Before our GB 32 we had a 42 sailboat about the weight of yours. We had a 55 lb Delta with 3/8 bbb chain.

I do the same for my 89 GB 32. Works great. Can get white on black or black on white tape

I suggest that you stay in a marina plugged in and hooked up to water if you want to take multiple 30 min showers. Try a Navy shower less than 5 min

We have a GB 32 with about 120 gal fresh water. We have no trouble going over a week and taking at least 6 showers and still have a quarter of a tank left. I suggest that you practice much more water conservation

Marina and restaurant is Henry Able & co. Very nice and nice diner

Get them on Amazon very inexpensive. Think I got over a dozen for under $20. You have to make sure that you get a base with one or 2 contacts depending on what kind of socket you have. Most likely they are 2 contacts so that the polarity is fixed.

Yes, it was pre Garmin. But I have had pretty good service from Garmin also. Particularly when I wanted to something with the chart plotter and “knew” there must be away but couldn’t figure it out. They have always come to the rescue!

I had a Vesper Xb -8000 which I installed myself. I had a problem ( which I caused myself) while sailing in Maine and they called me from New Zealand. Got me on line again. Outstanding service!

I’ve just used a couple of coats of spar varnish. Works very good!

Navionics on IPad I have been using Navionics on my iPad Air for 2 years. It works great. I don’t know what you mean by auto navigate. It does work with auto route generation. And I can then send the route to my Garmin chart plotter via active captain and the the chart plotter runs the auto pilot

Thanks I’m interested also. Lots of lobster pots here in Maine
