    Enclosure thoughts

    I have the A&J canvas with the roll up smileys. They work fine, but I modded them to allow me to swing them back and snap up to the hardtop. That way, it is easier and quicker and completely out of my view. Way better than rolling up. I can also snap up my side enclosures unrolled.

    So boat still with cover, but here are a couple of pics: Likely will be a few weeks before I get back down to the coast and not sure when it would be at night.

    So maybe I did something wrong still....I selected all on one page, then selected enable email notifications and click on GO. So far nothing.

    Not getting email notifications?

    Well, that takes the cake! I just did first 3 pages. Let's see if it works. That for sure is a software bug where the program default when you say watch thread and get email notifications, the selection does not stay checked.

    autopilot

    The integration is very easy. I am actually impressed! The audio and Autopilot hides on the left side of the screen. Just swipe it out and the menu/buttons are all there. Immediate response. I run with twin 200 HPDI Yamaha's on a tiebar with single hydraulic cylinder and it is no issue. Mounted...

    Throwable PFD

    If they tell me that throwable is not easily accessible, I bet I can unstrap it faster than flipping a light switch. I think in a net, the zipper can be restrictive sometimes. With those 2 bungees, I can undo one and grab and pull...it pops right out!

    Throwable PFD

    This is what I came up with. Keeps it handy and out of the way and out of the weather as well as visible for anyone .

    Deck drain hose & thru hull replacement

    Glad that Eddie was a big help. I have had great service from them as well other than old stuff (Hardware/Trim) that they used to use, they have no idea who even the supplier was. However, that was over 30+ years ago! I would have chosen that spot also just aft the door on the flat area which...

    autopilot

    I have the Lowrance Live 12" units with the Outboard Pilot system and love it. Easy install and works perfectly. No idea how I survived without it so long.

    I stopped getting them months ago also. Mentioned it to Jeff, but so far no solution provided. It definately takes away the ability to track and participate in this forum now especially when trying to have a conversation or help someone. I really wish they could fix it. And not, it is not in...

    Helm seats

    I have been happy with these! Tempress and have option for low back or high back. Mine are the low back versions so when I spin around, the back is not hitting the tower as much as it would if high back. When I lean back, no issues with comfort and I don't miss a high back seat.

    Cabin table

    I used the V-lock bracket as it is very small footprint and does not stick out more than 1".

    Towing

    Towboat US and get the benefits of awards with West Marine. I used to have both at the same time, but settled with Towboat US. Also have my Insurance with them which was the best deal I could find at the time.

    LED spreader lights recommendations

    Seafarer Bob, fyi....I just finished installing my 10" light bar under the pulpit, same as you this weekend! It looks like really good quality. Install was a bit tricky as you mentioned, but manageable. I got lucky in that my outer Stantion bolts lined up with the brackets with a very minor mod...

    Toe Rail Replacement

    I replaced my original toe rails with 3/4" Starboard in Seafoam. Seafoam is near perfect match and looks great. Easy job, just trace old one's onto a new piece of Starboard, cut and route, drill holes a bit oversized and put in new screws. I measured and ordered from their cut to size feature...

    How to use Raw water wash down

    I recall when I first got my boat, Grady had a 3 way valve that switched between livewell or Washdown pump. It was a PITA to switch, so I redid all the plumbing and installed 2 pumps for each. I now control the on/off with a switch at the helm. Look for a gray valve to switch if you have not...
