    First trip to the Vineyard

    We picked a great day, almost no wind but it was a bit foggy on our way over, left at about 8:30AM. We left from Osterville used Navionics automatic route, worked out well. It did seem to send us around some shoals but I see most boats just take a direct route. We got a mooring at Oak Bluffs...

    I have a 2011 Freedom 275. I am thinking of changing the gunwale led lights, the helm light and the light under the bow seating from red to blue. The strip lighting under the gunwales I think will be straight forward but how about the other 2? Can I just change the bulbs?

    Probably Dumb question

    I recently purchased a 2011 freedom 275. My first boat in about 30 years. The boat is in the water but I have not spent too much time on her due to the crappy New England spring we have had. So my question, Is there a fresh water level gauge? I know the head has a gauge for the waste but...
