Happy Birthday Dr. Bob! That sounds like quite the wonderful trip, and certainly the stuff of great memories. :) As Jim said, we'll have to share you with the Monaco forum, but I will continue to look forward to your posts here when you do stop by. I also just wanted to say how much I...

That came out very nice. Why did you switch to a shallower sink? Love the idea of a portable burner. Putting it away really gives you lots of usable counter space. --- mike

Hello Charlie. Check out Wilson's Cradle Plus. The Wilson folks tell me the Droid will work with that, and the chance of feedback is slim, unless you are within a foot or so of the exterior antenna. You have to leave the phone in the cradle at all times, so you would use a bluetooth headset...

Fellow electronics buffs, please check this out Now I am no expert in antennas. So someone please tell me how does this work without 1) negatively affecting the polar pattern of both radiators, and 2) without messing up the cell amp or the VHF radio. And yet, it's Digital, and they know...

It was indeed. :teeth Surely we can handle a little political humor here among friends, no? --- mike

Hey that's just great; very patriotic! Sorry to hear of the troubles though. But glad you got the stains out. --- mike

Talk to Tim at FloatOn. They make an awesome trailer. Every one who sees my boat, asks about the trailer. It really is impressive. --- mike

Hi Rick. I suppose that depends on whether I can get them close enough so that they show... "an unbroken light over an arc of the horizon of 360 degrees." [Rule 21(e)] Won't know until I try to find the right lights. But, I am still hoping I can find that elusive wrap-around all-round light...

Hi Larry. You are correct, the two lights positioned so that they appear... "as one light at a minimum distance of one nautical mile" [§84.17(c)] is a solution. It's my fall-back position if I can't find a more elegant solution. Your 135/235 degree solution might just work, as might the...

Thanks for the concern, but I think you may have misunderstood my intent. :) Admittedly, I probably should have been more clear. Let me try again: I am not looking for just any kind of wrap-around light. I am specifically looking for an all-round light that wraps around a pole. By...

Neat, but will not work in this application, as you noted. :) --- mike

The all-round light is the 360 degree white light that turned on while anchored or underway (on vessels our size). I was looking for one that wrapped around a pole so I could put something else on that pole above it. --- mike

Hello to all. Has anyone ever heard of an all-round light that wraps around a pole, instead of mounting at the top of a pole? I am looking for such a thing. --- mike

Thanks Charlie. That's what I needed. :) --- mike

Well that's a good question. How about the front of the cabin top to the back, minus the brow. Doesn't have to be exact, just close. --- mike

Hello to all. My TomCat is not here at the moment, but I need to work out a placement issue. Does anyone know the length of the cabin? --- mike

Hi Pat. If you end up buying one, I have the T3700 on my Float-On trailer for the TomCat. It seems quite substantial, but I also ratchet a 5500lb strap to the bow eye when towing. And two more on the stern eyes. I have not retrieved the boat with the winch yet, but don't anticipate that...

Joe, is self-amalgamating tape the stuff they call "rescue tape"? I don't remember how I stumbled on this site a while back, but I remember thinking it was a little too much like a product you would see advertised on late night TV. Anyone remember the Popeil Pocket Fisherman? --- mike

Hello Marc. I didn't see anything big enough there, but that is a great site. Thanks for sharing it. I think I'm going to try the one suggested by Jim and Matt. It looks like it might just do the trick. --- mike

Just ordered one of these last week. Last year, someone here posted a link to a story written by a father whose son died from current leakage from a boat near where the boy was swimming. Once I read that story, I promised myself that no boat I ever own will be without one of these. --- mike
