We are in the Bahamas now but will start heading towards Maine mid April. Plan to be there July- September. Berwick Duval Perfect Fit

It’s been a while since I sold my 430 but I remember the side drain getting clogged with leaves. I had to use a plumber’s snake to slowly remove some leaves before finally getting hose water to flow through. It was a process!

I had this exact problem with my Axiom unit. Went to a dedicated AIS antenna (as suggested above)and bypassed the splitter and that solved the problem.

Unfortunately, this is not an uncommon occurrence here in Louisiana. As stated in a previous post, fisherman use a "rig hook" to tie to the many oil and gas structures in our coastal waters to fish. Usually this is off the bow, and then the fishermen collect in the stern and start fishing...

DDW- I am on the boat and I am receiving weather reports throughout the US with the upgrade on my Axiom. It has to warm up for about five minutes to receive them but then does so. I have not taken the boat out yet and am downloading the old software on a card just in case. It does seem a bit...

I downloaded the new software and did not notice any weather issues. However I have not been to the boat in a month but will be there tomorrow and leaving for the Bahamas. I noticed Raymarine has suspended the L4 update. See...

I have had a 12’ Rigid Sport with a 40 Yamaha for 10 years and love it. Dry ride and takes a chop well for a 12’ boat. We fish and dive out of it and it can plane with four people. Also can pull the grandkids on a tube.

Freundship Marine 941-744-0003 Home These guys just did electrical work on my 60' Jefferson at Longboat Key Club Moorings across the bay from you. Very professional, showed up when they said, and stayed within the estimate. I was very satisfied with the work.

Thank you to Pau Hana for the very detailed reply. It makes me feel better about my situation. I can tell you that the people I talked to at Boat US and the email replies I received did not come close to explaining the decision to drop the coverage as you did. My main concern is a yard worker...

Thanks for the feed back. I agree that a potential LHWCA claim is rare, but I am more interested in the liability protection my policy provides for those rare events than the hull insurance. It is disappointing that they dropped the coverage without any notification. I am checking with other...

I just received my renewal policy from Geico/Boat US and noticed that it no longer provides liability coverage for Longshore and Harbor Workers' claims. This coverage was included on my last policy but is specifically excluded in section C-9 of the new policy. There was no notice of this...

You also need to make sure your insurance policy is changed to reflect the new owner, the trust. I suggest you add yourself as an additional insured for liability purposes. Hopefully this is something you discussed with a trust and estate professional in your state as there may be tax and...
