Two part question:
First, some detail:
Question 1: Why am I constantly taunted with a dirty transom after only a few hours of runnning?
Question 2: If a perfectly clean exhaust isn't in my future, how can I keep the transom clean? I read that a formica cleaning product, "Gel-Glos" when applied like paste wax to the transom works, will try in 2012. Any other good ideas out there?
Thanks!
