I am pretty careful with security but I had my credit card info stolen and used for fraudulent charges. I should have known better. I was looking for some boat parts and I stumbled upon two websites that had the parts heavily discounted. That was the first red flag. When I checked out of the...

The Airmar B75H transducer should not be turned on when it is not in the water to avoid over heating. My question is : When the transducer is disabled using the Garmin 8616 MFD, the sonar definitely stops but does the temp sensor stop working also. Mine does not send temp data but I was sure it...

2020 F200s, Garmin 8616 MD, 6YC Information System I am getting a recurring warning on my networked Garmin 8616 MFD that says the the 50 hour service is overdue. I just acknowledge the message to clear it from the screen for a while. The problem is that there is no 50 hour service listed in the...

I though you folks would get a kick out of what a fellow boater discovered while trying to figure why he was having so much trouble filling his gas tank. We hear somewhat often about issues where the gas seems to back up in the fill and shuts off the gas flow form the fuel nozzle. That is what...

I am not sure how many banks a charger should be for my boat. I have gotten different opinions from dealer, vendors, and internet 'gurus' I have twin engines and four batteries. There is one battery for the port engine, a second for the stbd motor and two parallel batteries for the house and...

Does anyone have any feedback on the ODB IScan diagnostic product? I am looking for something to work with 2020 F200 XCA . Apparently the Yamaha YDS software is not compatible with that model year. I would prefer something laptop based but haven't found anything that is reasonably priced both...

Here's wishing all of you and your families a happy holiday and healthy New Year.

About two years or more ago, I started to toy with the idea of a newer boat. I had the 2001 208 Adventure and another brand 25 ft walk around cabin. The 25 footer had Optimax twin motors, the 208 had the trusty SX 150, OX66. My wife had a few complaints about each model. We both agreed that the...

Dear Gang, I am feeling quite guilty posting on this form. Recently I sold my Grady and non Grady and started a search for a replacement. Bottom line is that I recently did purchase a newer boat but not a Grady. So here I am asking if there is a rule that says that you have to own a Grady to...

Can anyone recommend a good surveyor who covers the eastern end of Long Island, specifically the Hamptons area? Thanks for your feedback.

After several years of above average increasing demand, inventory challenges, and inflated pricing, I think I am now seeing changes in the boat market. I usually judge by the amount of asking price decreases and those seem to be increasing. There are a few shows coming up over the next several...

There is lots of feedback on 275s but not much on 285s. I ask because of a post I read about a member who is selling his late model 275 and buying a 285. Is the 275 that bad or is the 285 that good:) I originally thought the 285 was the updated version of the 275 but it is a different beast and...

Here is a link to a 208 for sale at the Jersey shore I know this boat very well:) https://jerseyshore.craigslist.org/boa/d/ocean-gate-2001-grady-white-208/7739043337.html

I went to the NY Boat Show on Wednesday, opening day. Here are my overall initial thoughts. Granted I did go the first day and early but nevertheless there were no crowds. Quite the opposite. I left at about 5PM and the attendance had picked up but still not very crowded. Pretty much every...

There seems to be a strange blip on the radar and I couldn't figure out what it was until I realized what day it is. Ho ho ho To all a wonderful holiday season.

I have a buddy who has a Simrad NS EVO2 plotter with Navionics maps. The unit is maybe 5 or 6 years old. When the unit is powered up, it reverts to the out of the box configuration (initial config). If you redo your desired config, it works fine until you shut it off. When you turn it back on...

I have started an "Oprah's favorite things" list If you have a favorite, add it to the list. There are no rules except it should be something you frequently recommend.(preferable, something that you want on your boat). Per Seasick... A 12 volt test lamp Per Dennis... Butyl tape Per Skunk... A...

I wen to the show today, got there at about 12:30. The show opened at noon. The lobby of the Javits Center was eerily uncrowded. Maybe everyone was inside. No, it was just super uncrowded, more so that any other years, including last year. One of the sales rep told me that attendance was...

I will be attending the NY Boat Show this Friday. Tomorrow morning I will post a picture of the cap I will be wearing:) So if you at the show on Friday and you see someone who might be me, just ask; "Are you Seasick?"

Wishing all of you happy holidays, fair winds, and following seas.
