I'm sure there's more than one answer to this very valid question - but in my case at least, they aren't all Marine VHF radios. A fair number of cruisers are also ham radio operators (me included) and one or more of those radios are ham radios. That gives us redundancy for multiple means and...

Narrowing things down to a city at least might be helpful since driving E-W along the northern border of FL takes around 5 hours... just a thought.

De Moines, WA. It's a 1999. Two Honda 90's... the phone # is 206-940-5837. Donna Vincent. I agree that it seems to be a sale from someone other than the "the owner"... I'm guessing a widow. There's little actual info, but my initial gut reaction (which I shared with her, TBH) is that it was...

Got the windows tinted - love it!!

My tow vehicle is older so doesn't have built in TMS... I'll dig around and see what it takes to add an aftermarket unit. I hadn't thought about that - didn't know they existed! I do have a IR thermometer and have been checking the hubs. As you say, I've noticed a pretty wide range depending on...

I didn't know TMS on a trailer was a thing... tell me more. Is that something you added? Seems like a good idea. Glad things worked out OK.

Where do you plan to put it? I wonder if it'd fit on a slider under the helm seat? Or maybe the JP30 would? Sure would be nice!

When a radar is transmitting, the receiver is blocked to prevent damage to the sensitive receiver. Once the transmitted pulse clears the antenna, the unit can switch back to receiving. The time it takes to switch between transmitting and receiving is what creates the nearby 'blind spot' or...

Got it figured out, thanks everyone. I'm good for now. I wouldn't mind finding a more modern replacement with LED lights and so on, but it's not going to be high on my list. Overall, this thing seems to be in pretty good shape.

I don't know about y'all... but this NMEA 2000 stuff seems like it can be a little addictive... Got a compass hooked up... got my outboard hooked up... fuel tank levels... battery monitors on order... checking out stereos and VHFs... I don't know where it stops!!?? Is there a NMEA 2000 Porta...

I love seeing pictures of other C-Dorys... no two are the same. I get a lot of ideas of what to do next on mine. I still have a long ways to go in terms of adding functionality.

I'll be interested to see the other replies, but I think it depends on the current prop. If the previous owner took time and effort to prop it for high altitude, there might be some room for improvement at lower altitude. If the current prop was intended for sea level, then it'll probably run a...

Nice pic... amazing how much 3' changes the entire boat. Is that the external Garmin GPS antenna on the port forward corner of the roof? It's NMEA 2000? Have you found it makes a big difference over the built in GPS in your chart plotter? I've been curious if it'd make a significant difference...

Thanks both of you... I'll take a closer look next time I'm out there. It's 30 years old, so I agree with the possibility of something plastic breaking. I have looked at possible replacements from Blue Sea and elsewhere, and may end up doing that. Of course, it has to be a pretty small panel to...

I feel a little weird asking this question, but how the heck do you get the fuses out of this thing if you need to replace one or whatever? I've tried pushing, pulling, looking behind the panel, etc. I don't want to force or break anything so I figured I'd ask.
