Thanks for explaining. We were in a commercial building with its own wiFi so that makes perfect sense. And it also stops me from running out to get one immediately. Chris

I don't know anything about these things but, my daughter got one. She handed it to me and I opened the map program. I tapped the map and it put a pin in it for me and asked me if I'd like directions there?. I tapped yes and it came up with a nice colored multi-legged map. So it knew where it...

Or, if you're made of money, here are some really fancy pants clamps at bottom of page! http://www.edsonmarine.com/marinestore/ ... Path=87_99

I don't want to lead you to more anguish. I know Standard is a great company with great service. But I might take a look at the new Garmin 740 touchscreens. I've heard great things about it. I think it's 7". It comes loaded with coastal maps, retails for 1499. Adding color 4Kw HD radar later is...

I can't say this is definitive, but my boat banks are all connected with 2 gauge, tinned, 105 degree insulation marine wire. My deisel truck is all wired 2 ga. between the batteries. 2 gauge is the standard for short runs to carry loads up to 210 amps outside an engine compartment. Lugs should...

For cockpit seating in my 22 angler I use 2 of the fold up ss westmarine thick padded white boat chairs. Garelick nock offs I think. They fold up and store and ride well against the gunnels with just a bungee and a sun slip cover I made up. If you are camping you can pull them out for luxury in...

Tug, I am trying to picture what you are saying. My 87 isn't anything like that. Mine may have been changed many times. But generally there shouldn't be any power to the negative buss. It is simply a common connecting point for the negative side of multiple circuits (kind of an extension of...

I've had a Sony marine am/fm/cd hooked only to the the two main panel busses (+ and -) with it's own inline fuse for 2 years with no noticeable static or problems of any kind. It sits on a wood overhead bench. This is from memory but I'm sure if it had a separate ground wire, I would have simply...

Just in case you haven't changed a fuse on the panel of the older boats, the little red square fuse holders on the switch panel have a tiny hole on the left hand side of the black plastic surround. If you stick in something small like a small nail or an opened paper clip and push in they will...

I have two bilges. They are both wired manually and automatic one from each battery bank. One is an 1100 and one a 500, both Rulemates and I have never had a problem with either though I almost prefer a separate float switch for ease of checking by just lifting. This all stems from a trip to...

http://www.thehulltruth.com/marine-elec ... ducts.html Warren, I hope you are right about its (S1000) continuance. I love mine and hope it will be serviceable for a very long time. I'm posting the source. Maybe one of the dealers might comment if they have insight. I do note the poster has...

Perusing another site I came across a post that says that the Raymarine S1000 was actually retired in 2008. There are still some around in retail inventory and it is likely Raymarine will continue to provide service for a while. But who knows for how long. The guy who posted says this was...

When you have a battery disconnected (as Starcraft Tom suggested for checking the motor) turn on a cabin light or 2 and see if the toggle switch you mention turns the lights on and off. If it does, but then when you reconnect the battery it no longer does, then it is likely your toggle does...

One of the nice things about the chart is that as you go to each input box the "help area" kind of explains it. Also, it will work even if a lot of inputs are left blank.

Of particular interest to me is the suggested curcuit protection guide that pops up when the protction side is filled in. I think you need to calculate the left side stuff first.

I have an older model CRT Furuno (love that Co.) and while it works fine, I have been dreaming of the day I can change out for a new HD unit. So, from all the research that I have been doing (and especially if I already had a Garmin network head unit) I would have no problem at all going for the...

For trolling (if you do that) they are nearly a must have. Going slow in waves or angled winds is really a lot of work manually. The S1000 does a great job of handling this and has never come close to putting a wire near my prop (like I do manually :roll: ).

After responses and a few power calculations it seems that expecting to do anything substantial on a t/o, with battery power alone, is going to be difficult. I think my direction is turning back toward looking for a more powerful microwave, but it is not terribly easy to find choices that are...

I was reading a thread on microwaves and a number of people seemed to be going over to toaster ovens. I have a 2000w inverter (cheapo) off a 3 optima house bank and my low power microwave has never really worked very well. So I am looking at toaster ovens as a possible alternative. The first...
