    Lowrance Auto pilot

    Last weekend at the Channel Islands Landing in Oxnard, CA, one of the fellow boaters was complaining that his Lowrance Autopilot was still not working, and was very upset. That is the only information that I can supply.

    Simrad System vs ?

    I wonder if I would lose any functionality with the LCX as a second display? If I lost functionality say Chirp what would the older LCX be able to display and not display? This forum is fantastic!! Thank you one and all, Gratitude (Jim)

    Simrad System vs ?

    Steve, you have me thinking. Currently C Pelican has a Lowrance LCX -38c HD chart plotter. Would it be able to network with a Lowrance Gen 3? That would provide me with a second display. If so, is there any specific connectors that I would need? Many thanks. Gratitude (Jim)

    Simrad System vs ?

    OK, I am near ready to upgrade C Pelican's electronics, and am leaning toward Simrad. What I like about it other than price is pinch to zoom and knobs to change settings. I fish in S California Channel Islands for rock-fish, and our maximum fishing depth is about 300' due to Marine Protected...

    Window Restoration for 1992 Cruiser with Aluminum Frames

    Please refer to my album for pictures of this project. I could not figure out how to post them in this e-mail. First, I called Diamond Sea Glaze, and they were no help at all. They just referred me back to their web site to order replacement parts. However, they would not tell me what parts I...

    Unfortunately, I will not be able make the trip this year. The biggest reason, is that I have developed some minor electrical problems that must be corrected before I am comfortable making the 65 mile run from Oxnard. The second reason are work commitments. I will have to enjoy the trip...

    fishfinder for halibut

    I once attended a Fish Finder Seminar by a local fishing legend, Mark Wisch, here in S. CA. He indicated that with Furuno Units is is possible to change the fish marking feature to white, and then bottom zoom. As I recall, bottom will still show up red, and the fish should be shown in white...

    What did I do wrong? What should I do in the future?

    redbaronace when I slowed down to idle speed, I was about 1/4 mile from the Container Ship. I let it pass in front of me, and it was about 1/4 mile to my Starboard when I turned toward it. Lessons learned. Thank you one and all for your help, suggestions, and guidance. Have a wonderful Easter...

    What did I do wrong? What should I do in the future?

    Last weekend while heading offshore to Anacapa Island, and while in the Shipping Lane, I was on a collision course with a Large Container Ship. I chose to slow down, and wait for it to pass in front of me. The Container Ship was putting off a substantial wake - maybe 4'. Since I was previously...

    08/03 - 08/09 - 13th Annual Catalina Off-Shore Adventure

    This will be the first time that I have been to Catalina in C Pelican, so I have several questions: What are the implications if I have not yet acquired a dinghy to get to and from the shore? Is there a work around? Is there a shower available on shore, and how is the access? How far...

    I second Dr. Bob's recommendation for USAA. We recently received a 10 year, 100% loan on a 1992 Cruiser. The Marine Survey was the key.

    Wow, this group is amazing! Thank you one and all for your thoughts and insights. After mulling over the scope of responses, I will keep my 6 hp kicker.
