    1994 Seafarer 226

    Any chance you can take a pic of what yours looks like in the water? Curious if the scuppers are submerged or not with all that weight.

    This brings back memories to my espresso machine that I left back in storage in Spain. I use a nespresso now for my daily Cortados as I can’t see paying so much for a real one. In Spain, the whole aisle was filled with them from 30eu to a few hundred to have a commercial one. Try putting some...

    Maybe I’ll see you there tomorrow! Hoping to get there in the AM before the game. They have the 3 I was looking at and think the Lowrance is one row down and to the left of the GO7 ( Axiom is top row to the left, GO7 dead center, Echomap bottom right). If I go before you, I can let you know.

    The UI on the Simrad hooked me for the same reason, which looks to be identical to the Lowrance. I’m checking the Lowrancout again as there are some good prices on it. Only dislike I have is I hate seeing the large brand name along the side. Something small at the top or bottom would...

    Two Simrad 7 inches in Grady 228. Possible?

    Check the measurement of the units. I know the lid’s measurement is 19-2/8 x 7-7/8 as I’m looking to flush mount Out of curiosity, what’s your thoughts on putting inside vs flush mounting? I was having the same debate since I like that compartment but didn’t think I would get much use of it...

    Do these light up at night? If so, can you share a pic?

    Lol.... Funny you say that as I liked the Garmin because of its shortcut menu buttons on the side. Some customer at WM told me the touch screens work great even when your hands are wet or the screen gets wet. I found that hard to believe based on experiences with my iPhone but took his word for...

    Your Closest Call?

    Great stories!! Isn’t Pacifica a rocky beach? Can’t imagine trying to paddle a boat in with those waves there. Pretty cool town though

    Definitely go to West Marine (one that has all of the units, ie Woodbridge NJ) and test them out. I went thinking that I could live with any of the 4 but ultimately landed on the GO7 due to its UI. I found it to be very similar to a smart phone and it just clicked, very intuitive. Plus, GO7...

    Removable compartment trays/liners

    I wouldn’t shy away because of that. They are very helpful and the worst they will do is turn you towards your local Grady dealer.

    NJ fishing reports

    Thanks for sharing...How many poles do you go out with? You really caught a pretty good range of species. I finally made it out on Sunday and thought I planned well based on the forecasts minus the wind. However, it was choppier than I expected. Surprised how “calm” your pics look.

    Removable compartment trays/liners

    Brand new one I saw had both sides with them but I haven’t found them online anywhere. Neither of mine have them and I remember using them a lot on a boat I had as a kid. I keep an eye out to see if I come across any Rubbermaid containers that would work but no luck to date.

    Wiring Advice re: Fuse Panel and Common Bus

    Agreed - Took my daughter’s labeler down last weekend to start marking off the wires before I take it all apart

    GW 265 Express or Edgewater 265 Express

    I can't give feedback on the engines, but dry stored would definitely be a preference of mine vs sitting in the water. However, my boat was dry stored most of the year in a garage, but this 1 year with the salt air really aged the electrical considering all were original parts (~ 20 years)...

    Wiring Advice re: Fuse Panel and Common Bus

    Thanks Skunkboat! I completely overlooked the NMEA backbone that I will be adding to my electronics as part of the install with the two new MFDs. Questions 1. Any idea what could be the 3rd positive terminal on my fuse panel? What should I look for? Possibly feeding breakers on the switch...

    Wiring Advice re: Fuse Panel and Common Bus

    I have the same panel in my hardtop but looks in good condition for its age. If mine looked like yours, I would probably be tackling that first :). I’ll try to grab a pick of mine when I’m by the boat again
