winch? what's the purpose of that winch on the starboard side?

Meh. I think it was better before with humming, flickering flos and cozy institutional vibe colors. :lol:

I like Navionics, now I'm looking for the dumbest lightest back up in case it crashes and cannot restart. Could google maps get you home from a coastal cruise?

if a lot of the frames are rotten, it wouldnt be too hard to grab the mahog planks. expensive stuff. But if you have to remove old fasteners from good wood, forget it!

I should pay attention since my 29' trawler has about 24' of mast for it's *steadying* sail.

I have actually checked the address bar twice because thought I'd stumbled into Cruisersforum.

are the design objectives of zillion dollar sailboats made for sailing across the southern ocean relevant? It relates to trawlers?

Just get the HDPE with UV stabilization. It will last long than all of us.

regular hdpe would likely be sufficient. lots use it for wooden boat rehab.

If you cannot keep the wood try and keep in intact so you can use it as a template/sample

estimated speed?

I think the Xiomi's were my second pick. They make the ones you'd normally rent in LA and other cities.

Guys, I was an engineer, bad idea mixing wine in your oil. Tastes terrible.

I also have a GoTrax. Researched them a bit. Best bang for buck. Mine was $300 after rebate. folds up nicely. One of the selling points was GoTrax uses an LG battery-- which i presumed would hold up better than generic crap. So far no issues. 15mph, 22mile range. Replacement batteries $75.

Another comment about double enders, I'm still getting used to mine, but as we know, non bow thrustered single screws can be "interesting" in tight spots. My DE loves to go in reverse. Common sense of course but I never thought of that until I got one. It even seems to have a semblance of...

I have a glass over cedar Monterey double ender. Lines were pulled from a 1903 Monterey. All I know is this is a battle tested design and so far beats my old squared off transon sportfisher in a following sea. So far it really doesnt seem that I need a 90 degree angle on an approaching swell to...

Does this bronze screw allow removal of capstan or open a can of worms? Is there a trick to getting the screen out? Soft bronze. I ordered a impact driver.

You guys inspired me to take another stab at side loading. Took over an hour with several error messages, especially of the Framework program. Very aggravating. Clearly they don't want you on Google. But it can be done. If I could do it over again would I? Personally no. I'd just get the Lenovo.

Hopefully my quark multi plexor woulda dialed me in.

I tried side loaders and the sites I used you couldn't tell the ads from the actual software you needed. You end up loading unwanted softwares with adware. Closest I came was the google play opening for 1 second then disappearing.

I tried 3 different how-to tutorials. all advised against rooting. None worked and strange things started happening. games started loading, nothing worked right. buggy buggy buggy. not what I want for cruising the islands.

It's simple guys, Bezos does not want you near Google Play store and that means no Navionics or any other 'Droid app you might want. Yes there are workaround with various side door apps and hacks but it's a nightmare, you'll end up with adware, on Russian sites, and most importantly, you really...

Nice work

my drawing is exaggerated. it's the boat in my avatar. Monterey Trawler
