Wondering if our northern neighbors have avoided the Ethanol scam -- i.e, do I need to use Sta-Bil with Canadian gas? Thanks, Warren

Note just for clarity that the discussion here is about older motors, with actual carburetors. Newer motors all have fuel injection and AFAIK running dry is never necessary with FI. Warren

I personally am not insured with them (I have a "yacht policy" with Ace) but many members swear by Progressive. Warren

HERE is more info from DeLorme. Warren

Jay, you should talk to Jeffrey Siegel at Active Captain because, don't forget, he is advertising Active Captain compatibility with eSeaChart on the iPhone/iPad and everyone knows that Steve Jobs hates Flash so any iPhone or iPad app will by definition be Flash-free. jeff@activecaptain.com is...

Jay, where did you find the above? I went back to the ActiveCaptain website and to the eSeaChart website and could not find it. The reviews on the Apple iPhone app store made no mention of such a limitation but did mention problems in getting charts to quilt seamlessly. Nothing about needing...

This thread was spun off from an existing SPOT thread at member request. The original post: Warren

Certainly a better deal than the previously-announced Active Captain iPhone product, from Navimatics. That one costs $24.99 for just the West Coast, as opposed to $7.99 for eSeaChart and all NOAA charts. It has received mixed reviews on the app store, but I already have the Navionics app, which...

DeLorme is now coming out with a 2-way Iridium-based satellite text messaging system that works either with their PN-60w GPS or an Android smartphone. More HERE. Warren

He told me that the problem could not always be reproduced so I went ahead and bought some from Fisheries and will see if they affect my boat. Warren

The 2 Raymarine E-80s on my Tom Cat have been increasingly been refusing to play nice with each other (not recognizing the master/slave relationship, spontaneously rebooting, etc.) The guy who sold them to me (very knowledgeable vendor) told me there were two possibilities that I should...

You might check to make sure there is no water intrusion into the motor of the windlass. I sent Tom Herrick a busted windlass that exhibited the same symptoms, that I knew suffered from water damage, and he got it running after going through the motor. Warren

SeaHawk SmartSolution, on the hull and on the bracket. Warren

Bob, I paid a heck of a lot less than $1100 for my SkyMate 200. Can you say "bargain basement price"? :lol: Warren

When I went to this vendor to check out this paint I saw that they advertise a high level of copper. When I got my TC painted the first time, back in 2007, I was told that if I used copper paint on the aluminum bracket I would be inviting galvanic corrosion and that I should use a different...

I remember now that the wing deck is the "top" of the tunnel. Yes, I have bottom paint there as well as on the Armstrong bracket waterline. It is tricky, especially with copper-based paints, because the bracket is aluminum. NP with the new green paints. Warren

Matt, by "wing deck" do you mean the Armstrong bracket? Warren

I also use the 8" fenders and carry 4 of them. I have been meaning to get one of those round orange or white fenders for use as a pivot point, and rafting, as Jim suggests. Any of you Tom Cat owners have suggestions as to a good size? Warren

Casey, I am pretty sure you can turn the radio off in your iPhone and still talk to Bluetooth. Warren
