A fore and aft talk-listen hailer is a feature I would have used on my 42 Post and it definitely would have been nice on some of the bigger boats I ran. The wireless remote microphone will be a nice feature for those that operate bigger boats with upper and lower decks that need to be traversed.

I saw the GX6500 radio this weekend at the Atlantic City boat show.

My take, since it is not clear, and to add more useless nautical nomenclature. Finger pier - dock projecting from land: Part of dock attached to land is the stern, part jutting out to sea, the bow, as you walk from the land towards the water, your left side is port. As you approach for a bow-in land...

My local Costco carries Interstate. My curiosity will have me check to see what they have in marine battery choices.

So Jim, are you to run a new battery along with an 8 year old battery on the same charging system?

Yes, I am aware your find is in Michigan, was just posting a 'story'

The Lake George boat, although claimed by the person in the article, was known to divers, just not made public. Us divers don't want our "secret" sites to get out you know.

Who knows, maybe you found something historic, or just somebody's derelict.

Also, if you record two waypoints, which one do you return to? I hope you don't say that you first go to one of the two positions and then head for the other position. That is not returning to a waypoint. Well I respectively disagree here. If record 1, 2 or more waypoints around a sonar target, and...

Putting an anchor down 600 feet away and ending up over the wreck is another story that is part science and part magic. Just need to spend some time practicing it. On smaller boats (typically a six pack) we usually would just anchor into a wreck. On some of the larger boats we either anchored direc...

Two waypoints, the second taken on a reciprocal course will greatly increase your chances of relocating a target. I don't quite understand the mechanism that causes this to occur. Please explain in more detail why you think this outcome occurs. Also, if you record two waypoints, which one do you re...

Two waypoints, the second taken on a reciprocal course will greatly increase your chances of relocating a target. Learning to optimize your sonar settings and due diligence on your search patterns will increase your odds as well. Wreck hunting (or any sonar target) has come a long way from the days ...

My guess as to why the engine folks don't modify the outboard has to do with every hull being different and they don't know what hull the outboard is going to hang on.

I put a Doel-fin on my Honda 50 powered 1983 15 CC. Didn't think it did anything so I took it off and filled the holes.

I have tabs. The Permatrims--this specific product--offers and claims a different benefit.

Outrage hulls tend to be a bit heavy for the size, probably more so with the 1999 / 2000 / 2001 models.
Anyone have any experience with Permatirms plates that mount on the anti-ventilation plate of the lower unit?

So, test it before you replace an out dated cylinder and triggering device.

At least you test outdated inflators, unlike outdated flares.

I wish Lowrance would concentrate on tech support as much as they do with launching new products. Rumors of a new mode were fueled when HDS Gen 3 prices dropped. The screen resolution increase on the CARBON 9 should be significant. If you have a pair of HDS-7 displays or a pair HDS-9 pisplays, you m...

No idea, but it kind of looks like a "Can", so maybe the channel marker?

By the way, what I like best about the video of the collision: the person making the recording was holding the camera with the proper orientation. To see a motion picture recording with the camera held correctly is becoming quite rare these days. So true. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bt9zSfinwFA

The linked video really does not give us enough information. Best I can tell, the video starts after at least one danger signal. That's assuming the horn blast at the very beginning is the 5th sound of the set. Another view http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l173/porthole2/Boats/Ferry_collison_zpsk45...
