    navionics vision+ us south

    I gave up WM was nice enough to take it back and offered another card to replace. I declined and took the money. My concern is the card slot does not hold a card 99% of time. I have also lost my previous subscription of Navionics charts and am now using the blue charts which come with the...

    navionics vision+ us south

    First thanks for the help. Yes I purchased the vus006r. Is it the correct one of the 4 I have no idea and most likely WM will not either. That said things may be a problem on the hardware side. First my Garmin has lost the Navionics charts that I bought after I purchased the plotter. That...

    navionics vision+ us south

    I will try to clarify. Had Navionics + subscription which expired in 2023. Never renewed the subscription as charts were fine for me. The other dat went fishing with a buddy that had the Navionics+ Vision and was impressed with the relief shading for bottom fishing. So go to WM as I had a...

    navionics vision+ us south

    So I paid 149 for the card in a box. When I go to my subscriptions they want another 149 to renew. What's up with that. I thought buying the card would be the subscription.

    Groco pump -simple macerator retrofit- 265 Express

    My boat is a 92 and in tank macerator and sensors did not work. I think it was 800$ for a new pump. Pulled the pump and put a small bilge pump in its place. Used a small section of pcv and adapters to original hose. Switched the in tank pump 12v supply at the cabin bulkhead panel. It is a...

    Dometic optimus all electric steering

    Interesting project. I have the mechanical hydraulic steering and mechanical throttle on my Zukes 250's. Do have a Raymarine EV 150 AP which Iike. Curious what cost and installation will be like. I think the EV 150 will tie in if wanted to.

    Sea star hydraulic hose replacement

    We replaced the copper tube in my boat after a leak. Used premade hoses which were to long and now have a coil of hose in the bilge. If I were to do it again I would use steering hose with no fittings and after pulling and getting length right put on Parker field replaceable fittings, like the...

    What have you done to your Grady lately?

    So after a few years of resisting I put a cooler/fish box in the cockpit. The 280 Marlin does not have a fish box and if you have live bait in the livewell there is no place to put fish. The starboard base is bolted to the fighting chair mounting plate and the plano box holder was made from...

    Battery warning

    Back when it was a starting battery and a Humingbird flasher who cared. If need be you could start with the pull rope and get home. Today with auto pilot pumps, windlass, bow thrusters, etc... if I see 11.5v I am looking for a problem before it gets out of hand.

    Battery warning

    After a somewhat similar situation with auto pilot pump draining house bank secondary to aux wires on OX66 not charging. I put a dedicated voltmeter on each start batt and house bank. This lets you know where you are more reliably and tells you if you are charging while running.

    Battery Charger

    Not quite on subject, but close. We have a 48v golf cart which has a string of 6 8v batteries in series. I bought a Schauer 48v maintainer and wired it up to the cart to maintain while gone for extended periods and to top off if batteries have minor discharge. Came back home after 6 weeks to...

    One year later and things do not seem right

    So looking at my hull/transom it appears to be quite flat at the rear 1/3 at least. It is difficult to check with level as boat is on a lift with bow up for drainage. To the naked eye seems to be flat.
