My windlass came with breaker, relay and dashboard controller switch. You still have to buy wire, connectors, etc.

Seems reasonable to me. I got the same windlass and installed it fairly recently. I actually got the "pro fish" version of the windlass, but that's just a variation that allows the anchor to free fall. Everyone is going to have different opinions on the makeup of the rode and of course it also...

Screens? I have no screens. :( I was assuming I'd have to DIY something up with screen-type material and snaps or velcro or magnets or something. What are these screens you speak of? Did they come with the boat from the factory or were they added on (if so, what's the source)? I have an older...

Appreciate the thoughts, ssobol & Bob J. I can understand the purest "if it's so great, why didn't the manufacturer add it in the first place?" point of view - but my goodness, just look at our C-Dorys for the answer to that point. Are there any two on the planet that are exactly alike after...

I can see the comparison to Permatrim... and Permatrim definitely does a better job cosmetically with paint match and so on - but the vertical rudder fins are much bigger than what they have on the Permatrim... that's what intrigues me, I suppose, as a significant boost in low speed handling...

I'm educating myself a bit on hydrofoils like Permatrim and so on and ran across a company named Uncle Norm's Marine Products. Does anyone here have experience with these products? I'm intrigued with the design - it's more than just a hydrofoil, it also has prominent downward "rudders" that are...

The metal strip I spoke of is on the outside, you should be able to see it. It helps protect against damage for people who want to beach their boat. My assumption is that it goes the length of the keel, but I haven't verified that - will take a look when I'm out there later today. I'm not sure...

Yes, that is correct (location). And your comment here leads me to believe that we might be talking about different types of transducers - I wouldn't be surprised if I'm not using the right terminology or something. His transducer penetrates the hull and can be seen on the outside (there's also...

How timely for this to pop up...

8-plait to chain splice

Previous owner (my dad) mounted a through-hull transducer at the floor of the helm (forward of the seat... where your feet go; kick space of whatever it's called). Seems to be a good place to me. He was having some sort of issue with the transducer itself and bought a new one with the intention...

Is that Garmin the 12" screen? It looks like it. That's exactly where mine is going, but it's going to be a bit of a project to get it there. I have a '91 and there's a "hump" in the dash that needs to be removed... curious what your process was to get it there - did you do the work or...

The iPhone 12 Pro Max has lidar. I'm not sure how much app support they have for it yet, but I'm looking forward to what people come up with!

OK... nice thread on autopilot-ish stuff... I'm still catching up on my first round of new gadgets, but I have already wondered about an autopilot and I like the arguments "for" them... so it might be in my future at some point. When I bought my MFD, I checked to make sure that is was...

Honestly I don't know what it is, Bob. As I mentioned above, it was harder to get through than I expected... but I've got limited experience with these materials in the first place. Here are pictures of the hole and the core that came out of it... thickness ranges from approx 3/4 to 7/8 thick...

Anchor Drain Hole

Anchor Drain \"core sample\"

Excellent, thank you. I missed that one.

Ohhh... very interesting thought... I've actually been thinking about Flex Seal recently as well but have never used it. What made it come to mind with me was the cockpit deck. If I get down on my hands and knees and look where the deck meets the bulkhead, I can see what looks like super fine...

It took some guts, but I'm no longer a thru-hull virgin... did my locker drain today and happy with the results so far. I'm actually pretty surprised at how firm the balsa core is - my only previous experience with balsa was the really light and fragile stuff used in model airplanes. Anyway, I...
