    Raymarine VHF connection to SeaTalk or NMEA 0183

    It does where the Seatalk wire comes from. Data travels over the wires bidirectional. RayMarine makes a box that convert NEMA 0183 to Seatalk and the other way as well. I forget it's name but you can find it on RayMarine's site.

    Inverter guestio

    Is it an inverter or a charger? While you are away why would you want an inverter on, after all it will drain your batteries creating 120 volts AC. On the other hand, if it is a charger then you can leave it on all the time, so long as you are plugged into the shore power.

    Is the American Boating Industry DOA????

    Based upon the number of boat builders that have shut their doors in New Jersey, the industry is either dead or on life support. The export market is keeping Viking alive.

    Smell when filling vacuflush head

    Does it smell like roten eggs, if so it could be from the water sitting in the lines too long. You might also notice the smell disappears if you get water from a different marina.

    Raymarine e120 repair experience?

    A friend of mine had his E120 fail. It initially was thought to be the back light. It turned out to me much more after he sent it back. Raymarine fixed it quickly and got it back to him. It turned out to be the power board, screen and backlight. I think it was about $1,800. It turned out...

    Another, "WHo should pay" Post

    Don't hid behind emails, call the guy on the phone or better yet go see him. The next question is how do you want the guy to treat you in the future. You do not want to win this battle and lose the war. Politely let him know that "he owes you" and I bet you will collect more in the future...

    What do Al Gore and Charles Manson have in common?

    At least Charlie only killed 8 people, I wonder how many lives Gore's policy's have made miserable or ruined? They have little in common, Charlie would have loved to have had the Gore impact.
