That's sad Colby. Raymarine SHOULD sell a small card reader that plugs into the NMEA 2K network to do updates. That way NO MFD would be required. I guess this situation is INTENTIONAL on Raymarine's part. Garmin has a fix for this situation: I'll be curious to know how much...

My p70R recognized my GArmin 740 AND the Simrad NSS I recently added. I installed mine in June 2014 and have NOT updated any software. Keep trying. It seems strange it won't 'see' your 840 on the network. Does the 840 "see" any of the RAymarine AP components on the n2K network? There's a...

Hello Colby, Good work so far! Now to work out the 'bugs.' With N2K network powered 'on' try doing a reset through the Ray p70r. Perhaps this will help it 'see' BOTH garmins on the network. If not, the UNPLUG the one it does see and force it to find the 840. I believe you are FINE doing...

Hello Mark, You DEFINITELY want to "drill, fill, drill" on your TT installation. I would drill a OVER-SIZED hole (like 3/8 or even 1/2"), coat the edges of exposed core material with neat epoxy, then fill the hole with thickened epoxy. Filling the hole is easier said than done since the...

Hello Peter, Posts on C-brats can be edited for a short time. FOR SALE posts CANNOT be edited at all. To do what you want, simple REPLY to the EXISTING for sale ads you posted in Jan 2015. That way the loop is closed WITHIN the thread rather than starting a new, disconnected thread which is...

The V6 EcoDiesel is currently available in the Grand Cherokee. For AT LEAST 2014 and 2015 model years if not before then. So, you are in luck! Fair Winds and Diesel Power, david

Hello Colby, That situation is lousy - the situation being that Raymarine offers NO WAY to update the AP software without a connected Raymarine chartplotter or MFD. This situation becomes important when you read the support forum...like you quote above...and one of the MOST COMMON...

I have found the EV1 sensor to be MORE sensitive to magnetic fields than the old black cylindrical heading sensor that was supplied with Raymarine APs. That's just MY experience, however. Being able to see the LED on top of the EV1 is handy; what color is showing; whether it is blinking, etc...

SEA3PO Oil aspiration from ABOVE is the way to do it. That's how most marine dealers I've checked with handle the task. Many top European cars are serviced with aspirators from above. SRBAUM has the right idea! I started out with a 6 QT capacity unit for my diesel Passat; but now use an 8...

Hello Alexander, I don't know ANYTHING about Sea Tech trailers. But I'll tell you what I like... One of my previous boats was a Cape Cruiser 23 (like a CD Venture 23); it came on a Magic Tilt Trailer. That was by far the nicest trailer I've had the privilege to own and use. My boats live on...

Hello Colby, Before you carve up your helm, consider using a RAM mount for the p70R. I used something like this I mounted the control head to a small board which was mounted to the RAM assembly. You could fix the base to the righthand side of the dash and then adjust it's height to your...

Hello Colby You should be able to connect both of the Garmons to the NMEA 2000 network. You will need (two) Ray Marine device net cables to do this. You probably already know, but you do not connect the devices directly to each other. You will need to construct a N2K backbone and each device...

I would recommend you consider the '5-way' connector. It has a backbone port on each end with 3 spur connections in between. I'ts much cheaper than 3 tees. A pecularity of SeatalkNG is that the cables are ALL FEMALE (on BOTH ends) which requires the Tees to be MALE on both ends...so you cant...

Hello Colby, The Garmin and Raymarine devices will be connected together into a 'network,' so shorter cables may not be a problem. This link (https://raymarine.app.box.com/s/2ulwt6y ... 1787214721) should take you to a page where you can download the SeatalkNG Reference Manual from...

Hello Colby, As you point out in your Raymarine Tech Forum post, the "near capacity" use of the EV-100 pump is only during lock-to-lock steering events which will likely be VERY RARE. So, although the pump is "rated" at 9cc and your Seastar helm is just below that, the volume of fluid pumped...

Hello Boris, I'll give a 2-thumbs up for MyRadar Weather app...you have found the correct app. It works well. The version you download is FREE. There are some in-app purchase options possible. For example, you can get hurricane tracking, NWS warnings, and "remove ads from map." You can...

Hello Chip, I have the RAymarine EV200 with the sportdrive in my Ranger Tug 21EC. I installed the unit in July 2014 and have used it about 40 hours. It tracks well at 2-3 mph and I would suspect it will pilot your boat at slow troll speeds. I can compare the EV200 to the earlier generation...

Hello Charlie, Could these be BEP switches? The description of "4 modules" sounds more like a BEP product. Does it look like this? Anyway, to access the 'guts' you need to remove the screws in the corners of the grey housings...they link together such that you may not be able to remove...

Hello Rod, I'm a big fan of butyl tape for bedding deck hardware - so that would be my preference. Especially after reading the tutorial on PBase (http://www.pbase.com/mainecruising/rebedding_hardware). The tape works AT LEAST as well as any compound that you squirt out of a tube but is FAR...

Hello Ray, I like what you've done with your boat. Very WELL DONE modifications. AND you have the ability to communicate pertinent details well with your posts. That helps all us C-brats. My question: Do the plywood hatch covers "rattle" when the boat is underway? There appears to be no...
