Outrage 25, Twin E-TEC: Minimalist Instrumentation

After reading all of Jim's very complete E-TEC and NMEA-2000 reference guides I have settled on this for the small console. 1) Use a custom hybrid cabling setup. 2) Use two (existing) modular cables (MWS) for: --a) two "System Check" 2 inch lamp-fields with horns --b) a standard dual key a...

Outrage 25, Twin E-TEC: Minimalist Instrumentation

My Outrage 25 Whaler Drive has the Montauk center console. I was dreading redoing the [more than six] gauges that consumed most of the console's space with the 1980's motors. I was thinking of using two ICON Pro 4-inch or two SystemCheck Tachometer gauges, but then started thinking I could do it wit...

Re: Notched Outrage 25 with a 300 G2

Wow Peter, I did not see that on my initial viewing... (iPhone) After looking again I see that @ 47MPH the display had 2.0 MPG (amazing). After I get my twin 2.6l e-tec units rigged we will have something to compare with (although mine has a Whaler Drive). We really need a fully funded Continuous Wa...

USCG Encrypted Radio Traffic

The thing I don't like about the Rescue 21 system is that all CG patrol traffic has relocated to the government portion of VHF and utilizes Project 25 (P25) digital voice. With that switch, VHF channels 21/22 have been used to only coordination with local government boats (or talking to the boat in ...

GM WeatherPack Electrical Connections
