Ken,
I was originally thinking of something that would interface with my B&G display but I think that you make a really good point about having a stand alone system in this case. It helps a lot

Hi Ken,
Good to see your usage of FLS is like mine; like everything else electronic, what is really needed?
I have hit the reef twice; lightly in both cases... in Fiji. First time was in a buoyed

Hello James,
I like the fact that the Echo Pilot is completely separate from the rest of the navigation equipment. I would like a radar overlay on the chart plotter, but not the FLS. You can spend

Hello Gang,
When I decided to integrate an FLS, I chose a Raymarine unit. Integrates perfectly with the rest of the electronics and displays on either of my 2 plotters.

Ken,
A great educated/ personal review of FLS. Your logic concerning the value and useage of FLS seems sound to me. This is timely as I am looking at adding FLS to our boat. Recognizing that

Re: generator pcb board
Thank you Jeff,
Early this year my Onan generator was giving trouble and I thought that it might be the PCB, it was the 2 relays which I changed. I have ordered from your supplier so now Arkansas

SM - How to remove the bumper
Dear all,
I came across interesting messages on how to treat and repaint the bumper.
I plan to do this in the near future but would like first to take it off.
Could one of you advise on the steps

Re: Bottom paint
Hi Pat,
Regarding your keel blasting and refinishing, I'd recommend you review Joel's "classic" post #2960 (and 2964 and 2116). (Just type the number in the "Msg #" box above.)
Plus you could review
