    A Professional Maritime Trainer's Rant

    Well he is right about most of it if not all of it. No one used paper charts unless they also own sundial, sextant and a lead and line for depth. Hey its cool to know how but useless on a day to day basics. How many of you can plot a track on you MFD? Change the depth alarms from 2 ft to 20 ft...

    Ok Susan and I are considering joining the side trip to Princess Louise. We have not been since 2006? So what day are we leaving and what is the planned route? Not that the weather will determine that at that time far more then we do. really looking forward to heading up that way again.

    Large dink - 25 Cruise Ship

    move the radar to a rod holder type arch. it will raise the radar and open up the roof space. that is what we have on the 27. allows for storage of rods or dock poles, deck brushes etc.

    Switching off power to Garmin reactor 40 autopilot

    PCG asked about slow speed travel, I had to read it twice. which is weird because that is when I would like to run my auto pilot the most. This is like a on going argument with a friend of Susan's. Susan would run the heat in here toyota with the windows half way down and her friend would...

    Switching off power to Garmin reactor 40 autopilot

    It may be less at idle but how much do you need. I run all of those items, radar and downriggers being the most power draw, plus a fridge on a different battery but charged by the same motors, and never had a low battery. Never not been able to start my 225 main after 8 hours of running just the...

    Switching off power to Garmin reactor 40 autopilot

    A honda 90 at idle puts out 35 amps to the battery. You or worrying about a none problems. many of the newer motors in this size range put out even more due to the high amount of electronic on boats today. bass and walleye fishing drive most of the tech requirements in these motors today...

    How heavy is your anchor on a CD25 or 26?

    yeah so, Chain is the bigger factor in anchor set then the weight of your anchor. a heavier anchor will set faster then a lighter one , but a lighter anchor with a lot of chain will set just as fast and better. its all about getting the angle of the rode as low as possible when you set the...

    Dingy launch

    I just do it by hand from the roof. Have a long lead rope tied to the bow of the dinghy. Turn the dinghy so the stern is hanging over the side edge of the roof. tilt the bow up until the stern is resting in the water. No lift the bow and the stern will float away from the boat as you lower the...
