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).
- 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.
- Pertinent maintenance and condition information

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.

You probably have the crumbling cord problem, like me. I have searched but was unable to find any that don't have the same problem. It is a known issue. I even tried splicing in a new cord at the plug end but the wires are so tiny and delicate that I gave up that idea. If you come up with a solution, let me know.

Google Raymarine in Nashua
Ask them if they still repair them. Older posts suggest they did in the past

I doubt they will agree to repair as they stopped offering the replacement cord a few yrs back.
I think I got one of the last and have seen others ask but no go.
Doesnt hurt to ask. Other issue is none of the new models have a similar cut out.

Raymarine will no longer refurbish cable. Suggest scrapping of crumbling coating and spray several coats of liquid wire. Find a grey or black cloth string tie pouch and lay wire/ cable in bag and hang on consule. Mine works fine and cosmetically makes a little improvement.

Unfortunately the previous owner of the boat tossed the mic and cord before selling the boat to me. I have a remote handset at the lower helm that works just fine so I know the radio is good. I was hoping to find a used mic so I can take my time figuring out what I want for a radio. If I don't find one I'll just bite the bullet and replace the VHF and remote handset.

My mic cord , not Raymarine, became "gooey". Probably from Deet or some sun protectant.
The radio was at least 10 years old, still worked fine. I bought a new one for about $150 and it was a great purchase. Electronics, like everything else have come a long way in 10 years.
It was basically a "plug and play" swap. Lots of very nice new features!

How is the insulation on the remote handset? If in good shape, I would be interested in it.

That is the same remote handset. It is still installed on the boat and it may be some time before I remove it, like mid-April when the cover comes off (weather permitting). I don't want to give it away until I have an up and running replacement. I don't know what it is worth. If you want it make me an offer and pay for the shipping.
