    Laptop Mounting

    Yes, it did after I bought an adapter that goes from the bottom of the Rammount to the Seasucker. I think it was this: https://www.seasucker.com/shop/ram-b-sized-ballplatestud/

    Laptop Mounting

    For my bridge iPad I started out with a Rammount arm with a Rammount suction base. The base sucked in that it did not suck enough :D (kept losing suction and would topple over due to weight of iPad). I replaced that base with a Seasucker mount. It strongly sucks (in the best sense). Should work...

    Gpsmap 7215...cheap!

    Support for a discontinued Garmin product? Hmm. Garmin is no longer doing software updates for our legacy 4210 and 4208 units. On the other hand, they still work great and we can update the maps by buying them on an SD card.

    Humor

    Doesn't represent my political position, but if we can't maintain a sense of humor and irreverence then we are lost. Political correctness be damned.

    Oil change Needed

    I always change the oil in the fall, but not again in the spring. Don't understand why one should. Our last boat had an undetermined amount of hours on it's engines when we bought it, but the engines were about 15 years old then. Put about 2,220 hours on it while we owned it. Still ran sweet...

    Drifting........Navy style

    When I was a teenager, my Dad (who was an Episcopal minister) gave the blessing (or whatever the term is) at the commissioning of Constellation. I got to tag along and was wide eyed and impressed.

    Many thanks to all who served...

    Late musings post Veteran's Day. I have often pondered on the definition of who is a Veteran? I served a 4 year Navy hitch, mostly in cushy postings, but did end up being just once in the wrong place at the wrong time and at the wrong end of a torpedo: Purple Heart. Does this make me...

    Securing a retaining pin

    I'd call it a Keychain ring. Maybe a quick release pin with a lanyard?: McMaster-Carr

    Our 2001 has a Cummins 6BTA 5.9 330. A friend who just sold his 2000 had a Cummins 6BT 220. Don't know when the Lehman was phased out.

    Don't have it in .pdf form and I'm sorry but I'm not up to scanning the whole thing. Also, don't have any marketing brochure or promotional material.I do have a .pdf of a 1995 Powerboat Reports comparison of the IG32 and GB32 sent to me by Codger that you can see here...

    boat hauling in the wild. No Travellift No Problem

    Looks just about the same as our yard's setup:

    Island Gypsy News

    I have an owner's manual for our 2001 IG32. Frankly, its not very informative, although not completely useless. The manuals for the specific equipment installed on the boat, much of which equipment was added to the boat after the owner's manual was printed, is much more useful. Still it's nice...

    OA 42 Sedan

    ....you will find that his reefer is normally totally devoid of any brews to mooch. :D Other than that, I second FlyWright's endorsement.

    Haulout routine checks

    Can't believe you can go so long between bottom paintings. We need to do it every year, multi season paint or not.
