Here's a slightly higher-tech version of kitty litter, something I carry for emergency use since I don't typically do overnights: http://www.cleanwaste.com/ .

Dr. Bob: What about some methane gas from another body orifice? Have any comparative studies been done, methane vs. CO2? No shortage of either here...

I have never heard of this heater...can you supply a product link? Google has been less than helpful...is there perhaps a spelling error?

LEDs are wonderful, and my job in law-enforcement has seen them virtually replace xenon-strobes for vehicle lightbars in just the last four or five years. Part of that push has been to lower the visual profile of the assembly, so that the cop-car has a lower-profile signature...many cop...

"strobes", until very recently, meant xenon flash-tubes, like in a camera flash. Pulsed LEDs are now being called strobes...as much as technology moves on, some things are not equal, this being one of them. I think the ACR FireFly xenon strobe is still the gold-standard for use on a vest.

From my readings, it appears that mixed anodes end up causing one anode to protect another anode rather than protecting stuff attached to the boat. Aluminum anodes seem to be the best compromise for all types of water. Plus, aluminum anodes are what are used by virtually every outboard and I/O...

Their conclusion seems to be that aluminum anodes are the way to go, with zinc maybe not giving enough protection and magnesium giving over-protection...too much of a good thing in certain waters. When I first started snooping on this subject, I was totally confused about how an aluminum anode...

My understanding is that for fresh-water use, magnesium anodes are the appropriate ones to use, rather than zinc or aluminum. My understanding also is that the major outboard motor manufacturers currently equip their motors with aluminum anodes...both on the lower unit and for the internal...

Does the Navionics app for the iPad have maps for Lake Champlain, and does it finally support "course-up" rather than just "North-up"?

I've been an "armchair" pilothouse boat buyer for a while...I have recently bought waterfront property and am just timing my exit from my so-called career... I will be continuing to watch the progress of the Marinaut...I will be retiring to a place close to Montreal, so west coast boats are a...

Thank you. Yes, the boat at http://www.marinautboats.com/ Am I perhaps misunderstanding what this forum is about? Also, if that's actually this forum topic, I'm a little confused about "All Marinauts, All the Time" if there is actually only one Marinaut ever delivered...perhaps the forum...

Exactly how many Marinauts have actually been built and delivered to customers?

I bought one and found that the laser makes a great cat toy...way better than the $10 laser toy at PetSmart. And, for $6 more than the PetSmart one, I get a functional IR thermometer, as well. BTW, that cat's surface temperature has been running about 84*, unless she's been sunning herself...

I'm wondering why the Navionics app is North-up only...I prefer course-up which is why I dislike raster charts on a PC... Using OpenCPN with raster charts in course-up means that everything is sideways or upside down except when traveling North...very annoying. I would think Navionics could do...

I see it as the marine version of Pergo flooring, which I have zero love for. Maybe in a non-teak color. Is your non-skid damaged?

In my opinion, grossly over-priced for a boat of that age...the seller apparently thinks that the boat has been appreciating for 22 years. Loran-C, now there's a real incentive to buy the boat. The "ship-to-shore" radio is another orphan. I'd like to sample whatever he's smoking.

Bob- I would think you have more contingency funds than many of us have...and can afford to take greater financial risks. Like my brother in law... This is a 21 year-old boat, with a balsa-cored hull, and with bottom paint, meaning that you can assume that it has been slipped or moored for...

There is a C-Dory 16 Cruiser for sale almost within driving distance...I have never seen one of these up close and personal... My use would be on Lake Champlain, which gets nasty at times in terms of chop (recently over 6' waves, but they were predicted...) My primary concern with the C-Dory...

Silly me...my guess was that it was a semi-submarine loaded with cocaine...

If you think you will ever be in a position to sell it, go Honda for lower depreciation. Honda power products are easy to sell used, for top dollar.
