See... another good reason to use ice cubes. Aside from being free, and easy to make, they are also non-toxic ... and friendly to the environment.
Go green .... use ice cubes as ballast.

Ice cubes are best. You can bolt them, glue them, or tape them to the firewall or cowl. Better than steel, because they are non-magnetic.
Best of all, they are free ... you can make them yourself!
