, it looks great and will come in use. I’ve thought about adding a grab handle under the arch to help with getting down from the bow.

  Thanks all - I've been wanting to do this for a couple of seasons, just finally got the cahonies to drill into the helm without screwing it up, and it took all of about 15 minutes. Should have done it sooner.

  I made up some templates out of transparent vinyl so that I could center the plates perfectly over the hardtop access holes. You know, in case @aero3113 stops in for an inspection.

  Actually didn’t discuss much, was too busy doing bottom paint and buffing and didn’t need another task!
