I have the pandora app on my droid. In shore it would be great to have, never thought about it for the boat. Thanks.

let me know and we can make it a trio...I was in Charleston last weekend and enjoyed your 70 degree day on Saturday!

Welcome aboard! Nice boat and we have a 228G, you will enjoy her for sure. I think sometimes the FWC guys and I are on a first name basis :lol: I remember watching the shuttle launch from mynold 192 and we cruised up from the Haulover Canal to Ponce Inlet near New Smyrna there and the FWC...

Sel, I went to grad school at FSU and spent a fair amount time in the Big Bend from the Suwannee River, fished the mouth and got some big cobes on the shoals there. My kids, the admiral and I love Cape San Blas and St. Joe Bay. It is unspoiled and absolutely wonderful place to boat and fish...

Springsteen's song the Feaver is runn'n through my head and I got the Feaver bad, spring feaver. Here in the southeast the winter has been long and cold and in the Smoky Mountains we have had a ton of snow. Love the snow, but man, I cant wait to get on the water. After reading and enjoying...

Megabytes, I just installed Alpine's plug and play amplifier to my system this past weekend. It brings the continuious power to 50 watts x 4...not sure the peak. My head unit was something like 4 x 18 continuious, 45 peak. If your system is not already amplified, this is a simple way to...

What prop size and pitch are you running?

I am very pleased with my choice in the garmin 4208. Sure there will be advances this year and beyond, but it is a nice system. I have a thru hull ducer on it, but no radar, maybe someday. I like integration so my vote is go with either a garmin system or furuno. Sure there are nema connections...

I will follow this as I too have the Gdrive. It is aluminum and as such is a relatively soft metal and then you got galvonic corrision issues with dissimilar metals in sea water. Seems to me, the plastic or nylon is likely the way to go here.

MagicBill, ever see Joe Dirt and the fireworks scene, it is not want you want it is what the consumer wants :wink: Name the time and date and lets head for Tortuga.... Jekyl: I got three letters for you it is spelled I N X S, great Aussie band! Disclaimer: I attended the Joe Biden school...

Sometimes the VHF gives us insight to where the bite is hot, too. What kind of music do you perform?

I installed an Alpine marine cd tuner with ipod controller. Alpine worked with Apple in designing their new generation multimedia players. Every ipod function is displayed on the deck and the remote control controls the ipod too! Music...like a good mix of rock, alternative and country. I...

I had the Yammah F150 on my 192. Put over 500 hours on that motor without a flaw. I loved that motor.

Congrats! It is a fun time getting her ready for sure.

Call me crazy, but I like taking the admiral fishing when she wants to go. She enjoys driving the boat while we troll which means I can rig the bait, kick back a little...I suspect you are just having some internet fun :wink:

Capt. Bill, What is involved in cleaning and ventilating below deck? Is it simply popping all the access ports and taking a shop vac and cleaning out the bilge? My boat is under cover of one of those metal pole barn sheds. I bring it up.solely to point out I can leave the access ports open...

Looking at the schematic provided by Grady on the pergo switch and battery configutation. On the 228, they have 40 amp main and engine crank coming to the switch. There are 3 12 v constants coming out of switch, 2 for bilges and 1 for constant, 10 amp. The grounds go to a common bus fed by...

Ok, read my manual. It makes no mention of charging batteries other than not to switch it off. It neither confirms or denies both batteries will be charged in either the 1 or 2 positions. They state rotate between position 1 and 2. One could assume the system is only charging the battery as...

So Chris, they only both charge when it is set to all? I have never had a battery problem, but this got me thinking.....

ok, real stupid question here. I always thought when having multiple batteries with the factory installed selector switch that both batteries are being charged in any of the three positions? Is this accurate? Does the switch have to be on both to charge both? The batteries are wired in parallel...
