    Radar wiring - install help

    I looked at mounts but really want to keep this low on the roof. Anyone try using something like Azek (a PVC based material but supposedly weather resistant as it is used for exterior trim?) to form a base? I am a bit worried after looking at the boat yesterday while out fishing that there is...

    Radar wiring - install help

    Great! Are you re-using your current radar mount? I am probably going to just use a wedge as I want to get as much under bridge clearance as possible as I boat a lot in the delta.

    Radar wiring - install help

    Upside down it appears. Shows how much they care. :) Curious- why do people use separate fuse blocks with panels that already have breakers or fuses? I can see if a breaker panel then may be you want a fast acting fuse (non-mechanical) - but otherwise why don't people just use panels with...

    Radar wiring - install help

    I wonder if this might be a quick alternative. 3 toggles with 5A fuses each. https://www.rehberl.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=26867

    Radar wiring - install help

    It seems like simplest way would be a toggle switch as you show and simply wire it to a new fuse box (since my 12 fuse box is full). That way I keep the cig lighter ( I have another next to it as well), and have fuse space for the future. Can I simply wire the new fusebox in parallel to the...

    Radar wiring - install help

    Hi all - I am looking at putting in a radar (1st Watch Wireless) and am trying to figure out how to add a switch so that I can turn it "on/off" from the panel at the steering area. SPST I suppose. The front "rocker" switches next to the steering column are full, and so is the fusebox (12...

    Bad battery?

    Twin hp90 (bf90a, carb) on c-dory 25. Starboard started right up. Port - "click click click" very rapid and loud. I figure solenoid or starter. Switch the emergency "parallel" on and started right up,. Battery is old - no punch out on the battery (new to me boat), but highest year was 2014...

    Electoral college?

    So what would be your response to a conservative voter in my state of Washington? Push for splitting the electoral vote of your state by popular vote. Sure, it won't be quite perfectly exact as I don't think you can do fractional electors, but it is close enough. And, again, way easier to do...

    Electoral college?

    ... conversations. Again, there is a way to change the constitution. Hard though. It is not an issue of Republican or Democrat as the tables could turn (California, as an example, used to be a consistent Republican vote back in Reagan era and earlier for two decades). It is simply about...

    Electoral college?

    If you don't like the electoral college then simply change the constitution. There is a process for that and it has been done. If I were a small state, I would not agree (and states need to agree - 3/4 IIRC) since it would limit their influence. I also don't see it as of any benefit as then...

    US/CANADA BORDER WILL STAY CLOSED UNTIL...

    I mean the mess of "politicizing the virus" will be over. Not that the virus will disappear. I did not make that clear. Certainly, even in the 1918 pandemic, there were various outbreaks over the next 2-3 years (and some claim longer). Either way, the point is a decision will be made...

    US/CANADA BORDER WILL STAY CLOSED UNTIL...

    By both sides and it is far more nuanced. The fact is, if BOTH U.S. political parties actually cared they would note that for the US, obesity itself is a high correlation to covid susceptibility ( mortality). We should as well encourage Vitamin D, etc... We don't live a healthy lifestyle - that...

    2005 Honda 90 - which prop?

    I have a CD25 with twin honda 90hp. BF90A. Here is a snapshot out of water from a while back: Does this look too low by an inch or so? I guess I need to get out and check. I believe the prop is 13.25x17. I always put the motors full down from the helm control and use the trim tabs to...

    2006 honda bf90a, tach/hour issues

    Replaced the starboard tach and hour meter is working fine now. I had checked all the connections, etc.. and the old one was still "blank". So I think the culprit was indeed the tach unit itself. Thanks everyone.

    2006 honda bf90a, tach/hour issues

    Removed terminals, cleaned as best I could, checked that with ignition "on" I was getting voltage to the unit (12v or so) - same as on the port tach. Still no display for the hour meter. I guess time to replace. Thinking same unit best otherwise it wouldn't match to the port tach. Anyone...

    2006 honda bf90a, tach/hour issues

    Hi - I have been seeing random tach errors on my port engine. It will be at 3500 cruising then jump up to 6k, back down, then just wildly fluctuates. Engine is not changing rpm based on what I can hear. It has been going on for a year, but not too annoying as most of the time it works fine...
