    Aqua drive is it worth installing

    I had an aquadrive on a previous boat. It was standard equipment from the factory. It seemed to work well. One recommendation; coat the entire assembly with anticorrosion spray once or twice a year. I used Woody Wax and then switched to CorrosionX. If you don't do this, the aquadrive will...

    Do I qualify as trawler owner?

    I'm not a trawler owner either, (but I do spend a lot of time at 8 kts and 2GPH). There is a lot of useful information and experience on this website regardless of what kind of boat you own.

    Pitting on Anchor Shank

    Chesapeake Bay Cruisin

    Oxford is great. Best ice cream on the Eastern Shore. Not sure I would anchor off the Strand, wakes might be a problem. There is room to anchor inside the harbor in Oxford, but I've been told the holding isn't great. The Wye River has some of the best anchorages on the bay. Dividing Creek...

    Garmin or Raymarine?

    Homeport supports Mac, Voyager is Windows only. Garmin has an AutoGuidance feature that allows the unit to calculate a route to a destination given a minimum depth and distance from shore profile. This works well on the Chesapeake Bay and will give you a quick estimate of distance and time to...
