    High Water Alarm Recommendations

    I installed the Johnson High water alarm several years ago and very happy with it. Can turn it off if needed in case you are cleaning the bilge and get it wet...

    cost of trailer

    For my very heavy 252G, I had a 2006 Road King that did very well for over 12+ years, but corrosion started to take over. I went back to Road King but overbuilt with heavier bunk brackets, all SS hardware, All SS Road King brakes and 16" custom wheels to get the trailer higher for my case to...

    Wiper on/off valve

    What does this valve do actually? I have an aftermarket Marineco remote wiper washer kit I use on mine now, but have always wondered how I could just pipe into my freshwater pressure system and use it instead? Must be some type of switch to activate a valve to open/close?

    Stopping the email

    I was able to get an email response from Jeff to check my Spam ,which I have been doing and nothing is there .I let him know I was not the only one, but so far no other responses to why a lot of us are not getting the emails or notifications.

    Anchor line

    You can get more 8 plait than 3 ply as it will lay down more.

    Not finding My Content anywhere. Would love it if we can get the former process working to send me an email so I know to come over to the site.

    Safe cabin heater?

    I just picked up one of the Caframo True North heaters. It does a great job and heats up quickly and is quiet as well: https://www.defender.com/product.jsp?id=732071

    Speakers

    I have a pair in cockpit facing aft now for several years and they have done very well. I just moved my 6" speakers from the hardtop (another post) and moved to the gunnels. They sound great! I have a 12" sub box mounted under the deck in the aft berth area that vibrates the entire boat, but...

    I think it is a smart move.

    Stopping the email

    I have been asking the site admin if they can fix it so I can get emails when someone responds to a message I am watching or have responded to. I don't get any since mid December. Something changed and I don't like having to chase down what conversations I might have been involved in by...

    Radar mounting on hardtop pics

    I found this: Simrad and Lowrance's newest radar technology is now available. It has improved upon their existing broadband technology by incorporating Doppler. Doppler has enabled a host of new features, the most prominent of which is VelocityTrack. VelocityTrack actually senses motion of...

    265 exspress windshield washer reroute

    Not sure about what your pain point is here, but I installed an Marineco remote washer kit and it works great with the wipers. I put in the Yellow color windshield washer fluid which is winter proof and does not leave any stains on the deck like the blue stuff. https://www.marinco.com/en/33505

    Radar mounting on hardtop pics

    Ok, so you made me go out and start some measurements! lol. Based on the manual, flush mounted with 11 degree angle from center of dome, I am fully clearing on the sides, just barely since my hardtop curves to the sides and some also toward the rear and forward. Interesting design on the...

    Radar mounting on hardtop pics

    Back when I got my Lowrance 3G radar, to use overlay and have improved heading position, the RC42 was the tool to use. At the time, there was no Pilot-1 or Pilot-1AP used for the Autopilot. I would say try without it and see if you are happy with the features and if not, you can easily add the...

    Finally got the 3d printer going

    I was getting a bit irritated last week trying to find a wedge shim for my antenna so it could be mounted vertical instead of having the outward lean. The Shakespeare shims are just too soft and squish out which over time will allow leaking and rot out my core. I started researching for a 3D...

    Radar mounting on hardtop pics

    I use the RC42 Heading sensor. If I recall, it does more than what you are discussing. One if the things it does is know which direction you are pointing and travelling. I forget all the stuff it really does, but it was for sure worth the investment. I have used Marpa a few times. It is pretty...

    Interference on VHF

    I ran new dedicated wiring to my VHF radios in the hardtop, so that might be another good option to make sure you have some good condition, heavier gauge marine tinned wire to help ensure not only do you have the right wire to carry the transmit power, but also keep the wiring away from other...

    Radar mounting on hardtop pics

    I like those mounts. Either look really nice and will serve the purpose. In my case, with flush mount, I barely clear the bridges and trees. I figure I am at or near 13' 3" now, so any mount would keep me from trailering. As it is now, I have to dodge trees and in some cases, I have special...
