Re: Bottom paint
Pat,
You're right - their Technical Bulletin says one coat and their Product Data Sheet says three minimum. Also says don't let anything dry before the next coat until you've got the High Build Epoxy

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

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

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
