Hi there OMC, Thanks for the reply! Anything specific you would like?

Crusty Chief, Thank you for your reply! Yes, I am aware that the work might be a lot. I take it from your reply that you have had your fair share of thoughts on software....? My idea with the software is not to give the user yet another place to view their gauges, info and and and.....but...

Hi there Stubones99, Thanks for the reply! I do apologize, it will be a Windows application. That said, I am not going to sell the application. Not interested in taking it to "market". I will however share it for free with other boaters, if they want it. Your checklist idea is perfect, with...

Hi there BandB, Thanks for your reply! I do not want to sell the software..... I will gladly share it with other boaters for free....but I do not want to take it to "market". That is why I said that I am writing it in my spare / off time, for myself. I would just like to know if maybe I...

Hi there Dimer 2, Thank you! Do you still visit SA?

Hi Donsan, Peter B is spot on here and I will take his advice. However, I don't think that I will be able to do my work if I was not.... I think it is a blessing when maintaining things and following instructions and rules. But yes.....it can be frustrating at times and the wife let's me...

Thank you Sir!
