I knew I'd get a reply out of you!
Thanks for the info, that is what I suspected. I'm headed north in just a couple of weeks, and I'll scope out my options when I get there. I'm going to list the boat for sale anyway, but really I hope to be able to move her up there and keep her for several more years.

New England 323 folks:
All of my sailing has been in warm climates; florida, bahamas, caribbean, and the Gulf of Mexico. I live in south Mississippi, and keep my 323, which I've owned for less than a year, in the marina year-round. Now, I am faced with possibly moving quickly to the DC area. I don't want to sell the boat, but it seems the best option given the distance, shipping cost, lack of slips, and need for winterizing. I am currently shopping for a "boat sitter", that can look after my boat for a time, run the engine, check the bilge, etc, etc, until I get up there and decide for sure what is best. But, having never sailed in that part of the world, and never having to take a boat out to the water for winter, I have questions.
First, is taking a boat out necessary up there? What else can be done. Considering freezing thru hulls, sinking due to snow, and so on, are there those who do other things for prevention?
Any information would be helpful, especially from those of you up there.
Cheers
Ryan

So, there could be an issue with starting with the switch in 1 (my start battery) and then switching to 2 (my house bank)?

I just started down this path too. I bought a couple similar to those mentioned in earlier posts, but they are shorter and sit well up inside the eyeball. I'd like to find ones similar to the ones you mentioned (item ba-01 at marinebeam.com) since their website is showing that item sold out. No luck finding them on any other site, yet. Marinebeam does also have ba-9 size LEDs that I have ordered to replace other lights in the galley and head.

Ports & Hatches / Re: Deck Hatches

I'm awaiting a reply from pompanette; meanwhile, what is the thickness of the lexan for the hatches? 3/8"? I'm refurbishing the hatches and can find all the other info (thanks Ed) and parts, just not sure about thickness.

Mine is in the port lazarette next to the house batteries, along with a combiner between house bank and starter battery.
