FISH; Sorry we did not hook up at the boat show. Steve and I went Friday about 1215 and stayed till abt 1350. There wasn't anything I would even consider; especially with the prices I saw. There was a large collection of open fishing and pontoon boats. The Brunswick Line was well represented...

Bill/Dick - Every spring and fall I ask the question of will I sell this year. I am weighing that very question again with health issues gaining along with my age (72). I'm now sporting a cane, but still able to get around -just can't stand or walk for extended times and stairs are now my...

Fish; If you get down to the Va. Beach area after the "ice is off the creek" I'd be happy to take you out on a CD25; else, we can kick the rails with it on a work rack at the marina(Marina Shores) at most anytime their open. It is larger than the CD22 but it does have the enclosed head and...

We purchased a snap kit from WM- http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/st ... sNum=50699 The main tool is a set of vice grips with "guides" for different sized snaps that mount on the jaws of the vice grips. I was able to figure it out in short order and only had 2 messed up attempts due to...

As I understand it in the older C80 displays with the 2/4KW units the cable length would impact the timing of the system and a recalibration has to be done. the setup procedures address this. As to the SeaTalk (older version) I have spliced it without any problems using the technique already...

IMO, I don't see any problem if done as you say. Don't forget to label the cable for future reference. Art

Please don't let me affect the dates. If all goes well I will see you all at the NC Visitor's Center, whether via boat or car. Art

Charlie, Isn't it great to still be on the honeymoon after all our breakin time and training? Congratulations, Charlie. Does the wife also get a metal? Art

Our family was not available for Christmas, but we did have a great steak at the local DENNY'S where we ran into a long time friend from my old Navy days; who is also a liver transplant survivor. What a blessing, priceless. I already got an early present of 2 new ham radios(2Meters, one for the...

Bob; In researching my antenna project I found this CU , 2" strap; http://www.dxengineering.com/parts/dxe-cs2-50 Thought you may find it interesting as to availability and cost. Art

Just a thought outside the box: The use of CU screen in the cabin, like we use to use in screen rooms for RF secure areas. I suspect that lining, and bonding, the cabin walls and inside roof would give us a good radar signature as well as some RFI coverage. This screen could be covered over...

Bob; Plumber's tape is available at Home Depot here. It is 3/4" plated steel strap with holes abt 1" apart as I remember. It comes in 25' lengths. I best check their web site for sure. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Oatey-3-4-in ... /100344678 I'll have to look for the CU plated. I don't remember...

Hi Bob, et all; I presently have an ICOM 706MKIIG with the AH-4 Remote tuner at the home driving a 47' long wire. I plan to drive an "EAGLE ONE" 31' portable vertical ant. to replace the long wire. I then plan to replace this setup and move this '706/AH-4, only, to the CD25. I have a full set...

For the C-Brat ham radio ops, what HF antennas are you using and where? Art

Not sure how the new Raymarine fish finder would work, but the demo in WM was impressive last week with its refined detail. Art

From Sea Angel, in Va. Beach, on the Right Coast in Virginia: We wish all you C-Brats and your families a happy, healthy and prosperous holiday and year to come. May your fish locker be full, your lines not fouled and you have following seas with light winds to calm your souls. Best wishes...

With a soft cover you could also use a combination of snaps and Velcro. Art

Charlie; It is great to see you & Sally are back in the wet. I'm looking forward to see what projects you are going to throw at the TBA named CD22. This must be a support the economy week. 2 weeks ago I purchased a new 2Mtr, FT2900R, ham radio; I liked it so much I bought a second...

Charlie! You did what??? Another CD-22? :D :D Glad to see you're back on the water. It looks like your sea legs will be happy again. Now, what kind of projects are on the boards after you christen the 'new' CD22 with the new burgee? Why not add one for each CD you have owned over the...
