    Comnav 1420 Autopilot

    Well I put in the Con Nav 1420 last year. Converted to Baystar steering at the same time. Previously had no feedback cable steering which always worked great. Except the Raymarine Sportpilot Plus autopilot never worked very well. In for repairs a couple of times. Replaced parts, no improvement...

    Instrument lighting

    Mark and Ron, thanks for the replies. Mark, you seem to be describing how the instruments are wired to the switches but that doesn't resolve my problem with the lighting of the instruments. On your 2004 Hondas are the tach and trim meters backlit with the nav lights on ? On my 2003, with the nav...

    Instrument lighting

    The Honda Manual (for 2004 40hp engines) shows two wires coming from the instrument cluster pair (a pair is one tach and one trim gauge). The wires are Red/White and Black/White. It is possible that the wires from each pair (since you have two engines) are wired together near the instruments and...

    Instrument lighting

    Dear GLB, The instrument lighting is from the manufacturer of the instruments, not somethng C-Dory does. Now C-Dory, or someone else in the last ten years, could have mixed up the wiring. With Honda instruments the tachometer and the tilt switch of that vintage should be lit when the nav lights...

    Wallas 1300 Heater Installation

    Hello Sunbeam, I put a 1300 in several years ago. I mounted it under sink on the cabinet wall not the hull wall. Fuel tank directly below so no sags in return line. The exhaust/intake is high enough to allow bend. I put in a metal heat shield as well as the fiberglass sheath to insulate the...

    Wisconsin and Northern Michigan

    Bob the UP is a special place. Westermost counties are Central Time, rest Eastern. UP has more than 150 waterfalls. Check out Bond Falls near Watersmeet (three way watershed point, Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Mississippi). Best thin crust pizza anywhere is Riverside Bar in Iron River. So many...

    Radar arch mounted anchor light

    I misunderstood how much SS piping was already present. Thought you just needed the light. This company makes some fittings, but they are designed for their own pedestals. http://www.seaviewglobal.com/en/categories/300000146 I had a similar light on my radar arch, raised SS tube with bends to...

    Radar arch mounted anchor light

    One or more of the Aqua Signal lights will fit. The larger AS stern light will take the longer, LED bulbs as well. Those bulbs are cheaper and brighter than the shorter ones. Regards,

    Four downriggers on a 22' ?

    Chris, I have three riggers on my 22. The center rigger is set to run down the chute and has a 5 foot mast. I had four riggers on my previous boat but that was wider and didn't have twins. I find I seldom use the center rigger for anything other than my temp probe and speed probe. I often use...

    And Larry K, sometime we are going to go boat nerding together. Next year, 2013, I may have more time. I think a gathering at the Straits, St. Mary's would have merit in the heat of the year. I like to go there in the fall when it is not so busy. Boatnerds is a group/website about Great Lakes...

    My boat, a 22 cruiser, is in storage and not accessible for another month or so. I sometimes fish Manistee and occasionally local. Happy to give you a tour once it is launched. Deck and Docks in Orchard Lake is still a dealer (I think) and may have boats. I looked at a 22 and a 25 down there...

    Welcome aboard, and thoughtful questions. In the interest of prompting your responses I will throw out some answers. Note, I said the questions were thoughtful not my answers. 1. What do I do if I have a bubble in my compass? Add mineral spirits. Some compasses are better than others at...
