Really ??? That would be great, so its like a repellant? The only way they got in was from either side of the engine, easy to use it as a ladder. Maybe I only need to put mothballs in the splash well to gaurd the entrance. I think I will stretch some netting to cover the open spaces next to the power. and put mothballs in there too.
Is that a trick others have used? It won't attract other creatures will it? I know I won't have a moth problem !!!

Gonna hit the marine supply later today and see if I can get all the replacement parts. They never touched the fuel line or main electrical to the engine, so I can still run her and get her in the slip.

I hosed her down for 1/2 hour, I hope it rains heavy in the next two days to sanitize her (acid rain is GOOD)...
Then I can wash again, buff and wax, finish the repairs, touch up the bottom paint and I'm good to go.

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.
