    Cerakote Ceramic Coating Anybody?

    I'm not familiar with this product but you would not want to put true ceramic over top of wax. Might be ok if this is one of those "ceramic" quick detailing sprays which are hardly the same.

    @Skybolt I'm offended! 28 knot cruise here from a lowly old bridge boat.

    MMDC troubles

    My MMDC still worked but I primarily viewed the gauges on a Maretron DSM410 display and also my MFD's if desired.

    MMDC troubles

    I used the YDES-04 on my 480DB with QSM's (J1708/J1587) and they worked fine.

    Help me understand Garmin charting options

    The chart card was in the SD drive when it was trying to add my 8617 again. It never referenced the card at any time and add device just kept making me log in again. I’m just going to purchase the subscription and move on to other projects. Lol

    Help me understand Garmin charting options

    Yes, I've been using Active Captain to perform software updates for about 6 months and all equipment is listed as registered. I didn't want to mess with the charts during the season since they were working fine and am just now getting around to figuring out how to update them. I think the...

    Help me understand Garmin charting options

    My charts block is greyed out so I was also confused by @BlueYonder's comment about purchasing charts through Express where I dont' see any option to do that. If I click on "add a chart" it just scans for an SD card.

    Help me understand Garmin charting options

    I set up Garmin Express earlier today and tried that with the SD card but it only finds and wants to add my 8617 instead of the chart. The 8617's are already listed in my account. This creates an endless loop if I select add device. How do I get current Navionics+ charts without the...

    Help me understand Garmin charting options

    Thank you, I was able get the previous owner to relinquish ownership shortly after purchasing the boat. Now all of the networked Garmin equipment is listed in my Active Captain account and I'm able to perform software updates. Is this the registration that you are referring to or do I still...

    Help me understand Garmin charting options

    This weekend I confirmed that my 8617's have built-in charts that have not been updated since the units were installed around 2018. I also found a Bluechart G3 Vision Mid-Atlantic (VUS512L) card that was not in the card reader. I have no idea how old this card is or how to find out the...

    This is the card reader that is installed, it does not look to be the USB model.

    Help me understand Garmin charting options

    Thanks for the replies. Correct, the 8617's use a separate Garmin card reader which uses SD cards instead of the micros. I'm able to and do perform equipment updates often using Active Captain but from memory, everything syncs but the charts so will have to see exactly what I have this weekend...
