Hi, I’m starting to think about having a boathouse built to store my CD 22’ and also some other things I have acquired over the years, ATV, small zodiac, utility trailer, etc. Right now I’m thinking of something about 40 ft long 30 ft wide and 12 feet high. My CD 22’ has a radar mast and on the...

Here is a measurement diagram link. Sorry it is so long, but just cut and paste it. http://www.google.com/imgres?q=anti-cav ... x=88&ty=53

I replaced the bolt on my Suzuki 115DF last week and luckily was able to get it out with a little help with an extension on my Allen wrench. It’s a 2007, built in 2006 with 100 hours. Had corrosion on the bolt and the end of the treads were starting to go. Replaced it with the $18 aluminum...

Well I talked to Raymarine and got my own question answered. It is so simple, that I’m almost at a loss for words. It seems the S1000 only talks SeaTalk1 (Nema 0183). Does not work with SeaTalk2 (Nema 2000). That being the case, and the fact that my GPS 125 is already connected to the SeaTalk1...

Hi I just bought an Raymarine S1000 Autopilot and I’m trying to figure out how it get connected to my E80 and also whether the S1000 can receive the GPS data via the E80 or the controller has to be directly connected to the Raymarine 125 GPS via the NMEA 2000 backbone? What I have today is the...

Anyone know if the new replacement parts, now Suzuki part number 09248-18010 (plug) and 09160-18031 (gasket) are Aluminum or still stainless? I just ordered replacements, but if they are going to give me the same problem, i'm going to cancel the order and just get them from the ebay guy...

Anyone ever try to use these types of Battery Switches and VSR combos? They seem to imply that this is a dual VRS, with an emergency high capacity override that duals the batteries for an engine start. In looking at the diagrams, I can’t see any way that they can duals the batteries, unless they...

I just spoke to them. They opened the new store on Friday, but have not moved all the stock out front, so that is why it did not look open. Seems like all is well. Jim

Hi, I like your setup and wish I had the room to do anything close to what you have. When I was looking at buying a CD, I always liked the Venture for the extra room and layout. The extra foot and the bigger beam helps a lot. Unfortunately, there was not Venture close to me on the east coast...

Funny thing I saw several weeks ago that the web site was up and they had a new location. I drove down yesterday to check out the location and see the new place. The location is on the main street in Keyport, not real close to any water (1 mile) so I don’t think here will be an issue, and if...

Great, thanks. I'm OK with not having a backup for the House that I can switch to. If I have to later, i'll see if i can fit another switch, so I can flip between them in an emergency. It's just so tight in the locker, that anything you want to add is a chore. Yes I wanted to get the House off...

That is kind of what I have today. I have an intergrated breaker/switch with #6 wire that goes to the main house block, but the battery swicth also controls power to the breaker/switch. I just want the battery switch to control which battery i use to start the engine with. The VRS will keep both...

I found these mini guides. http://www.amazon.com/Shipshape%C2%99-B ... +for+boats

I’ve been trying to deal with kind of the same issue. I would like to actually isolate one of my two batteries as the house battery and also have it available as a backup, just in case I need the extra juice for a both engine start. I currently have a BEP Bidirectional VSR which will always...

Did not seem to get all that great reviews on the HD site.

I looked them up. they are a Indian company and looks like a smaller version of Tata, At least you will know a head of time you will be talking to India for support. Here is their link. www.excelgenerators.com

Yep, I usually order a few years worth of stuff in advance for my 115 as my boat is in Canada and I bring the parts and the oils up with me. Hopefully they will find another location to function out of and they had flood insurance. They had an engine shop also. It's a mess all along the coast...

For those of you that own Suzuki OB's, Browns Point was destroyed in the Sandy storm. I went past the building this Sunday and not much is left. Here is a link to their web site. Very sad. http://www.brownspoint.com/ Jim :cry:

Nope they shut the service down, I think two years ago and the South Shore of Nova Scotia is really having a hard time because of it. So its drive, fly or use your boat to get to NS now. Jim

Hi Guys, just so you know there is no ferry from Maine to Nova Scotia anymore. I have a summer home in Nova Scotia, in Prospect Bay, two bays over from St Margret’s. I have a float dock with power and water. Depending on when and if you plan this trip and whether I am at my home, you would be...
