Seems Like Garmin is no longer providing E120 compatible CF cards. What is everyone doing to buy charts for these units? Has anyone tried buying Navionics+ on a SD card and using a SD to CF adapter? Thanks

I am up against some medical issues that are preventing me from working on the boat and I’m having a hard time finding any reasonably qualified service where we base in Crisfield, MD. We bought the boat in FL last summer and brought it up the ICW with no issues. The boat runs great, oil and...

So I thought I would add grease fittings to tje seacocks. The plugs are 1/8” pipe and currently removed for the winter with valves open. When I removed the plugs a little water came out. If I replace the plugs with grease fittings, does the grease just displace any water? What would the...

So the boat has a water maker that hasn’t been used in years. If I spend the money to get it working, I wouldn’t use it enough to keep it running properly, so I’m going to remove it. That Leaves me with a spare raw water intake. Other than a raw water wash down, can you guys think of a use...

So I thought I had this licked. I hooked the relay box back up and found that the pump stays on all the time. The triggers are working. I can hear them click on and off. This thing looks pretty simple. 3 triggers, a pc board and a triac. The triac tests good using an ohm meter, but I...

Maybe not this year because it’s a new to me boat and I have a list of winter repairs, but thinking maybe next winter run the boat south instead of winterizing. How far south do you need to go to be safe? We base in Crisfield, MD and live in DE. Would it be feasible to winter the boat no more...

does anyone have direct experience with this? Can’t seem to find many, if any, reviews from actual users of the product. Just the typical positive reviews a publication might do for it’s paid advertisers. Is it just a small cheap ozone generator packaged in a $350 enclosure? It’s kind of...

About a month to go. I have QSC-500’s. ive never winterized before. In the past I shrink wrapped in the water and just ran bilge heaters. This year I’m hauling for the winter. I’m thinking after haul out remove the zincs and let drain. Replace zincs. Open strainers and pour in antifreeze...

The AC pump comes on when I turn on the pump breaker and does not cycle on and off with the AC units. I’m thinking the PO hot wired the pump because of relay failures. Does anyone know where the relay wires go? Is they a junction box where they all meet and tie into the AC pump wiring...

We got the boat home after a 900 mile trip from FL. We had the guest cabin packed with provisions, dive gear, etc. At one fuel stop I noticed a slight list to stbd. The boat is now sitting in our slip cleaned out with water tank about 1/4 and holding tank empty’s the stbd list is even more...

First, apologies for my poor search skill. I know this has been discussed but I can’t find it. Does anyone have the part number or link for the plastic strainer for the AC? Looks like the genset uses the same one. Thanks.

If you’re looking for the most efficient way to tell what the survey missed and the broker lied about, buy a boat 900 miles away and bring it home. I usually fuel on the way out in the morning. Today I fueled on the way in this afternoon. An hour after fueling we come back to the boat and...

I’ve been thinking about upgrading the VV 1.5. That looks to be around $3k. VV mobile looks pretty robust for around $150 and displays on a iPad, which I already have. Your thoughts? Thanks

We went to dinner and when we got back the stbd side outlets were dead. Checked the main breaker in panel and it was fine. Opened panel and checked voltage at breaker and had voltage. After checking every outlet I found juice on the input of the CFCI with it tripped. Pushed to reset and it...

Anyone know of a marine AC guy around Charleston? My bridge AC went out. It’s a low profile unit under the rear U bench. I’d love to get it replaced. Probably not worth throwing money at a repair unless it’s a simple charge, but I suspect it’s more than that.

I read some post about this and came to the conclusion that 1) There are a lot of boats out there with no screen door and 2) Getting it out and back in is a real PITA. PO tripped and bent the door. Easiest solution is to just finish it off, remove it and join the no screen door club. Let’s...

The boat has had a couple rounds of different dingy systems and holes were species on but still visible. I was thinking SeaDek or one of the other variants. I would want to do the bridge, cockpit and swim platform. We looked at a number of boats that had SeaDek and it doesn’t seem to wear very...

The shore power lights on the main panel just flicker dimly when shore power is on. It’s enough that I can tell shore power is coming in but fully lit lights would be better. Does this have something to do with the iso transformers? Everything is working fine so I have good power coming in...

i mostly use Navionics on the Ipad, unless the iPad overheats, then the E120’s come in handy. Today I noticed that the chart on the E120 had no detail. Wasn’t even showing the ICW. The pics below are of the E120 and my iPad taken at the same time. Does anyone know what the E120 isn’t showing...

Whats Your go-to app for wind and seas? I have windy.app. It’s not free and not sure is it’s worth $120/year. I also have paid subscriptions for AquaMaps and Navionics. AquaMaps has wind and seas but not sure how accurate it is. Mostly looking for an app to determine if we should run...
