Hello all! For anyone that has replaced the original RCL-100 spotlight any recommendations on replacements?
Not excited about the prospect of spending >$1,000 for an exact replacement, especially given documented history of various types of failures.
Hello all, I'm currently considering an enclosure for my boat. Sadly, when I purchased the boat last year it didn't come with the frame or canvas for the original enclosure. So, I only have the frame and canvas for the original bimini and the bimini side curtains.
I recently received a quote...
Does anyone have a dedicated trim tabs circuit breaker in the group of rocker switches at the helm? The manual reads "(Trim tabs) are protected by a circuit breaker on the helm switch panel which must be ON to use the trim planes (tabs)." However, I don't see anything labeled as such at the...
On another topic, anyone have an autopilot installed? Any recommendations on brand/model? This would be a brand new install. Anything apart from the AP and its components that would be required for my boat?
Wow! I completely missed a lot of activity on this thread. Just to answer some of the questions posed earlier. This was the complete cost breakdown:
- 20' IWV Teak @ $1425
- 120' binding @ $600
- 240 snaps @ $400
- Labor (install, templates, etc.) @ $500
So...almost $2500 in materials...
Hello everyone, I'm in the market for new carpet. I'm thinking about purchasing the Infinity Woven "Better Than Teak" product based on the great feedback about that on this forum. I received a quote from a local installer that suggested that the cost for the snaps alone for my boat would be...
Thanks everyone! I'll check out Hydro-Tunes. I've called Platinum Marine, Sail and Ski, Five Star, just about any place that mentions electronics in their service description and they all recommend Boudreault Marine for this type of job. Problem is...while everyone gives them rave reviews, he...
Hello All,
Not sure whether I'm posting this in the correct forum. However, I'm curious whether anyone has a recommendation for a marine electronics installer in the Austin, TX area (or services the Austin, TX area).
I just recently purchased a new marine electronics package...
Thanks! Yeah, I realized after seeing everything in place that 28" TVs probably would have been the sweet spot. But, after several trips to the store from the marina I decided to keep what I had. :smt001
Both TVs are mounted on full motion mounts. Given the arm length of the mount, I could...
Fair enough. :smt001
Here are a couple. I'll try to get some more of the mount. Everything is secure. But, it's not as polished as I'd like. I drilled the cabinet holes for the galley TV too close to the wall. As a result, I was unable to get the grommets I purchased to fit. That said, it...
Thanks for all the feedback!
I started off with number 2. I purchased a couple mounts from Amazon. The screws were 2 3/4 in., which I knew would be way too long. So, I purchased the same thread size screw from HD, but only 1in. long. Happy to report that mounting the TVs in the master...
Hey folks, still in small project mode on my (new to me) boat.
I have some more questions that are hopefully pretty easy.
1. Has anyone replaced the original dual trumpet horn? If so, do you recall how to access the mounting screws to remove them?
2. I'm planning to install a full motion...
Yeah, definitely a sticker shock. But, I was able to find this, which is the best deal I've found this far.
