Thanks for your input guys. I don't think this is the right skimmer for me. I will be worrying far too much about it. It is extremely touchy, and not very user friendly. I really liked using the Remora.

I am going to post it up for sale/trade here I think. Too much to risk when it's being used as HOB it sounds like.
