I have the BoatSafe 750 installed on the genny platform and it's hardwired to the main switch panel in the cabin. It has its own 15A breaker, where I had a blank for the Galley Stove, since my stove is butane. I also have a remote temp in the bilge, so I can check the min/max when I visit the...

Good to know the 3 hour estimate sounds about right...I'll install it on the genny platorm as well, so it spreads the heat out from the center...did not know I needed to remove interior panels...good to know and thanks... the BoatSafe will be great when I leave the boat at the yard to get the...

Dave, The dealer estimated at best it would take 3 hours ($118 rate per hour) to install my BoatSafe heater wired to my switch panel, where I have an empty slot label of Stove (my Stove is butane). This sounds very expensive and would think it would take only an hour at most. I think I can do...

Thanks Dave!

Todd - Nothing planned for this fall, but that could change...Looking forward to the Jan 2010 boat show to check out some GPS setup first... I did notice on this BoatUS website that the registration does not include international, as I do plan to go up to Canadain waters in the future. Should...

Todd - Yep...found the link at: https://www.boatus.com/mmsi/default.asp Looks like an easy online process... safety first!

Todd - I have the Northstar NS100 that came with the boat and it is DSC capable. Reading the manual, it seems very easy to setup and use... I plan to get my MMSI and connect the unit to my yet-to-be-purchased GPS before I head into the San Juan Islands and beyond next year..I will do it mainly...

Well, I have been enjoying this thread and just joined the club! I keep my boat moored in a local fresh water covered marina, so I can take the kids out tubing on the lake or slip thru the locks for a cruise in the Puget Sound and ports beyond... My first boat, but grew up around power and sail...
