I believe Garmin Express does apply to the latest and greatest products. I see GE as an alternative to phone or wifi based updates by way or the SD card. In addition it is also the only way to do certain firmware updates on certain products (as far as I know). For instance I bought the GHC100...

I have two 923xsv units and Navio ics Vision+. I always tend to buy the physical card and thats what I have now. So far I havent used the high resolution relief shading. Seems better suited for fisherman in areas that has real under sea terrain. Here in the Gulf coast of FL we have almost no...

Usually the spade tab on the switch breaks off leaving only a nub. And the only way to attach a wire is to then solder it. Ask me how I know...lol. I have a new switch ready to go in though.

Definitely!! We got to the slip and the weather was not great since there is a weather depression in the gulf. Wind was 10-15 with occasional higher gusts of 20. I debated in delaying but the rest of the week was the same. I decided to just go since this was my home area. The testing was...

No...you have it right. At least on most set ups. Are you worried about the hot wire being semi exposed? Pull it off and put the exposed wire right to some bare metal and see what happens. The buzzer should go off and that's it. That's a good way to test the circuit for the temp switch. It will...

Thanks a bunch. I enjoy the work much more than the video documentation. :lol: But I do love the Trawler community so I try to contribute.

Boat is finally operational. Not done by any means, but atleast we can enjoy it this summer. Need to do Garmin autopilot, radar, Lifepo batts with Victron inverter as well as exterior teak and paint.

very nice and functional. Top notch work.

Actually we love it. It still provides shade and it makes the cabin seem bigger when inside. The Keter track is a neat way to hold them in place.

I made external waterproof sunbralla shades in a track. The track is under the overhang of the upper deck. This keeps watwr off the windows and is the first line of defense from water intrusion. The bottom is snapped in place. When we want to open the windows we snap the lower portion of the...

I love boats and boating. It satisfies my need for adventure as well as my need to tinker and fix things. There are many facets for operating and maintaining a trawler and some of those facets give me no stress at all, even pleasure, and others can be quite stressful. Obviously docking is the...

I dont know if Wakespeed and Epoch ever got hooked up. But it looks like the new larger batteries from Epoch for boats and off grid are making advancements. I keep hearing various rumors but it looks like the next battery will be 12v 480AH with Victron comm as well as NMEA2000. NMEA did not even...

Very nice. I much appreciate the documentation.

Yes, I think that is more accurately stated. Just double checking. Bill's statement seemed to imply knowledge otherwise. Even many of the reputable mid-level products seem to be using new cells these days.

Can you expand on that a bit? Who is being sold failed cells? Its clear that early on this was the case. The cells were tested, grouped, and simply sold at the tested capacity. But it is my understanding many of the top manufacturer's now sell with brand new cells.

I agree with this. Unless its something simple its probably better to replace. When my old unit stopped working I troubleshot it to the compressor. That alone was going to be $600 or more. I just installed a new Marinaire 16kbtu unit. Thats a pretty easy job. Its been great for a few years.

It may have leaked out over a long period. Depends on the details. It may have just lost performance due to other factors and then recently sprang a leak. It may actually be a very slow leak over time. It may be something else First step is to see if you can locate 1 or 2 charge ports. If you...

I have one and had it installed for a bit. Then removed it since it only worked half the time. Recently I read some more and there is supposed to be an update and a fix and some people report it works better. I have yet to reinstall and do the update. Ill have to do that and report back. But in...

Looking good!

There is no doubt evolutionary pressures of the last 100 years and especially the last 30 years look nothing like the evolutionary pressures that got us here in the first place. My limited knowledge on the subject...where as previously evolutionary pressures guided like a flowing river in a...

So you dont care for him or his books. But did the words he spoke and the ideas formed in the clip have any truth to them? Do you disagree with those ideas because they were spoken by Mr Harari? The clip of Mr Harari conveying these ideas was used not because he is any type of authority, but...

Here are a few words by Yuval Noah Harari regarding recent effects of the algorithms for facebook and youtube and other information feeds etc that had a prescribed goal. AI may do the same, more effectively, with its own goals in mind. We like to think we are in absolute control and impervious...

Interested in pictures as well. Thanks.

And fixed a longstanding issue inside the fuel tank. Had to cut an access panel in the tank and install a Sea Built panel. Nice product.

Just to update Installed half the Garmin
