I did buy the XHD model and it's back ordered to ship on 10-18 from West Marine. No worries as I won't be installing until the whole Garmin setup comes in, the GPS MAP 4210 arrived yesterday and it's patiently waiting in the garage. The AIS is coming separately and the GSD 24 FISHING SONAR...

Why are these bulbs not designed to be the same dimensions? The fresnel lens may not be a glass lighthouse quality lens but its definitely not just there for looks its more complicated casting even if it is plastic. I cant believe DR led would put that bulb on the market. Really? Why don't...

That's not a lot of freeboard over the splashwell there Patrick!! :wink: :mrgreen: Charlie

Lucky here with the ETEC 90. I can run it on the lift out of the water with the hose connected to it. :wink: Charlie

Don't know if this is still a valid review but seemed good at the time... [2012] http://www.dogfencediy.com/wireless-dog-fence/ Probably many improvements since then. And probably cheaper than putting collars on all the other dogs to keep them out.. Charlie :roll: :cry :disgust

Dick, did you ever verify/fix this "problem"? Charlie

I don't joke about fire on a boat. I lost 9 sailors in an engine room fire on a carrier. An over sized fuse can cause a wire, somewhere in the circuit, to overheat. Overheating can cause melting of the insulation and, in extreme cases, fire. Hence my statement. Not always true but I'm...

find someone launching a big boat and give him $100 to launch the TC. Check your insurance....And make sure he hasn't been drinking... :roll: :shock: :thup Good luck, take pictures.. Charlie

Sunbeam, fuses are also there to protect the whole boat (think fire! :cry ) Charlie

Has anyone seen Dr. Bob on Thataway lately? Charlie

I'll bet on Roger! That's what I've always done, with all my Raymarine Drains... :shock: The closest negative bus bar will provide sufficient "british grounding" to your systems. Charlie :thup

Looks to me like the bracket you have might possibly be mounted upside down? :shock: :roll: I don't like the proximity between the engine an the trim tab either.. I plan to do the same as Sunbeam on Captain's Choice II once I get a Mini-Jacker and pick up my 6HP 4 stroke long shaft engine from...

I'm thoroughly impressed by the fact that you're fixing your fridge from 1200 miles away! :wink: :roll: :mrgreen: Also, continue to be impresed by the response of our fellow Brats! :thup Charlie

Haven't done this mod so I can't help yet. But I will when I get a ROUNDTUIT. BTW, may not be able to with your TANZER 22, most of us have stinkpots! And, while many of us have been blowboaters, only a few have retained that skill/funset!! Try this one...

You got that right Tom, commencing here again too, with electronics! :thup You'll find a taker for the engine. Talk with the dealer you're buying the replacement from, won't be as much but no shipping, etc, etc. All the PITA stuff and quicker too!.. :wink: Charlie

Sunbeam, great info and Colbysmith, great pictures. My 6HP is a 4 stroke which will tie right into the main (90 ETEC) gas line. Not sure yet if I'll tie steering in but the bracket is there on the ETEC Seastar setup. The mini jacker looks like the way to go, don't even have to pull the gas...

Key point Alexander.... a couple of years ago.... Charlie

And all my new Garmin electronics were a good deal at WM too with 2X gold points too. That should buy some extra goodies. It's a Boat US special. Charlie

Right on Sunbeam! :thup :D Maine Joe, not Main....Although you may be my Main Man as far as funny stories go... :mrgreen: Charlie

Bit the bullet here and bought all Garmin for Captain's Choice II. I will have my C-80 system, Autppilot, Radar etc for sale by late winter, early spring. It is a 2005 original install (by Les at EQ marine, I'm the second owner) and, while it would have done the job, I just craved something...
