I notice if you find one log in the water you will often find others nearby. Seem to collect in certain places in the southern Gulf islands as an example. This year has been particularly bad. Lot's of debris just outside and north of Montague on the west side of southern Galiano for...

Not particularly happy with Raymarine support. I would post pictures of what they needed, but there would often not be a response for several days even after I post reminders. Could be they were stumped. I had a temporary work around of resetting the system to factory and sometimes that would...

I wish I had a bow thruster on my 25. When it is windy down here in the Delta (notice those windmills by Pittsburg/Rio Vista?), docking is "interesting". Once the wind comes across the bow, the bow falls off very very quickly. That is one of the major problems with the c-dory bottom - doesn't...

I noticed that interior lights would only stay on when the charger was on (hooked to shore power). Strange. Getting 13.6 volts or so at the house battery with charger on (original Guest) I believe. House battery is a 24DC-140 from Alliance. When charger is off, voltage would float down and...

I bought an axiom+ 9 RV in December for Xmas and installed in February. Charts were working well (lighthouse) for a few months and a few trips. Today, went down and turned on the mfd but not getting any chart detail. SD card "seems" fine (i.e when I pull the sd card out, the chart listing...

BTW - if you are visiting CA this summer in Vancouver area, be aware that rental cars are extremely limited in supply and quite expensive. Even renting off airport is difficult and limited. Not sure of the reasons, but we did change our plans and are now driving across vs flying. I don't...

I also recently installed this wireless radar and am happy with it. It seems to perform adequately, but I don't have much other experience for comparison. Installation was easy (it still took a good day when all was said and done). I had an older ipad (gps) that I use (I also have back up...

And exactly why did they discourage this? I was wondering the same... mounting the rv100 in a similar way and really use at no/low speeds when fishing or anchoring or in unsure waters...

Yes- I hope to be able to do that. Not sure where to put it since I have twin 90s.

Well - I did install the axiom+9 RV last weekend. Went fine. Bright screen, touch seems good with pinch mode supported as well. Hooked my P58 transducer with a converter cable and seems better than what I had with the old e7D. I do have the Rv-100 as well but I keep my boat in the water so...

This will be just temporary until I upgrade VHF next year sometime. I only have the old GPS handled fed into the horizon for DSC only. MFD has its own GPS which I hope should be very accurate.

The PRO does support 0138/2000 while the axiom non-pro only supports 2000. So, for example, I cannot feed the MDF GPS location into my legacy horizon vhf unless I get a fairly expensive converter cable (articsense iirc). I am going to deal with this by using an old hand-held garmin gps that...

Well I pulled the trigger on the axiom+ 9 RV with the RV transducer included. I also got a splitter so I can still work with the legacy P58. Should get to me in the next few days. I had an e7D. I do worry that the "touch only" could be problematic long term - we will see. The PRO models...

Thanks Jay - Did you get a NMEA2000 network kit to connect the axiom 9 and your GX2400? I am leaning toward the GX2400 just based on price as the I-COM is a bit more money. Was there a specific kit you used? And do you need to make sure the radio is on before starting up the axiom? (I have...

e7D doesn't power up. I noticed fuse was burned so replaced. Immediately blows again. So rigged up a test bed with battery and direct wired to the power pin with an inline fuse - and again simply blows so there must be an internal short in the unit. One worry with the axiom+ is it is touch...

OK - after some time away was able to get down to the boat and pulled the MFD e7d raymarine and cable. It was feeding GPS into an icom M-302 VHF unit as well (0183). I rigged up a motor cycle battery to the unit with a 10A inline fuse and bypassed the cable (I was hoping just the cable or...

e7D went dead in the middle of a trip last week out on the Delta. Anyway, I will spend a bit of time troubleshooting but think I will replace. Leaning toward an axiom+ 9" with a RV-100 transducer. Curious if anyone has this setup? I have a separate radar (ipad/first watch), and will keep...

This admin is much friendlier toward accepting immigration. I don't think anyone can seriously dispute that. And not sending those migrants back while waiting for adjudication of their case encourages more migrants to come. Invasion? Depends on your point of view. Huge impact at the border...

wrong area.

Exactly. I boat alone quite often. I rigged my mid-side fenders with a bottom "string" so I can pull them up on the side deck. I use the docking pole to help push the anchor from the forward hatch. I always wear a life jacket and remember that neutral is good - but I boat a lot in the delta...
