Thanks CR, I'm obviously getting old! o_O
Interesting. Do you mean that you have 2 GPS mushrooms, both sending a separate GPS signal on the same N2K network, and you can select either one...
Are you sure it's "just" an antenna? I mean, old plotters used to rely on a passive antenna, typically connected with a coaxial cable, but the GPS...
If the relaxed attitude of the firefighters is anything to go by, maybe they understood immediately the problem and knew it could be easily...
I never understood why they joined the Bering bandwagon, to start with. You'd expect anyone with some knowledge of this industry to know better... o_O
Why, did you just buy something else of this ilk? If so, tell us about that - we always like to hear about first hand experiences/choices. Oh, and...
Beautiful old lady, but even if she may look like a lot of boat for the money, at first glance I'd expect her to need maintenance for at least as...
I believe that actually, up to the 80s, Canados used to build their hulls with cold molded diagonal mahogany planks. Anyhow, on these boats,...
All agreed. When I previously said I never touch the throttles while maneuvering, I was referring to my current planning boat, which makes 6+ kts...
Agreed 100%. In fact, the most intelligent answer to the OP question about what his buzzer is designed for is - ahem - to buzz! :D
I never, ever had to use the throttle levers while maneuvering, because engaging/disengaging gear is more than enough, unless you like to dock...
I can neither confirm nor deny what you remember, but my (possibly outdated by now!) understanding is that the only producers of electronic...
At risk of stating the obvious, another thing to consider is that with electronic controls you lose the separate levers for gear and throttle....
I take your word on SFs, because in my neck of the woods there aren't many around. But I did come across several Kobelt controls in fast MYs (both...
Can't be bothered to look at their website, but R U sure? The only Kobelt controls I ever came across are either electronic or pneumatic. With the...
That reminds me of something I had in mind when I previously wrote "for better or worse", but I didn't mention explicitly. I actually prefer...
It takes much less than a lightning, to develop a fault in anything electronics. Regardless of the levers load (which for better or worse will...
Amen to that!
Are you worried about a 15 rpm and 5% load difference? Seriously? :)
I see. I don't want to derail the thread further, but just to address your curiosity, there are several reasons behind that. First and foremost,...
