Looking for input on Fresh water Antifouling on the below waterline of our hydraulic swim platform. I found this Pettit ECO HRT Copper-Free Antifouling paint. My thoughts: a spray may be applied into the cracks and crevice's a brush can not. Thanks, Mike

I've tried all summer long to get my rudder indicator on my Axiom 12 dash board to move with the wheel. No go. It shows highlighted at the bottom of the screen. Also, The gauge on my Auto Pilot and vessel view do not engauge with the turning the wheel. Any thoughts.
We are seeing 1-2 mile visibility on the lake near Milwaukee. At 38 miles east it was better at 3 miles visibility. At our office in Waukesha, the air quality reached "hazardous levels" on Tuesday afternoon before dropping back to "very unhealthy" on Wednesday morning with an air quality index...
In process of updating our helm add in pair of Axiom 12 MFD's. The units come with current Lighthouse charts. I've read Raymarine Lighthouse has made significant upgrades. Still people prefer Navionics for pre-programming routes on Ipads. Has anyone have time on newer system for comparison...

Can anyone please tell us, Is Michigan loosening restrictions? We love the western shore Michigan really hoping they follow the trend and loose restrictions.
Yes, I was one who said, Just wait all this water will slowly go back down. What I meant was years. Yesterday the measurement at the marina fuel dock showed 24" down from last fall. Some of this I'm sure can be from a seiche witch occurs in large bodies of water such as the Great Lakes. Our non...
Have just read and marina confirmed it Lake Michigan is down 13"!
This will certainly help those marinas and river side restaurants. We cruise to our home port Milwaukee on the 19th.
