I'd also recommend finding a local US Sail & Power Squadron (Syracuse) and take advantage of their boater education courses. They have an excellent Marine Electronics course that will not only get you another good resource book but will give you a network of local experience to supplement the texts.
I'm an instructor with the neighboring Seneca Sail & Power Squadron... happy to help find contacts if you are interested.
Hey, now that's a great idea. Thank you for that, neighbor. I'd love to get in on something like that. I checked the website and there are no courses listed within 100 miles of Syracuse. Actually, I didn't see anything listed anywhere in the state. I looked under advanced courses for engine maintenance, marine electrical and electronics. Do I need to be a member for that to show up? Maybe there just isn't anything scheduled at this point?
