Bob, On your questions: (1) So, my basic question is how do I know if the correct MMSI was ever put into the radio<?> (2)...is there a way to turn the Active transmit on and off? (3)I don't know if you control this through the radio or the Garmin – GPSMAP 1242 Touch displays. Assistance and...

Not from Aliexpress, but from China, I bought a GW Inflatable (shown in the attached image), 14 ft dink, PVC. NEVER again. After assembling and decking it out with 40 Yamaha, lights, plotter, radio, etc. I found the first leak, where it was pinched in the shipping crate. I fixed it, two more...

AKDoug brought up a great point. This is one big opinion salad, kind of like Coke vs. Pepsi, Ford vs. GM, etc. Find a West Marine or other dealer near you that has a wall of different brands. Spend a lot of time time playing with each brand, looking not only at chart plotter screens, but...

I install electronics for a living. My take on the major brands... Raymarine - "old Raymarine" horrible, bad user interface, hard to learn.... NEW Raymarine - OUTSTANDING Since Flir bought them, they have put serious investment into the user interface. If you can operate an iPhone, you'll...

5606 is some great stuff. Used it in aircraft for years and got a "wild hair" once when rebuilding the clutch master and slave cylinder on a 1969 Triumph Spitfire. Apparently the seals are a non-5606 compatible rubber of some type and the 5606 turned them into mush. The clutch felt great the...

I've used these guys for custom corporate logo flags in the absolute worst possible environments and they last for years. Call them, tell them you are using it on a boat and what issues you've run into, and they can set you up. In addition to strong material, they added a mesh to the trailing...

A bit of a coffee snob here... I buy from these folks (no connection). They roast the same day they ship, reinvest back into small farmers, and all coffee comes from the same altitude and is not blended. www.shareroastery.com If you want some really good coffee, try these folks. We use a...

After going to school in KY it is bourbon all the way... Buffalo Trace, Col EH Taylor, Woodford Reserve, all good! Col. M Joplin Kentucky. Colonel, 1984

Congrats on a beautiful boat, I can see why Baker has been lusting over it. Looks like the perfect boat for the kind of cruising we do around here. We are over in Waterford, but they let us over on Dock 1 from time to time on the weekends... Enjoy!!!

Well, absolutely! I have EVEN been able to do the route on Navionics and export the gpx files and upload to a Garmin as well (although it takes a few more steps...) I was planning in Navionics and uploading wirelessly to Raymarine in this boat and the last one. It’s actually pretty cool...

iPad with a suction mount and Navionics did a great job in getting me from Sarasota to Kemah a year ago. Be sure and have a carrier-enabled iPad as the WiFi only versions do not have a gps chip. We ran the ipad in airplane mode to conserve power. The Navionics app allows you to plot out the...

Thank you RTF! Kinda got ahead of introducing ourselves to the forum, but thought it might be beneficial to chime in as we were just in Pensacola. Thanks for the welcome!

We spent a week in Pensacola in August bringing our boat home from FL to TX recently. In looking at several marinas, we ended up staying at the Pensacola Beach Marina. Our boat is 46 with a 15 beam and had no issues with accommodations and power. Fuel was reasonable and they were about...
