My boat is an '04 and while washing it I noticed the Logo decal on the starboard side is missing. I haven't called a dealer yet since it is Sunday but was wondering if anyone has had experience with locating these for older boats. I did a quick look on ebay and nothing there. These are the ones...

Trapper, Being familiar with your area and having seen many pictures of your cruises, I can tell you for sure that an AP is gonna make you smile. I just hope you will post a bit of a tutorial for us all when you install one so we can witness your fine attention to detail. Every time I use our...

Doc, For the fluxgate compass, ideally the closer to waterline elevation is best but anywhere below deck is fine. As far as fore to aft location the best area is aft of midship and forward of 30% of hull length from transom. As for port to starboard location, of course centerline is ideal but...

Mr.crab, Is that a FLIR camera I see under the Radar dome in your pics? WOW!

Dennis has made a couple of references to the fact that this isn't a high tech component, and I agree fully with his line of thinking. The material in that groove is strictly for cosmetic purposes. If you take his advice about finding a simple piece of garden hose that matches the opening, you...

Have you looked at this?...…..They have other sizes also. https://marine.steelerubber.com/insert-trim-70-3782-340 https://marine.steelerubber.com/port-hole?p=2

Ya know, Russ said he had a Dodge Ram and I thought I had spotted him down here in Florida...

Skunk, I used those field replacable fittings a lot when working on the water in the dredging business. They work very well and do not leak or "pop off". The one requirement though. they have to be mated with hose material of the proper spec. We used them extensively on our deck equipment...

One point I might make is that when you go shopping for your antenna mount (if you don't already have it) is to avoid any mount made in China. A buddy of mine was so happy about the good deal he got on his mount, but when we started running offshore in the chop, the thing would loosen up and...

I think with a boat that small, you would be wise to just add a belly bar up there and make do. excess weight and wind resistance up that high will make the boat a dog.

Besides what Skunk will discuss with you about the availability of space in an overhead, one of my main considerations would be making sure I can readily reach the pivot mount when it is time to lay the antenna down without climbing onto the hardtop.

That's a great improvement KY. I like that new design cockpit drain. Looks like it should flow real well while keeping trash out and the whole sink looks new now.

Russ, I wonder if you are misunderstanding that 7000 pound number. Does that sticker state that that is the maximum allowable trailer weight or is that the GVWR? On your door sticker I would expect to see GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) that includes the truck and everything in it including...

They are the same guy. The first picture was taken a week after the second picture.

I agree with Dennis if you are looking for the most trouble free connection. If however you want to keep that part of your system removable I would use a terminal block. Here is a link to what I'm talking about. There are covered ones also but I was lazy and didn't hunt...

Doc, On a previous boat I had Lowrance HDS units with the Point 1 compass connected to a 2K backbone. I installed an autopilot and it worked fine but I did also have a fluxgate compass in the system. I really liked the fact that with the Point 1 it would show the boats heading, even when...

KY, you had better get you a new headlamp. That is a lot of work you're looking at. I can see you getting harassed to come in for dinner before it gets cold.:) Gonna be Fun!

I agree, If I were changing mine out, that's the route I would go.

Since any outfit that has your boat in their possession and has done work that was agreed upon by the registered owner, I believe they have the right to hold the boat till the bill is settled. For that reason, I would think something like a 10% good faith deposit should suffice. Understand, I...

Have you already delivered your boat to their shop?
