First night on the C-Otter! Lake Merwin, WA

Finishing up a project today: - flush hydraulic fluid from steering - attempt to fix frozen AP motor - refill with new fluid Unfortunately, I destroyed the AP motor trying to disassemble it. At least 1 of the bearings was rusted frozen and either my work on it resulted in the magnets breaking...

Thanks for the idea Colby! I just purchased a gallon from Pearson Field here in Vancouver, WA for $44 + tax. That's about 1/3 it would have cost per quart!

From the inside, there is a bulge where the fiberglass was pushed in. That might look like filler. One other consideration is the re-installation of the fuel tank vent fitting. It is mounted like a thru-hull fitting would be such that it compresses the fiberglass with a washer and threaded nut...

Unfortunately, I had an impact to the port fuel vent that pushed the side of the vent in, damaging the fiberglass. Here's a pick from the outside. There are more pics in this album from the outside and inside...

If this new unit had come in close to the hand-held price, I'd be interested just for the convenience but 2+x...

Resurrecting this thread as I see SIONYX has released a camera specifically for boats and wondered if anyone has any experience with it? https://www.sionyx.com/pages/boating There's quite a thread (or 2!) on THT (https://www.thehulltruth.com/boating-fo ... e-one.html) about the aurora sport...

Very scary!!! Nicely done!

Thanks Bob! After posting, I read a few online articles on today's AP's and it didn't seem there are that many improvements, especially if you are not connected to a chart plotter. If you are, then the integration w/in brands is best.
