New Marina in St Marys, GA A totally new marina is being developed in St Marys, GA a couple of miles off the Atlantic ICW. It is part of the "Cumberland Inlet" project by Jacoby Development. There will be dry stack storage as well as a new keyhole basin with 160 slips on the North River. The...

The Coast Guard and Navy are always very professional We live in St Mays and get to see the subs moving in and out regularly. I have always been impressed that the Coast Guard and Navy escort vessels are as courteous to boaters as they can be given the absolute requirement to clear all boats...

Maybe to small - Albin 28 TE I have an Albin 28 which I like. It may be too small for your liking but it's airdraft is 8 feet 6 inches with the radar arch but my radar does push that up to almost 11 feet. Albins are solid boats and there are usually some on the market in Florida or at least in...

St Marys, GA As you said in your introduction, you have to decide on your most important priorities. I'll put in a suggestion for St. Marys, GA, the southern most port in Georgia before crossing the river and being in Fernandina Beach, Florida. Major pluses: very friendly small town, about one...

I did ask Next Gen about a new capacitor and was told that if there was anything wrong with the capacitor I wouldn't get any AC output so I dropped the idea at that time. Of course my generator could be the exception. A problem is the way the generator was shoehorned in to the bilge. Getting the...

Final update! I know a lot of you have strongly recommended Pro Mariner but they have not been very helpful to me. On my second call to Pro Mariner the gentleman said that the problem was simply that my generator producing 137 volts was "confusing" the Pro Mariner 1230iPlus charger because it...

So I had a little time this morning to try removing the positive lead from the charger to the generator starting battery. That made sense to me and I had high hopes. But (drum roll!) it didn't make any difference. Still no charging! When I adjusted the throttle down on the motor to 60 Hz that...

EngNate I will try your suggestion of disconnecting the charger output to the generator starting battery to see if this solves the problem. I didn't get time today since that battery is very hard to get to. Thanks!

Thanks again for all the suggestions. I didn't get a chance to get to the boat and do some of the testing that you have suggested until today. As someone guessed the generator and battery charger both seem to be original equipment from 2002 or near that time, not something installed yesterday...

Thank you! Thanks for the suggestions! I will call the Pro Mariner people again tomorrow (Monday) to see if they will tell me anything about their new chargers and if they will work with a modified sine (square) wave. I don't make any pretension at understanding electrical work, hence my...

I know this is an old problem but I'd like suggestions on the best "current" solution. I have an 2002 Albin 28 TE with a ProMariner ProTech 1230iPlus battery charger (30 amps, 3 banks) and a Next Gen UMC-1 3.5 KW generator. I assume these are either original equipment or were added soon after...

New Mavic Mini Owner Hi! A couple of comments from a new Mavic Mini owner. I bought the fly more bundle with the extra batteries, case, etc. I think it is a good bargain if you are going to buy the drone. The Mini is easy to operate even for a beginner (this is only my second drone). There are...

I hope you post your results with some pictures! I've been thinking of putting a hatch in the pilot house top of my Albin 28 also. My major concern, besides the camber of the top, is whether sunlight coming through the hatch at certain angles will make it hard to see my MFD mounted above the helm.

I've had one of these anchors on my 20' bay boat for about 8 years. In our area with 7 feet of tide change twice a day you have to have an anchor that holds well in several knots of current. It bought this anchor after having several other anchors fail to set is swift tidal current and it rarely...
