    Veteran's Day 2012

    Chuck, How right you are about 40 years ago. I had just started my Air Force career as a brand new 2Lt. Traveling in uniform was something you didn't do. It started to change in the 80's and after 91, it had made a complete 180. Thanks to everyone on active duty today for keeping watch...

    Chartplotter Display - How Big is Too Big?

    Chuck, I actually run split screen on my tablet with Coastal Explorer. I have one set for big picture and the other set for detail as fits the situation. I run my C-80 which is mounted overhead running sonar on one side and engine instruments on the other. I don't know if you can split...

    Chartplotter Display - How Big is Too Big?

    Peter, I have used a 12 inch tablet on a RAM mount at the helm of both a CD22 and CD25 without any problem with blocking the view out the front. That's a bigger footprint than the Garmin you are looking at. The bigger challenge will be cable routing and where to put the other boxes that go...

    Water in the Hull????????????????????????

    I don't think there is a continuous bulkhead across the beam between the stern to the bow. If there is water in the bilge and the bow is down, then that water can flow along the cabinets and along the dinete and end up in the bow area. What bulk heads that are there are penetrated by a hose to...

    7.7 Quake in BC

    Bob, You are dead on the lack of surveying since the 64 earthquake and the notes on the charts attest to it. The amount of uplift in the Montague Island area is impressive. If you go back into the trees off the beach, you can find the pre-64 high tide line back 40 to 50 feet and 6 to 9 feet...

    Buying a C-Dory

    We are in the process of up sizing again after 3 years in the CD25 and are torn with what to do with it. We would really like an east coast boat and we may downsize from the 25 back to a 22 on the east coast. The main reason is the simplicity and economy of the 22 plus it is just a plain fun...

    Newbie Questions about Engine size for 22

    Terry, I think if you took a poll, you would find it 80/20 in favor of a 90 over a 70. Power when you need it, and not much difference in weight or fuel economy. Having had a 22 for 5 years, I couldn't imagine it with a 70 in a following sea needing to climb up a wave. Tom

    I hate HughesNet!

    Charlie, Look at Exede or Gen4 HughesNet which is just being installed. Exede offers 3 Mbs upstream and 12 Mbs down. 7.5GB per month is $60 and you can buy packages up to 25GB ($139 I think when you include the equipment lease). You can buy addtional GB for $9.99 each. It is structure...

    Fuel issues?

    One addtional thought, if the debris looks like small black flecks, then the fuel lines may have degraded. With the addtional of ethanol to fuel, I would consider that a real possibility as my understanding that is one of the first things that happens when you run ethanol blended fuels through...

    Why You Need a Kicker!

    Tom, I did the same thing with a 1964 VW1500. The alternator would work sometimes, the starter was bad, and the 6 volt battery was marginal. I pushed it to start, hoped the alternator/battery would get me to where I needed to go, and parked on hills. I really believe the battery would last...

    Another option for those who always need to be in touch...

    I have been using one for the last couple of months and can't complain. The short amount of data in a text message means they get through pretty fast making the "chat so to speak seem like regular text service on your cell phone. We have used a spot that past 4 years and don't think we will...

    Secrets of Raymarine

    Jay, I don't know if the E80 is the same as the C80, but once the magnetron warms up, you have to briefly touch the power button, then on the lower left a menu option shows up to turn on the transmitter. It sounds like it works correctly.
