Not sure if I can post this here, if not, my apologies (and in that case, admins - please delete). I have decided to sell my R25. It is listed here: http://www.tugnuts.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=467 My contact info is there.

Bob, Nice mod. Seems simple and effective. I would like to see a pic or 2. Tim

Bob, Your post got me thinking about this. It's a mod I want to make. So, here's an idea. Instead of a temporary post for the larger opening, you could reinforce the top of the opening on the inside with a piece of mahogany, teak, oak, stainless steel, etc. It's would be like a lintel on a...

More info. I also saved my old filter and just took measurements. For the QSD 2.0 150hp, we want the WIX 51212. Tim

Thanks for starting this thread. It gave me the impetus to do a little research. That kind of stinks that you can't get one thru Cummins NW. But, if you could, it would be $63 for the cartridge filter. The original filter off my engine has a Mopar part number: 05015171AA I was able to cross...

Bob, Thanks for that great info - the explanation of Candadian charts is an eye opener. I suppose the the Canadian west Bluechart and Bluenav cartridges must make sense to somebody... Looks like the navionics 13xg cart works for the lowrance handhelds, which might be the ticket. Tim

The handheld I bought is a garmin gpsmap 76cx, and I'm really trying to decide whether or not to keep it. I bought it with the understanding that the bluecharts America CD would have the chart I wanted. Seeing as I didn't even open the packaging, I'm leaning toward returning it. If the...

Looks like the bluenav xl3 charts for puget sound are similar if not identicle to the bluecharts chart.... fyi - the bluenav xl3 charts are for Magellan handhelds and are derived from Navionics charts.

Like Bob, I too have the Navionics chip (13xg) that covers from Puget sound to Alaska, and was really hoping to find a bluechart that does the same thing - or at least close to it. So, now I'm going to start searching for a handheld (other than Garmin) that might cover the same area, not too...

I just bought the Bluecharts Americas cd, but prolly should have done a bit more homework first. The cd has Canada west regular and large charts. The regular covers the inside passage east of Vancouver island, but not puget sound, the large does the same, but also puget sound. This is for a...

A 130hp or 150hp cummins is offered in the 2008 + R25 rangers.

Here's an article that helped me: link (Dave, I fixed it. Thanks.) thanks, Tim

Thanks for the suggestions on the url links. Geez, I was wondering why the heck this thread had become so wide - no idea it was cuz of my post. Sorry. Is there a way for me to delete a post? If not, maybe an admin can do it... thanks, Tim

For those buying a new raymarine system, the raymarine rep at SBS told me that it's a good idea to download the most current version. This is mainly because they can't guarantee how long a system has been sitting on a shelf before being sold. Tim
