Thanks guys. I'll check the connections. It is just a bit weird because the only thing that happened between the night when we set anchor and leaving in the morning was that 2 adults, 3 children, and 1 jack russel actually had a peaceful nights sleep. No one even opened the engine hatch or the...

If that is the problem...thank you - thank you - thank you!

thanks for the quick response. I had one of those breakers for the windlass, just ahead of the batteries, which was tripped when I first got the boat. So I know what you are talking about. I'll have to take a look for another one controlling the dash gauges.

Last weekend my family spend the night on the hook and everything worked fine. In the morning we went to leave and the boat started/ran fine but none of the gauges worked. I checked the fuse panels and didn't see any that were tripped and even pushed everyone just to check. I turned the...

Does anyone have any thoughts as to why my gauge panel isn't working, but everything else works fine. I posted my question, but haven't heard a peep from this talkative group. Did I forget to submit annual dues or something? We are going on a 60 mile trip on Friday and I'd really like to get...

I think I've seen the answer to my question somewhere in here but I just can't find it. So here is the question. On Friday my family went out and spent the night on the hook. Everything worked fine. Saturday Am when I started the engines up, everything ran fine, but all of my gauges were...

I have the whole canvas package, but the front curtain needs the isenglass replaced and one zipper on the aft side curtain needs to be sewn. So, if there is anyone in need of any of the good pieces Bimini tops (front and rear), rear camper frame, side curtains, or storage boots give me a ring...

I have a complete camper canvas for a 280 Sundancer. This is the original Tan canvas and it is in decent shape. Two weekends ago we were caught in a storm which caused some minor damage, so I'm using this opportunity to change canvas configuration and color. We just don't use the camper...

2008 West Marine 11.5' Zodiac has high pressure floor, wood bench seat, oars. The zodiac is just a bit too big for towing behind our boat so we need to get rid of her. It comes with a '87 Suzuki DT9.9 2 stroke outboard that runs great. The engine cover was painted by the previous owner and...

I may be interested. Can you post some pics?

Thanks MonacoMike. I'll give my buddies at West Marine a call before we get her back in the water.

I've got about 25' of chain spliced to a cheap rode (came with the boat) and now the rode is looking chafed. I'd like to swap out the existing rode for 8-plait (it seems that it will work better in the Lewmar windlass but I'm just a little concerned about doing the spice myself. We spend a lot...

I think you're going to be lucky to find one here....I went to the West Marine and the only store that had it was Annapolis. You may want to call and get it ordered, or call Garmin direct. You can download it from Garmin's site, but then you can only use it on the device that you download it...

Steve, We thought our windlass motor was fried (same boat and year), but after a little investigation I found a single high voltage breaker that had tripped. The breaker is mounted in the engine compartment on the port side, ahead of the batteries, on the gunwale. It was difficult to find...

Oh...my wife is reserving Fortune 500 until we get the 52 sedan bridge.......
