    Low Compression on Survey

    Thanks everyone for the great information. I walked away yesterday. Actually met the seller as well. Meticulous person. Kept a log of everything he has done to the boat maintenance wise. Professionally serviced. Bought fuel from the same place I buy fuel since the boat was new. He is...

    Low Compression on Survey

    All, I am in contract on a 2007 Sea Ray 290 Amberjack. The survey went amazingly well until we got to the engines. The boat is in perfect condition, dry as a bone etc.. I had Marine Max do compression which came back bad. The owner had his own service company repeat the tests as follows...

    Replace raymarine 215

    The new Ray 60 is a touch larger than your opening and might be worth it vs. fixing. Good luck

    Beam Vacuum Motor Filter

    I have the Beam 35 and just changed the bag. There is a filter on top of the motor that also needs to be replaced. I don't want to break the housing. Does anyone know the best way to open that and change the filter? There are 2 metal clamps on either side of the motor. Thanks, Dan

    Micro SD and SD cards

    So, I admit I am not an electronics buff. I installed my new C 97 and for the life of me, could not figure out how to put the D@#$ SD card in a slot that it would not fit. But, the Navionics person I bought it from swore it was the correct card for the C 97. I brought it back home and was...

    Anyone Replace C70 or C80 with Raymarine C 97?

    I currently have a c70 that is giving me some problems and it appears the Raymarine C97 would be a good replacement for the space as well as integrate with my old radar and autopilot. Has anyone done this and specifically on a 203.5 340 sundancer? Any help, advice, tricks would be appreciated...

    Lake Michigan Navigation Chart - Recommendations?

    I would stay with Richardson's if you travel a lot. If you don't, the cost seems like a waste for all the extra areas and ports of call. It might be better to get a back up GPS like Navionics for your smart phone or tablet for 30 bucks. Dan

    Looking for a Surveyor and Transporter in Lake St Clair Area

    I would strongly recommend taking the 39 MY down by water. I brought mine up by truck only because the Erie Canal was closed and they were not sure for how long. My boat was on the east coast by St. Augustine. It took me a year to find all the kinks that occur when you take them apart. Once...

    Park Place Marina - Put in Bay

    Make sure you ask for the 20 bucks in restaurant dollars. They have a midweek special. Both The Keys and the Boardwalk you can use the credit. We have had good food and service this summer dan

    Shout Out to Raymarine for Microphone Fix

    Just a big shout out for Raymarine fixing my mic on my Ray 215 vhf. As all your posts stated, it was 75.00 plus shipping. Much better than purchasing a new one. But, the big shout out goes to their customer service and Linda who got it back to me in record time, ready for our summer cruise. Dan
