    Headlights?

    I am looking to go from Wilmington,NC towards Fairfax, VA but I think the closest marina will be Occoquan near Woodbridge. Update: I have decided to go with the handheld spotlight, it is exactly what I was looking.

    Headlights?

    Sorry for the confusion, I did not mean actual headlights. I meant a light that I can shine to see navigation marks that are unlighted as OCNSLR mentioned. As mentioned before I do plan on going only during the day time and stopping at a marina if need be for the night.

    Headlights?

    I am going to be going to VA from NC this summer and in case I have to boat in the dark what type of lights should I buy that would act as like headlights so I don't run into anything.

    Garmin 540s Transducer not responding

    Thank you seasick, I will adjust the angle the transducer sits at and perhaps even move it. You could be right about turbulence messing it up, that never occurred to me until you said something.

    Garmin 540s Transducer not responding

    Evinrude ocean pro 200hp

    Sorry going off topic but how is gas mileage on the f26 cat? I have heard that they are terrible and just wanted to hear from someone who actually owns the boat instead of a boat tester.

    So... turn the battery on and stick a volt meter into that plug and see if there is any voltage coming out of it?

    Adding a 2nd engine

    Good to know thanks for the replies it was just a thought. I tend to over think things and like to have a backup plan then have a backup plan of the backup plan. If you have seen the Toshiba commercials for their new TV "we are ready to ship if we do not include wireless" then it flashes to...
