For those of you thinking about purchasing Simrad electronics, READ THIS. OK I had no choice but to upgrade my Simrad electronics on The Path a 2008 45' NW Trawler. I purchased her in December 2013 and eight (8) months later my main Simrad XC44 unit died, so now my Simrad on the bridge and my...

Thanks, I definitely agree. We are using Starlight Marine Services. They are a distributor and installer for Key Power. They also do the warranty work.

The Key Power stabilizers are made out of polyurethane which I believe is stronger and more durable than a fiberglass composite, which the others are made out of. I also believe they require less costly maintenance.

Thanks, Capt Mike

I have researched three stabilizer systems, Niad, TRAC, and Key Power. I decided on the Key Power system and was wondering if any of you out there have any experience with them? Thanks for your input.

Thank you. I hope it 's not too late to get a booth for my charter business

Please let me know when you find out. I wasn't aware of a Trawler Fest at that location and time. Thanks, Capt. Mike

I'm planning a thee month cruise to the Turks & Caicos from Palm Beach County in May and I'm planning to also cruise thru the Exumas. At this time I'm not sure when I'll be there. My last cruise to the Exumas was 18 years ago and it was pristine.

Well, we ended up going the inside route instead of Hawks Channel. No problems with depths. There were some pretty anchorages and cool places to eat. We stopped at Hungry Tarpon & Lorelei's in Islamorada which I would recommend. Tailwinds, Capt Mike

Thanks Gina

Thanks you are correct Hawks Channel.

It's always prudent to get advice and suggestions from mariners that have recently cruised these waters, conditions are always changing. I have found the suggestions from the mariners of the Trawler Forum to be very helpful and informative. After I review all the charts, weather and information...

We had no problems with any current and we were towing an 18' Flats boat. We crossed on Sept 15 &16th. We did get some torrential rains but no problems at the locks. or currents. I hope you have a better weather window than we did. Have fun. Capt Mike

Advice needed. Do you think we could take the inland route from Marathon in the keys to Miami with our 4.5ft draft towing a Flats boat or is that a real bad idea? Or should we take the rougher Hawks Cay Channel route with this crazy weather? Thanks for your opinion.

Thanks, we just left the Everglades after crossing over Okeechobee waterway. We're staying at Hawks Cay Marina in Marathon Key now. Sent from my iPhone On Sep 23, 2013, at 4:45 PM, "Trawler Forum" <support@trawlerforum.com> wrote: Dear drmnj, Madeirabch has just replied to a thread you have...

Thanks for the good info.

We generally run the generator at least two hours a day while underway and at anchor especially at this time of year. Thanks for your input.

Thanks for the good advice

Our max speed is 13kts and we usually cruise at 8kts. So that advice should come in handy. Thanks

Thanks Doug. I'll work on putting that advice into action this week. Our 2 week plan is to fish around Charlotte Harbor, the Everglades and the Keys on the way back. Hope to see you out there. Tailwinds, Capt Mike

:) That sounds like a good plan. I have an 18' Egret that I'll be towing. Can you elaborate on the "I have a spindle spliced into the skiff end of the lines and use a big carabiner. A loop spliced in on the other end." If possible photos would be great. I appreciate your help.

We have an 18' skiff that we would like to tow behind our 45' Northwest Trawler. Any recommendation for length of tow line and bridal would be appreciated. Our plans are to depart from Jupiter, Fl in 2 weeks cross Okeechobee Waterway then come back around from the Florida Keys at the end if...

Do you have recommendations for a good water maker? Is it a bad idea to buy a used one? Does anyone out there have a good used one for sale?

It looks like we'll be crossing lake Okeechobee towards the middle or end if September also. We're heading to the Everglades to do some fishing then we'll probably run back thru the Keys. Tailwinds, Capt Mike
