Has anyone found a good, loud (and deep sounding) horn since the last post here?

We have the garmin 9sv unit on order, but we also want to change out our 6 or 7 year old icom vhf. So have been researching, and the more I research, the more confused I get :) If someone can direct me to a helpful post, or maybe I need to just start a new one :) If we were to get the...

ATPNW, thanks! Steve, once again thanks for your input, think we're going to do it :) - Karen

thanks, in what way was the 51 better suited for ocean trolling?

Also, I'm surprised that the display is only 480 x 800 pixels. Is that common in this price range? Sorry, relative newbies here :)

The Garmin Echomap UHD 94sv (ocean water maps) recently came on sale at West Marine online for $699 (down from 899) and we're intrigued. We have an 10+ year old Raymarine we were thinking of replacing. But when I went to the actual Garmin site, it says the unit is discontinued, and the new...

For our new to us 16' - fish cutting station with poles attached at the back, and a sunbrella "bra" for that front roof stripe that always fades...

roof \"bra\"

fish cutting station

I don't reply here unless I have something to add, except in this case...OMG! :)

Told my husband and son that a whale hit was the only thing that concerned me....they laughed so hard. Thanks for the backup lol - Karen

On a 16' cruiser, you need all of the space you can get :) We bought this childrens potty a few months ago, and I had the need to try it out this last week. We have a regular porta potty, but for day trips, which is all that we do, it just takes up too much space. This was excellent for me -...

mini potty for 16\' cruiser

Thanks, did both. No non ethanol fuel anywhere near here :) We use Mr. Filter when we get our gas, not sure if it helps or not, but can't hurt :)

What we may regret is getting a short shaft instead of long, it sits so high in the water. We'll see :)

Thanks, no, we're not giving up on the 5hp, we don't want any more weight aft than we have to. We'll make it work :)

Thanks, Steve, we have one on order, we thought we'd give it a try. At least we'll have an extra prop :) Thanks for all of your past advice, hope you're right about this too (I think you probably are :)

Earlier this year I posted questions about the best kicker for a 16' cruiser, and got a lot of great advice, as usual. We ended up getting a short shaft 5hp Mercury (our main is a 50hp Merc), and went out for the first time yesterday. We were running in a river that feeds into the ocean, and...

thanks folks, we replaced the imploded float and associated parts (still $150 but better than $1k for the whole unit), and it runs great again. Thanks Jennykatz for the possible cause, it's a mystery to us still, but will look at the lift pump as a potential cause. The motor is an original...

Our Mercury 50hp (2006), running great until a few weeks ago, started spewing fuel. On taking it apart, it appears that the float inside the VST has either imploded or exploded! :) We've ordered the parts to fix it, but wonder if anyone has any idea why this might happen? thanks! - Karen
