Thank you Jordan, your tips are helpful. I'm currently building my sm rig and planning to get use to its bouyancy control and get rid of big bugs in harness so when i go for sm training i can concentrate more on trim details and tactics. I also want to be prepared to gear parts replacements that is why i'm asking questions here.

Happy holidays to you and your family there! Keep yourself warm
