But how much mercury are we talking about?

Is it barrels full? Or just in the switches / batterys etc.

Seems to me if its just a few tilt switches and such yea best thing to do would be to leave it alone.

But if its like 20 or more gallons then there is a cause for concearn.

On an interesting footnote ... Did you know that the alchemial make up of sea water is virtually the same throughout the globe? A seawater sample taken in the gulf stream will have the same amount of gold, lead, mercury, arsinic, etc. as a sample taken in the bearing straights.
