    Furuno Radar -

    The Furuno Radar decided to not work right this year. The radar only picks up 0-10% of what is out there. The Tuning indicator bar in the top right of the screen (which is supposed to read 50-80%) reads between 10-25% at best. If you crank the gain all the way up, small dots will appear...

I noticed underneath the Mastervolt battery charger there was a gold color block with heat sinks that looked burnt. I replaced the batteries and they work well. I still do have a...

    Hauled the Boat - Pics & Lift Works Again

    Hauled the boat for fresh bottom paint & new zinks. The hydraulic lift wouldn't work this year, pressures/everything checked out okay from inside the boat. Culprit ended up being barnacles, which were holding the safety latch shut. Works like a charm again! Also had a nice 1/2 line around the...
