I decided to get a Garmin Stiker 4 for $160. It was both the smallest and cheapest depth sounder I could find. I will also use Navionics on my tablet. That will give me a backup depth sounder in the future and more time to wait for sales and decide what I really want. Thank you everyone for...

Thank you everyone for so much insight. I totally agree about not wanting to mix manufacturers. If I choose the Garmin Chartplotter, I know I will need to get a Garmin autopilot. If I choose the Ray Marine or Lawrance autopilot for future upgrade, I will get a Ray Marine or Lawrance chart...

New Nappa Part Number is 6-1233. I just bought one and it fit perfect. Just snap off and snap on.

Nappa Part Number 6-1233. I just bought one this morning and it was easy to replace and fit perfectly on my 1999 cruiser with manual wipers. Some earlier posts listed the part number as 60-1233 and when I went to Nappa, I was told that was the old part number and the number is 6-1233.

Windshield Wiper Replacement

Yes, there is a power button on the top right corner, but it is the only button. I meant there weren't any function buttons. I will try the reset. That would be great if it worked.

I haven't tried what you described, but I have been following the instructions from Garmin Support. I will try your master reset and hope for the best. Thank you so much for the instructions. My plotter has only a touch screen with no buttons anywhere and because the touch screen won't work...

Mark, thank you for the update on Tofino. I am considering going, but I haven't mustered the courage to tow my boat over that road yet, but I think I might. I just need a tiny bit of motivation at the moment. Did you anchor out during your week in Claquot Sound? Were there lots of places...

I am considering the West Coast of Vancouver Island this month or next month but I would rather go with another boat. Is anyone planning to explore that area this year?

I am looking for a Chart Plotter. My Garmin Echomap 70s touch screen quit working after I did a recent recommended update. They have been discontinued and Garmin says it is not not fixable because they don't have any parts for it and they can't undo an update. I bought it in 2015. Yes, I have...

That is exactly what happened to me. However, the joy of having twin motors is that I just came home slower than I would have chosen. But, I did come home even though I wanted to stay out longer.

I just think of myself having a very expensive tow bill because I didn't know that I just had to push a button to start the engine.

Thank you so much for the tips AND THE PICTURES. I really, really appreciate the suggestions and I feel far more confident to go back out on the water. I will be going out in a couple of days to see how it works and if I a problem again I will know what to look for. Thank you, thank you, thank...

Thank you for that explanation. It is one less thing for me to worry about, but none the less, I am going to get the battery situation fixed. I'm still not sure why they were joined. Mechanical breakdowns and maintenance on the boat are still my biggest challenges. I don't know enough about...

I have no idea what a charge coil is or does. Is it possible that a damaged charge coil could cause the motor to not start when it is warm? I have twin Honda motors. A friend - without my permission - hooked both my batteries up in parallel for some reason that I don't understand. So basically...

I hope it might be as simple as that. I hate intermittent problems, but I will see if that helps. However, I am still open to other suggestions so I have more things to try. But, now I am more motivated to go out and test it out again. Thank you os much for the suggestion. It started doing...

Joe, thank you for all the questions. When I turn the key, the guage on the dash does move so I know there is power getting to the ignition, but I don't really hear a click. I did wiggle the wire around the kill switch when it first happened and that didn't seem to make a difference, although...

I know this is an old thread but it answers some of the questions that I would ask. I want to add an "Add-a-Battery" kit, but I have twin engines that would both be running at the same time. Would I wire them the same way as in the diagram? Can I have two engines running at the same time...

I have twin Honda motors on my boat. I never had any problems starting them until this week. I ran both engines for about an hour and then stopped for gas. When I tried to start the motor, nothing happened - the starter did not make any noise. It was almost like it was not even connected but...

Although Canada welcomes US boaters, Canadians cruising into the US must buy a "cruising licence" for $19 USD. The licence lasts for one year.
