Hot on the Pac Coast this time of year. We spent two weeks in a nice villa/hotel on the Caribbean side a couple of years ago and gave up on the heat! Lots of day trips but didn't rent a car, just went with tour drivers and a private car, very nice. Charlie

According to the tickets I got for the Boat Show, it will close on Superbowl Sunday, I suppose so they can put it on the Jumbotron. We will be long gone by then, I'll watch it in the comfort of my home! That game was wet and wild! Charlie

Thanks Roger. Got a menu or how do we (can we) select? No problem if it's fixed, just curious. Charlie

What sort of "plug" are you talking about? Electrical, shore power, transom drain or what? Charlie

THanks Pat! Seawolf Joe and I will be there! We're in the hotel by the stadium and he is driving. We may try to ride with Roger if he gets a van or ride with him if he doesn't and has room! See you in a couple of weeks! Charlie

What is the street address (gps) for the brewery dinner on Friday night? Pat Anderson? Charlie

Go see USS MISSOURI (BB63) oh wait, my bad, I was in charge of having her towed out in 1981 to reactivate in Long Beach Naval Shipyard . :oops: Seriously though, good recommendations above, use ships facilities as much as you can, use Welfare and Rec department stuff as much as possible, save...

Wish they both fit the 90 but I don't think they do. Charlie

My bad. BEP they are. I'll try all the screws, many thanks! Charlie

These must be mini. There are 4 "modules", three on/off (one house, one start and one combine) and one VSR. The whole shebang is about 6" on a side, each switch (and VSR) being about 2 1/2" square. I didn't see a photo on the website. The knob, on the house switch (only one tried this far)...

I have a 4 assembly blue seas battery setup and, after removing the turn button on the top and two screws supposedly holding the cover down on of them, it doesn't want to budge. Does it simply pry off or am I missing something? Don't want to break the plastic cover but I need to take off a...

Partly cloudy here in Va but 15 yo grandson and I finished pulling all the electronics and Wallas out of our 22. Thank goodness for the stamina and dexterity of youngsters! Les at EQ Marine did a great install in 2005, hope the new Garmin stuff goes in easier! Great day with oldest daughter...

They work fine, I'd like mine to have an indicator to see what position they are in, may add that. Don't have a permatrim on my ETec 90 either. Charlie

Having had two Tc255's , one with A/C, I can assure you that it will cool the boat well in the hottest of weather. We used a Honda EU2000 on the Armstyong bracket to run it underway. Happy hunting! Charlie

Started pulling Raytheon electronics off to ship to those that bought it. It's gonna be harder than installing new stuff, EQ Marine did a great job in installation in 2005! Have to use a ladder in the cockpit to get the radome off b/c of the backward tilt of the high arch, awkward to say the...

Don't forget that if it's coupled with the Main with a link, you can steer with your wheel or if not you can use the Main as a "rudder" and get some steering. The throttle is another issue which most folks, in the take home mode, don't worry about until they get very close to that home pier...

I slept right thru yesterday afternoon and totally missed this :roll: Hope everyone had a great day, I look forward to seeing many of you at SBS 2015! Seawolf Joe and I are sharing a room and a ride and will get up to see Dusty :lol: :thup Charlie

Thanks Roger, is there a block of rooms reserved or is it kinda pot luck? Charlie

Yes he did and, based on his observation, I made nonrefundable reservations for the wrong dates... Fortunately for he and I both, I looked at the Brats thread and realized it within 24 hours and Travelocity changed it for me with no penalty (other than $13 for a booking fee). What motel will...

Congratulations Doug! It was a nice boat! Charlie
