Hi, I'm a newer boater, coming up Des Moines, WA with my wife and young daughter. I've looked through some old threads, but what route would be the easiest (safest)? East side of Whidbey and then through Deception Pass at slack tide? Thanks! - tom

Nice job Patrick. Installed fine on my iPhone and I look forward to using it.

Thanks all. Not much room to mount on my roof anymore. We put a Thule roof rack on there to put a Sea Eagle kayak and temporarily our camping stuff when we use the v-berth for sleeping instead of storage. http://www.c-brats.com/modules.php?set_ ... _photo.php I'm thinking of mount a DIY or...

Hi Jeff, Can you send me dimensions? I'm wondering if they will fit in my 22 Angler. Thanks! - tom

Hey Bob, do you think schedule 40 would be strong enough for this? I can't seem to find any 3" schedule 80. Thanks. - tom

Hey Mark, What glass place did you go to in Seattle? I cracked my starboard glass and will be looking for a place to get a replacement. Thanks! - tom

Nice job! Do you have pictures of the install? I'm trying to decide where to put my DC to DC charger. Thanks!

@zuunami sorry for the late reply. We haven't really used our E-propulsion motor as we decided to move to a Sea Eagle kayak as our dinghy and the e-prop doesn't really work on that. So it sits in the birth to be an emergency kicker. If I wasn't getting it to be on our dinghy, I probably go...

I love the size of the SOK Marine battery too. 13.4" long, where my Expert Power 200ah is 20.6" long! And the SOK is not even 1" taller or wider.

Hey Brock, It's Tom, the guy who bought your Achilles dingy. How awesome was it to buy boating stuff off Craigslist, and then find out it's from another local C-dory owner! So if you do swap boats, do it after the next CBGT :D - tom

Just remember those Chinns, Ampere, and Zooms don't have low temp charging protection. So a good deal, for the right use cases.

Don't forget the Zooms battery is identical to the Ampere and Chinns. I think Will Prowse said they are the same company? A 200ah Zooms is ~$680! https://www.amazon.com/Zooms-LiFePO4-Ph ... B094NLKWHP

I do like the NMEA2000 compatibility on my new BF100. Installed the HD-4 gauge yesterday (Sportcraft was out of it and shipped it to me when it came in) and also plugged in my Garmin Echomap UHD 94SV, and I can now see all my engine info on my Garmin. Next up is to set up the fuel monitoring.

I went from a dying 2001 BF90 to a 2021 BF100. I would have been fine with a new BF90, but the wait time in May was July for the BF100 vs Sept for the BF90. Sportcraft Marina in Portland, OR did the work. They said the BF100 will run on 87 octane, but not make 100hp. I was fine with that, as...

@jkidd You mentioned you'd go for the 18a over the 30a if you were doing it again, was that due to what your outboard realistically puts out? I have a new Honda BF100 and I'm trying to decide whether to go with a Victron 18a or 30a. Thanks.

hand rail location?

@ssobol - How have your Ikea wood tiles held up?

Thanks all!
