Re: Inverter Question

It's a great looking boat. I hope you can get your concerns answered. It depends how you are going to use it that would make up my mind after a survey.

Re: Accessory Switch

I had my 10 Meter 3 years befor I found out one of my accessory switches was for my Fireboy bilge fume detector.I just thought it didn't work. I had my dash apart one day and traced the wire to the Fireboy.

Re: Windshield Grounding 10 Meter Express

I had the same issue with my 10 Meter... Lost the mast light and the wipers! The ground wire and stem are probably corroded... You get to the nut side of the stem in the cabin in the access panel on the ceiling of the cabin at the bottom of the steps. The Top side is probably what's causing your is...

Re: Windshield Grounding 10 Meter Express

I did a temporary fix. I took the lead from my port windshield wiper motor and used as a ground to my windshield. Then I unplugged from the wiper switch and hooked it up to the ground buss in my dash board. This will work until I can remove my deck furniture and run a heavier ground. The lead is 14 ...

My meter shows 12.6 volts at the light but when I hook it back up nothing. my test light wont even light up. I ended up running a jumper from the light to a good ground and it works. I tightened and ruffe...

Re: Color Sonar With 10" Touch Screen Under $150

Flyboy - Were we building docks together? Saw your boat last weekend. We went with Rich to move his Roamer back home last Saturday. Small world. Will have to look both you guys up next time we are there. Great place at North Shore and the Boat House! Jhalb - which version of Navionics do you run? W...

Re: Color Sonar With 10" Touch Screen Under $150

After you download you map it works just like my car gps. No data connection needed for either app. I can go out at night with no moon and get around fine, that's if the river doesn't have a lot of trash floating down stream. Great addition for my IPad.

Re: Color Sonar With 10" Touch Screen Under $150

I put the transducer in my bilge by my fresh water pump. I ran the line through my closet where I mounted the direct
wifi box. I hooked up the power to the old refridgerator 12 volt supply line that was not used.

Color Sonar With 10" Touch Screen Under $150

I have been using the Navionic's Chart Plotter app for my I Pad for a year. I just bought the Vexilar Sonar Phone Transducer and direct WiFi box that works with the Navionic's app. I took me about 30 minutes to install. The Sonar Phone app is free and the T-Box and transducer is $149. I took picture...

Re: Spring is Here!!!

De-Winterized the boat this weekend, went out on the river for a few hours. Everything worked great. Hoping for not much flooding this year. Started getting ready but I have a transmission leak. Leaked out over the winter. Hope it is a cooling hose or something minor. River looks great. Hope to see...

Location of in hull transducer

I am getting ready to install a sonar transducer in my hull. I have 3 possible locations picked out. 1) next to my depth transducer by my water pump mid ship, 2) under my generator 3) by my stern. The advantage of #1 is if you are in shallow water going slow you have a second before you get to your ...
