Hi Bill, I should think that sawing will certainly work, especially since the shaft is welded so it won't spin on you. SawzAll with a metal blade may be easier than a sabre saw, but either should do.

It's time to replace my anchor roller. There have been a few inquires in the past but no suggestions. The shaft is welded on both sides. Poor installation. The only remedy I can see is to sabre saw

Hello Porter Not only for Mac users: You can use the Squiddio plugin for OpenCPN and download ready to go Google Earth files in *.kap format with any visited place with squiddio. I suggest you

We’re a Mac family. To download google map or bing map overlays, previously we needed a windows machine for creation of Kap files. Ge2kap I believe was the “program.” Www.Venturefurther.com

Ian, I used the Awlgrip and it looks very nice.

Hello James, I’d like to add some ideas about OpenCPN... I use it for plotting long trips and it’s functionality is very good. IMO, it is an essential backup tool to your other navigation system.

I’m going to guess you haven’t used google map overlays. That’s OK. We have, and they are very helpful. In fact, openCPN, with google overlays is used by quite a few cruisers in the South

We used OpenCPN extensively on our previous boat. Even though there are no depth numbers on a google overlay, it is easy to see depth differences in the color of the water, and in many instances, a

Using OpenCPN with Google overlays does not help a lot. Such maps are usually georeferenced pictures of Google Earth. So they have no depth information and are raster charts only (bitmaps, called

Ken, Thanks for the response. To me a good Depthsounder has always been very important and I will usually leave one on even while we are anchored as additional confirmation that all is well when

Yes Ken. Ypu3 have to see it before you believe it. I dont know how supercharged my senses are in those circumstances until there is an unexpected bump noise on the boat. Boy do I jump. Danny SM

Danny, I also could not believe that the reefs/bommies came straight up from 50M. Amazing! And, I would be moving along at 6kts and was able to see them 80 meters in front of me. 80 meters gives me

Hello James, As Danny wrote in his comment above, the FLS is not the only thing used to provide information about the dangers in front of you. Good maps, eyes on the bow, are also helpful. But, good

Ours sits also in the same spot. Rests on its feet. No issues with plenty of sailing. We take it out and put in the middle of the cockpit to use it so it’s well ventilated. Porter Porter

Hi Tom, When Amelinstalls the compressor it is mounted on a piece of wood and fitted to rails.This means it can be slid back out of the way when not needed. The wood thecompressor is mounted on can

So, I've just purchased a dive compressor and am installing it. It fits perfectly and snugly on it's rubber feet between the dive tank storage and the port cockpit lazarette divider....using 25 1/2 of

Can't think of any reason not to change the "C" drive mounts while you're at it as they've got the same hours on them as the engine mounts (actually, they might more accurately be called frame mounts,
