    Standard auxiliary power outlet vs. USB charging outlet

    I have a 95 adventure that does not have an auxiliary charging outlet. My primary navigation will be from an iPad mini with navionics. Should I install a typical 12v auxiliary power outlet (and use a USB adapter when charging devices) or simply go straight for the USB outlet? Does it make a...

    You bring up a great point. I have gone back and forth thinking the same thing.

    Best boat you never owned?

    Pursuit OS 355. Or if I was to dream bigger, I would go with a big ole Viking battle wagon.

    Thank You Seasick. I appreciate your advice. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I do plan on taking my time, and hope, when mistakes are made, they will be at slow speeds. I will have so many more questions to ask once this purchase is official.

    I am brand new here, and pending next weeks sea trial, will be the proud owner of a 1995 Adventure 208. This will be my first time owning a boat and am interested in any advice or wisdom. I am very much interested in joining a group of like-minded people to share information, reviews and...
