Similar to what I have. Garmin is just fine. I have the G wind and love it for docking.

Plus 1 for keypower and Dean! Beefy system and great customer service.

We are in the bay and had excellent training, both classroom and practical with club Nautique. We’re members for a few years. Not cheap but excellent in my and wife’s opinion.

It’s the mobile dish box. It’s called a Wally.

Agree, it’s really nice and does a great job holding a heading and or course. I love mine.

All- I have an intellian I-3 and a Dish Wally on my boat. A few months ago, dish changed from a three satellite mix-110,119,129 to a dual mix. In other words, they shut down 129. I’m unable to get my intellian to sync, eg go to dual mode. Have been using iPad for viewing. The dish sync page...

Same boat. Very stiff. Had to remove panel to exercise it for recent annual maintenance. Didn’t notice a grease fitting. It’s a large through hull.

No ballast on our np 45, not needed. It’s not a full displacement hull. Installed stabilizers. Wouldn’t go without.

I have the 5 gauge Cummins smart craft and for the 4 dial instruments I have a thin red piece of tape over the glass for the normal reading. Works great.

Arch if you ever want a top for shade. We have a hard top and no canvas.

What brand of boat? Agree- we have a vented model and as long as you don’t overload the washer, works great. Menu/controls not very intuitive however.

My opinion is to just let the yard do the work you are paying them for. Good yards do this job all the time. New hardware is a great idea.

That’s what I did. Battery works fine and easy to replace when out of date.

I lost a chart plotter during maintenance in alameda boatyard about a year ago. Jack London square is trying hard, but very close to many encampments. No words….

Best decision I made to install stabilizers on my NP 45. Wife will not allow them to be off!! Would never buy another without, they make such a difference.

I’d also look at North Pacific. They may have a couple for sale up there.

Garmin has a new model on their website. https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/636376

Had an interesting run with a couple of pigeons who were living inside my dinghy on the flybridge. They got in under the cover by the engine. Dinghy has a dual floor…what a mess. Took 3 hours to clean and lots of wash, rinse repeat. Now have a net between cover and engine. It was gross cleaning...

Great story- I’ve seen and read multiple times how often propane installations are not up to code/standards. Worth a thorough check for everyone who has them.

I have a dish Wally with an intellian I3, about a week ago dish shut off satellite 129. They just use 110 and 119 now. Issue is their software is still driving the antenna to 129. I’ve talked with intellian and Dish. No fix yet. Ugh!

Assume fuel supply valve and return to tank are open?

I bought a keypower dual actuator 7.5 sq ft fin system. Very beefy! I used the Cummins PTO-A pad for a vickers V10 vane pump. 1,000 psi operating pressure. Happy to chat about my experience. Negligible speed difference. Boat does not rock! Jim

I bought a new kit for $28k, spent $8k for yard actuator/fiberglass work. Did the rest myself. $1,200 extra for parts and hoses.

Thanks all. I’m going to try vacuum packing spares that don’t require opening unless being used.

With boat coming on 4 years old, I’m starting to purchase spares, e.g. fresh water pump, water heater parts etc. Question- are you vacuum packing parts? What do you use? Concern is corrosion as I’m in saltwater environment.
