I’m getting a few artifacts from the g3 charts. Although I formatted theActive Captain card and removed my Florida g3 Vision card it still shows shaded relief as an option and doesn’t display them (which is ok). I would also like to get the g3 basemaps out and the Navionics installed in the unit...

Basemaps arrived a day early. Plugged the chip in. Opened Active Captain, switched to boat wifi, internet and back. Pulled chip. Everything looks fine. This chip does not contain Vision+ so no shaded relief for me (yet). Shaded relief will show up on your unit as a type of chart. Go into Active...

I have Navionics base maps coming Saturday. I have not used any of the new Navionics charts yet. Just making sure you ordered a NVUS007R US East. This is the Garmin Navionics Vision+ You may want to go into your Garmin unit and try to install the charts via the Active Captain>Vessel>MyCharts...

I’ll know better this week. Shipped Monday.

Take it out and re-seal it. With fresh sealant not tight at all. Snug is good enough.

Go for it! Let me know. What’s taking so long…

Twenty three year old gel coat is likely going to be closer to a slightly off white. Pull a cushion back or cockpit bolster off to see the difference. My Islander is a 1997. I use ”white” with vinyl. Its not bright like the winter white and it’s not cream colored. For paint is Awlgrip Brightside...

The glass all around the tube inside and out should be sanded clean. I used epoxy thickened with West System 404 high density filler to fill the edges. Tab the motor and tube assembly in and when hardened remove the motor. Cut tube so it extends out at leading edge and bottom and tapers back to...

One the older gauges there are 8 bars. The gauge "debounces" and slows the updates down. A solid bar is an 1/8 of a tank. When it starts to blink you are below 1/8 tank. These gauges are approximate. Many factors to consider. Not like a car.

Nice char but doesn't have the reversible feature. I spoke to Arrigoni Designs on Friday - will ship today. Should know by the end of the week. Chair are ordered with a better quality fabric in a GW matching color. They said if its not what I want send it back.

That is what I thought but that article above says different. “Disconnect the sending wire and the gauge should move immediately to “full”; if so, the gauge is not the source of the problem.”

These diagrams can help you troubleshoot the basics of the fuel gauges. Newer gauges may have a calibration but the level detection is the same. A "full" gauge would mean a full tank, a stuck or bad sending unit or a open circuit. Burn off more fuel 1/4 tank or more. See if it starts working...

Courious problem on the Navionics app. The markers (their waypoints) don't show with names. The names are retained in the marker and can be opened up to see them. I have not found a setting to change. Not sure if this will carry over to the new Garmin Navionics charts - they are adopting the...

It may not be a fair comparison to the g3 Bluechart images. Not sure what charts revisions are in my ActiveCaptain. It says 2023.0 but they don't look updated. I'll check my unit Sunday when I'm back South. Either way I think its a worthwhile upgrade.

The basemaps are large. When I updated my g3 to 2023.0 I plugged my laptop directly into the router instead of wireless for better speed. Used GarminExpress and created a SD card. Still took a couple of hours. Hodges has the BUS001L Vision+ card for $90.58. U.S. & Coastal Canada Built-In Chart...

I see. It’s strange that it’s cutting it. I wonder if it isn’t old or inferior anchor rode. I talked to Lewmar about my rope to chain splice not getting swallowed up by the windlass. The anchor rode came from Defender with the windlass. Lewmar was quick to tell me to buy their anchor rode. I...

How do you like the Springfield reversible seat? I have one on order.

Not happy with what?
