    Is there a RainX for eisenglass?

    Go to a company called Plane Perfect. Been using their products on aircraft windows and on glass on dodger. Had great results. Aircraft windscreens are very soft plastic which allows for rapid expansion and contraction. It seems to work very well.

    A little autopilot help

    Thanks for all the help Moving forward I will be considering all of your inputs. The only area where the faster response time is necessary is during a following turbulent sea such as an inlet crossing. There I am using rapid rudder movements to stay on course. I am also a little "OCD" about...

    A little autopilot help

    Is there a way to drop the line pressure in a Raymarine type 3 pump? I have a K-19 Hynautic steering ram on the vessel. It calls for a type 1 pump to accomplish steering. But as I have operated the boat I noticed that I prefer to have the faster response of the higher output of a type 3 pump...

    Wanted: Looking for autopilot pump

    Hello All, I wonder if you could rummage in your spares box or spares closet. I am seeking a working M81120 raymarine autopilot pump. I have found many on the various "e" sites but being a skinflint at heart I thought someone out there in trawler land might have a good deal.

    Recent transit from Mobile Bay to Pensacola

    Thanks, I'll give it a go. Also any input from sailors transiting the Claiborne lock recently would be appreciated. I understand there is a silt build-up issue at the south end of the lock. My new boat draws around 3 feet and I am trying to avoid getting hung up on the way out of the lock.
