Can one raise or lower this unit under power to affect the trim of the boat. I know this sounds stupid, but i have never used one of these units, and would like a brief explain , if it's both. [Link]

Open Question: what paint to use on a fibreglass dinghy?
Hi, I just bought a very cheap & old fibreglass sailing dinghy which needed small repairs to the hull. I've carried out the repairs using fastglas matting & now I'd like to give it a coat of paint. When I look for advice on the net, some people say I should use expensive marine paints,(more than the value of the boat!), & others say just a couple of coats of thinned down dulux weathershield will do the job. The hull is quite flexible & it's double skinned so if you were to stand at any point your load would be well spread around the boat. What do you think I should paint it with? Thanks in advance for any answers. Phil [Link]
