I see you've been focusing on the fault being in the hardware, but what about the software. Have you tried adjusting the settings in the sonar settings on the device? I had something similar and when I changed the settings to filter the surface interference stronger it mostly cleared up for me.

Delfin, Keehi lagoon is a well sheltered anchorage where one could anchor with a permit or get a transient permit for the mooring balls. There are two dinghy docks for the public there and I would recommend a bicycle lock or other locking system for your outboard so it doesn’t grow legs without...

Delfin, just a heads up the 2023 Transpac sailboat race just got underway and the are expecting the boats in the race to begin arriving the week of 4th of July and after in Honolulu. The harbors may be a bit full but so will all the parties at the yacht clubs. Looks like about 72 boats entered...

Hawaii loves to complicate everything with absurd amounts of red tape. Be thankful the prop cage bill didn't pass during a few years ago legislative session. They wanted to make it illegal for any boat to enter state waters unless fitted with a prop cage to help prevent accidental marine life...

It was likely the USS Nimitz. I saw her leave Pearl Harbor the other day. I think she is just heading back to her home port.

Okay, does anyone have a Perkins T6.354 paired with a Borg-Warner velvet drive that uses a Walter v-drive on their boat? If so, what is the gear ratio of your v-drive? I'm curious what it's usually paired with.

The states only refinery is located on Oahu and then shipped to the other islands. If you want to refuel on the Big Island and are planning to pull in to Honokohau small boat harbor I'd first check with Hawaii Petroleum at https://hawaiipetroleum.com/ the fuel sold at the harbor I think is...

The props seem good enough to me but they just don’t spin fast enough to go more than 9 knots at full throttle. I figured if I just changed the gear ratio of the v drive the. They’d spin faster maybe get 12 knots out of the old girl. The v drive is going to need replacing within the next couple...

I believe the prop I have is an 18x19 three blade bronze one. I would have to double check them physically to be certain. These would have been the same size props for the original gas engines.

I live on Oahu. If you need some help with anything when you get here let me know. I’d recommend these guys for fuel. https://b-e-petroleum.business.site/
