Thanks a bunch Bill!

Bill and Mike, Can you set up an Album for Islander? Ron

Islander has an EPIRB on board. There are two basic types of EPIRBS, the latest and greatest (406MHz ?) uses GPS. The new EPIRB when activated sends the boats the Lat and Long up to a Satellite, which in turn relays the information to a central calling facility. The call center then is able...

Cheers, I may very well leave the deck pipe in as well. It has been secured by 5200. Very difficult to unbond. Thanks for the response.

Da Nag, The 500 that I just purchased has the metal gypsy. As for it being discontinued that could be the case as I got it from West Marine at a very steep discount 60%.

Thanks for the inputs guys. As for self launching, I don't now if mine will do that yet. My thought was to do the install then see if it self launches. Did any of you guys have the existing rope deck pipe off to starboard? I currently have that now and it will become useless. Did you...

I have a 22 foot 1990 Crusier Model. I'm getting ready to install my Simpson Horizon 500 electric anchor windlass. I thought that I would install it using the existing hole in the deck that is off set to the starboard side. All I would have to do is remove the stainless steel cap that is...

I agree with Bill, the cellular technology is the best in terms of availability; even though it is not the fastest. One of my business associates hooks his cell phone to his notebook computer and the cell phone becomes the wireless modem. It connects via a USB port and seems to work very...

Da Nag, It would be great to get some more representation from No Cal, and the Pacific Northwest. If you make the long trip you won't be disappointed. If I can answer any questions let me know. Ron

Mike, I agree that the Garmin presents the data better than the RADAR. That is cretainly true for my JRC RADAR. I do REALLY to have the way point on the RADAR screen. For that reason alone I would hook it up. It gives me a nice visual as to where the waypoint is; i.e. distance and...

Mike, To expand upon Bill's input, the units should in theory be able to communicate via the NMEA protocol. My boat has , a JRC 1500 Radar and Standard Horizon 150 GPS. I hooked up the NMEA interface and wala! They do indeed share data. This allows waypoints from the GPS to appear on my...

Are you guys still going to SB this weekend. The WX looks to be rain. I will be out there for one day, maybe two, if WX holds.

My congradulations to the keys who did all this hard work. Nice site nice layout.....look forward to vsiiting and participating!
