I upgraded boats and therefore chart plotter equipment from Raymarine e165 to Axiom PRO. I have a Navionics Platinum SDcard (with MSD also) of Eastern Great Lakes (901+) for sale for $65. It does not work in Lighthouse 3 environment. e165 runs in LH2 environment. PM me if interested. New they...
It is likely, there is a Navionics chip in your E80. If so, it will depend on which "region" the former owner purchased. Navionics charts are available with US coverage or down to a small area.
We left early on the 4th and ran from Mac Ray Harbor (Lake St Clair) to Rogers City. 240 miles in 9.5 hours. Lake Huron was like a mirror!
We stopped for fuel in Harrisville ($3.10). As stated, Presque Isle is a nice picturesque harbor but no fuel this summer. Thus we went to Roger City. Nice...
Agree Lexington, Port Austin and East Tawas are all worthy destinations. However, if you are planning to stop in Port Austin on your way north, do not cut the corner short. You have to stay north of the Port Austin Reef Light rounding the corner for Port Austin. It can be very shallow inside...
Navionics came out with a product called NavPlanner about 10 years ago that permitted the creation of waypoints, tracks and routes on your home computer which then could be transferred to a CF card.
I used it for a bit. Ended up finding it just as easy to create them on my boat.
It looks like...
Brad...yes we have been in the club for about 13 years now. I served on the board for 9 years. Good group of people and they are always coming up with new activities. I think you'll enjoy it. We were unable to make the member meeting as we were out of town.
Looking forward to meeting you...
Brad...we are in 124 Amber. I plan to take the shrink off Wednesday, get it waxed by Friday then, hopefully, launch next week if there is a good weather day. Feel free to stop by or let me know when you are in.
By the way, there is a club (Mac Ray Yacht Club) made up of people at Mac Ray...
Hello Brad. Well it appears we've already been introduced. Thanks everyone for the kind comments. Welcome to the Great Lakes and MacRay Harbor. We have been there since 2002 and love it.
Let me know if you'd like any local knowledge about the area or Great Lakes destinations. We've been just...
We just completed our 7th year with our 2010 450 Sundancer with Zeus drives. We are very happy with the drives. Performance has been great. No issues. The joy stick is wonderful. Good luck in your search.
Leaving the St Clair River into the lake, if you stay in the shipping channel until buoy #8, you can then turn in a northesterly direction toward Kettle Point without any concern with the fishing nets.
We visited there last August and the diesel fuel was $1.15 per liter. Wow.
Enjoyed our...
I have a small amount of mildew stain on the top of some bolsters. Other than Magic Eraser and 303, are there any other cleaning processes anyone can recommend?
Thanks
