Hi Eric, I don't want to remove it. The guy who did the survey noticed some movement to which I replied it was mounted on some rubber mounts somehow (I think). Kind Regards Barry & Robyn Tradewinds

Barry, Why do you want to remove it? Fair Winds Eric SM 376 Kimberlite

Does anyone have any information/sketch about the fibreglass enclosure around the C drive forward of the propeller. How is it secured and how can it be removed for maintenance. Thank you Barry &

Actually, while we are on the subject of colour, using AWLGRIP for example, what is the recommended colour match for, the brown thin stripes on the deck, the light tan imitation teak on the deck (I

Hello Gang, I fully back Ken in his OpenCPN support and use. It is done brilliantly by sailors and it is FREE! Like most things, there is a learning curve to it. Cheers, Jean-Pierre Germain,

I painted the boot stripe red, and just had it done in GelCoat. I am looking forward to seeing the longevity of GelCoat vs paint. The paint lasted about 2.5 years under the stern, but the bow still

To All, Google overlays is not difficult to read, and is sometimes the only option for a map. In some places the maps are a 100 meters off. Take a look at the entrance to Maupiha'a in the French

Hi Porter The latest version of Ge2kap is now called Sat2chart as it provides access to a number of different satellite image sources and produces output files in other formats besides kap. I have

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

Matt Not anybody is able to read tea leaves. I cannot and so I better use a depth sensor... -- Gerhard Mueller Amel Sharki #60 Currently Kalamata, Greece

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
