Will be on Amelia Island late winter. In preparation for future ICW cruising, I hope to spend a day on a captained boat.
We have never cruised the waterway and want to get a feel for it. Things like:
running in and out an inlet
anchoring
negotiating a drawbridge
entering a marina or two...
2005 vintageC120 with new Navionics card. Every other marine GPS I've owned(small Garmins on fishing boats) leaves a trail on the screen of where I've been. Makes it nice for the return trip.
This Raymarine plotter leaves no such trail, and I can't find a setting that turns that feature on...
Just moved 390 MY to new location. New slip has a double 30 amp hookup. My boat is 50 amp. I'm told I need a pigtail fitting to split my 50 socket into two 30's.

Just purchased a 2005 390 MY. Should be delivered within a few weeks. It is my first diesel powered boat.

Anyone encountered this? Maybe some aftermarket option?
Just bought a 390. Need to have it moved overland. Anyone done this without removing the hardtop? Can anyone recommend a good mover in mid Atlantic area?
