• Trawler Forum Classified Posting Guidelines
    • We expect ads placed to be related to the topic of this forum.
    • Ads that are inactive for 180 days or longer may be moved to the Classified Archive and locked. Ads may be relisted if the item is still current. Alternatively, owners may contact a Moderator to reinstate an archived ad.
    • The Classified section is for advertising, members are asked to refrain from posting discussions to a Classified Ad. Please start a discussion thread or PM the owner for discussions.
    • Do not hijack another member's ad by posting unsolicited commentary. Example: if a member has posted an ad offering an anchor for sale, don't add a post to his thread stating that you have an anchor you'd like to get rid of also. Posts deemed as unsolicited commentary may be removed.
    • For your own security, do NOT include your e-mail or phone number in your ad. Instead request that interested parties contact you via PM (private message) to provide owners contact info.
    • Brokers, Dealers, or those with a commercial interest in a sale are prohibited from posting in Classifieds.
    • Only Trawler Forum Commercial Members may post ads in the Commercial section. You must be a designated Commercial Member to start threads in this section of the forum. (Contact a moderator if you have questions about this)
    • Don't post links to commercial sites where you are also offering the boat, such as eBay, Craigslist or Yachtworld, etc. unless it contains a more in-depth description, additional information or pictures.
    • Place only one ad per item (you may repost only when your ad has expired and been removed).
    For Sale ads MUST include:
    • Asking price
    • Location
    • A Basic Description
    • Clear statement whether you are the owner or non-owner (posting for friend, relative, or acquaintance)
    • Don't forget to select: FOR SALE, WANTED or FREE in the Title block.
    All ads should also include ALL the following:
    • Pertinent maintenance and condition information
    • Exterior picture or pictures
    • Interior picture or pictures (boats)
    For maximum impact & exposure, it is suggested the Ad Title include: Year, Manufacturer, Model, Length, Price, and Location or at the very top of the ad body. When your item has sold or the ad is no longer relevant: Please post a Reply to the ad that the item is SOLD or click "Report Post" on post 1 of the thread to ask a moderator to archive the ad. Ads may be moved or removed by our staff at any time for any reason. All ads must comply with site rules. Thanks for your cooperation.
  • Avoid Scams.

    Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
    Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.

    Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.

    Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.

    Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
    • Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
    • No posts or very few forum posts.
    • Recent forum membership
    • Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
    • Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
    • Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
    • Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

This is an RV receiver, hence is a lower profile (12" tall x 33" dia, instead of 27" tall x 24" dia), so would fit on a roof space instead of up on a mast.* Othewise the same technology as the KVH marine units. Receives any of Direct TV, Dish Network or Bell ExpressVu.* Will be coming off the roof of the RV this March.* Can be shipped (33 lb).* Useless to me, (Canadian) as none of those networks are appropriate for a Canadian home base and southern US useage.* Won't work on Shaw Direct (which I now have). Any reasonable offer will be considered.
 
I have always been curious about RV units for boats. Do they stabilize on all 3 axes? I was under the impression that they did not since they did not have to on an RV but that was just me guessing. Anyway, just curious!
 
I never considered an RV unit as suitable for a boat, till I saw one in service on a 40 ft sportfisher that had lots of available roof. The owner is happy with the unit. I confess I never asked about 3 axes v 2.
KVH talks about tracking whilst driving down the road. In mountainous country, 3 axes would be required. On my boat, there is less pitching than on my Motorhome, if you compare hills to waves.
 
Keith,

What price is reasonable to you?* We are in Seattle using directv at the dock.* It would be nice to be able to watch the news at anchor.

If you are interested, I will figure out how much work it is going to be to get it removed and the roof patched, then maybe stop by and meet you at your boat in Seattle as we are heading north in April. What do you think is reasonable for my time getting the thing off the roof and doing the patching?

Keith,
well, I've always valued my spare time higher than my work time so I probably can't afford it!!
That said, I'm definitely interested and would like to pursue this. Unfortunately I've been working is az. for the last year and a half and will be down here for another year or more while my wife keeps the boat floating at home, so unless you are heading North from Mexico we'll have to talk via the internet or phone.
There is no hurry on this from me so think about whether you even want to do it or not, figure out the work involved and keep in touch.

you can email me at thom permenter @ clear wire . net
 
just letting you know I'm still interested
