    Navionics for iPad

    All Ipads get data from cell sites via wifi, hotspots, or are individually enabled with their own data plan. Each cell site has a gps antenna. Your location is shown on a map if you get sufficient data from cell sites by any means, but not as accurately as you would with an internal GPS chip...

    Trailer Boat Centering System

    Big Mac, what keeps your spacers from floating away as you back the trailer in, or if the boat bumps while loading? Did you just make sure you had a snug fit, and that is all that is needed?

    Something here does not smell right.

    A low price. Low hours. Too good to be true and the owner is out of town. When he meets you at the boat, with registration in hand, that is when I would start negotiating.

    Need Help with New Side Guide Posts!

    On my trailer with bunks, I originally used a 2x4 with carpet to pry against the trailer to center my 22 after pulling to the top of the launch. I find it easier now to winch snug to the bow roller, then insert a 2' x 6" piece of high density closed cell foam between the fender on one side and...

    Killer Whale eats boy???

    Its not fake! This is a very major problem, especially in the PNW at certain times of the year. I'm sure I have heard from my brother's fiance's father's uncle, of many instances where children are nabbed by passing Orcas, but it is not often in the press because it would reduce the tourist...

    IPad 64G, WiFi, 3G, 1st Gen, $499, Target

    While I am challenged by most technologies that I cannot lay a 9/16" wrench on to fix, I do see the advantages that come with basic knowledge of current navigation and communication technologies related to our boats. I understand very little of the discussions such as this one, but I see the...

    How about...a Marinaut 25?

    The kind of head you need is where your head is. They are all ok. But last night, a balmy 73F on Lake Superior, using the porta potti at 2am in the cockpit, looking at the millions of stars in the clear sky with the nearly full moon, ...... just doesn't get any better than that. I would have...

    Fuse in the dashboard bilge switch?

    If installed correctly, it was installed as a seperate circuit, and there should be a fuse close to the battery, positive wire. Trace the positive wire from the pump to the battery.

    Changing gear lube while afloat

    While it can be done safely, as you change oil over water, remember that any sheen on navigable waters of the US must be reported to the Coast Guard. No matter how much is spilled, or what damage is done, there is potential criminal liability for any spill, no matter how small.

    Putting together a Great Lakes fishing Tackle Box (Advice)

    There is no short answer to your question about tackle. There are many different ways to fish in the Great Lakes depending on species, weather, location. Lake trout often deeper, while salmon shallower. VHS guidelines may limit your use of live bait. Some anglers use lead core line, and...

    CD22 Cabin Carpet Dimensions?

    I am on year 3 of Home Depot outdoor carpet, held down with two-sided carpet tape(the original tape), and it still looks great. My dimensions also vary slightly from reported. I taped one side, and set in several strips of tape, then cut the other side and ends to perfect fit from the top.

    My brother's CPAP machine will run for a week on a single charge on a deep cycle battery. I assume it is a 12V machine.
