I'm over at Fisheries right now and walked into this scene

Think I've found the fly in the ointment with this GX6500. If you buy a new boat and document with Coast Guard, the USCG delay is about 2 months. To buy this radio, West Marine needs to pre-register the AIS with the USCG. Meaning you have to wait for the USCG to get back to you. Assuming they...

Any thoughts as to a carbon foam battery. Can deplete to ZERO (via reports) and no damage.

My gosh, those are some truly intimidating circumstances! I would have been transfixed watching you operate under the stress. The 'flat clam' sounds delicious though!!

In 2 hours it has hailed, rained, sun came, clouds rolled in, rain whipped drizzle, rainbow, double rainbow, blue sky's currently

what I really care about is the cellphone's internet connection. I want the hotspot data coming through.

With all the electronics that have GPS in them as well as water resistant phones - I think this GX6500 and an epirb would pretty much guarantee a rescue. You'll have a GPS in this radio, your phone, and your MFD. Add a remote handset to the GX6500 (which supports 4 I think) or just a standalone...

Have you tried a less than containerload shipper? NNR @ (253) 395-3885

Yes but you live in Australia where admittedly the women are prettier, but the country is the size of the USA with a population slightly less than Texas. What is going on down there?! If you are not careful, New Zealand is going to catch up. And the last thing we need is a nation full of folk...

Anyone have any experience with this cell amp? Provides all carrier compatibility. I was looking at a Shakespeare combo unit, but I get the feeling it compromises - but maybe not. I have tried a cheap cell amp on land (this isn't cheap) before and had poor results, but maybe they work better...

For sale: I am selling these from my house in metro-Seattle. I had these made as initial prototypes. I have run one through its paces on Lake Union and had it on plane and it runs great. My wife and both sat in the back with no weight forward (running slow of course) and we were fine though it...

I intend to wait. That is only 60 more days and maybe it will be sooner. I haven't gotten this email yet though.

It is really a discussion about using traditional VHF radio with GPS, chartplotters, radar, etc and connecting them directly to an iPad and eliminating the Multifunction display in favor of 1 or 2 iPads. Then being able to see that data when you are far away from your boat over the internet by...

Why would you need the Signal K node server if you have the iKommunicate running? Plus you've just blown my lower cost premise! 2 Mac Minis, laptop, iKommunicate, Raspberry Pi, 4 iPads = a lot of $$$$$!!!!

So far I have not been able to find an autopilot and depth sounder/sonar that integrates through the ipad without also using the MFD. Most systems seem to use the MFD for processing. In other words, this is their way of making a captive system. What I want is to use the iPad/Android Tablet as...

Maybe this?

Has anyone used a Signal K device such as (?) https://ikommunicate.com/

I checked on these above-waterline thru-hull valves and here is what I found. The elbow in this assembly is NPT. The valve itself where it meets the thru-hull is straight thread compatible. These are 3/4 inch thru-hulls. They are under/almost inside and protected by the bulwark. The threaded...

I'll double check those threads, but they are above water through hulls

This is 1 minute video on my personal YouTube channel of the gas/water separator just installed to the Whisper Power 3.5 MSC. You can see the water discharging below the gas outlet. Recorded with an iPhone starting outside, so the sound will be subjective, but rather quiet IMO...
