    What’s better than two MFD’s?

    Three! Need to clean up the wiring (I mean the whole boat), but just a 15’ N2K network cable and a t-connector tied into existing network and power to the battery and she works fine. Will be ideal for anchored bait fishing, halibut drifting and pretty much any trolling. The spare HDS 8 was...

    Always one of my biggest fears. Very sad.

    Which Garmin?

    The Lowrance point-1 for another $15 or $20 adds GPS receiver, lightning fast updates and will work with MARPA and autopilot on a small craft although not recommended by manufacturer. Does work with Garmin.

    Which Garmin?

    A grand for a decent transducer and another grand for install and it totals about the same as I paid for my first new car. A bargain!

    Which Garmin?

    I’m not sure two 7” screens is equal one 14” screen but I didn’t take my shoes off to do the math, so not 100% sure. This is a 12” screen in the electronics box.

    Seafarer Storage Ideas

    Looks nice. I need something out of the elements. Or at least in an area not getting blasted by raw water wash, waves and spastic fish. If I placed that tackle center where you show, I’d either be freshwater rinsing all my tackle every single trip or would have thousands in rusted crap. In...

    Seafarer Storage Ideas

    I like the size of the cabinet in the picture. Is that factory? I was thinking of access from the side (starboard). Not having to enter the cabin to access cabinet. Perhaps three 3700 boxes vertical, side by side at the bottom and three long, narrow drawers above that. This would leave the...

    Seafarer Storage Ideas

    Storage is sufficient for most of us on the Seafarer. Organized storage can be problematic. A small lockable single drawer under the port helm seat, small lockable compartment under the starboard helm seat. Radio box, electronics box, large compartments in the cockpit, all great storage but...

    What NOT to do while towing

    I see the problem, everybody was driving on the wrong side of the road. Looks like the driver with the dash cam was driving at speeds up to 105KPH (65mph). Gents with boat, maybe the same or a tad higher. Not too extreme. Trailer probably not setup correctly. Either way, dumb move. The...

    What NOT to do while towing

    Don’t leave your 8’ VHF antenna that is mounted on your hardtop in the up position, while traveling. This will exceed the minimum vertical clearance under overhead structures including but not limited to; bridges, cantilevered traffic signals and traffic signs, trees and most any overhead...
