    Garmin 5212 Replacement/Upgrade

    All your chart and software updates can happen through ActiveCaptain so you shouldn't need to access the physical card very often if at all. That said, I do have the remote card reader because...nerd. To connect your VHF to your 2 MFDs you will need; - 1 NMEA backbone cable - 3 terminators - 3...

    Bikini forum due to popular demand

    You gotta wonder. Are there humans behind these AI Bots, or are they just running amok on the internet? We should track them down. I wonder if bot-murder is a thing.

    Ignition key is not turning anymore

    I'd try spraying some silicon lube into the key cavity and then quickly moving the key in and out of the ignition 10 or so times. These switches can get gummed up at which point the springs aren't able to line up the tumblers. If that doesn't work, you'll probably need to replace the ignition...

    Adding a Third Battery

    Sounds like you are off to a great start. Adding an additional battery in parallel shouldn't require any other changes as long as you don't go crazy with additional loads. The idea here is to last longer with your current typical load, not to add additional load, as may be the temptation. That...

    Hull cracked and water dripping

    My guess is, leaving it in the water for a month saturated the exposed stringer(s). That is pronounced $$$$

    Hull cracked and water dripping

    Still dripping after 5 months, or did you use the boat recently? Sea Ray sport cruisers are solid core below the waterline.

    Adding a Third Battery

    I guess it depends on your current setup and how much room you have. My 310 came with 2 "house batteries" on one bank and one battery on the other. The house bank starts the genie and the starboard engine and runs †he cabin. The other bank starts the port engine and runs the helm electronics. I...

    Deodorant......all over

    What if we find out that pheromones are the only thing that makes us want to do the nasty. Extinction by deodorant. Who woulda thunk it?

    Lake Michigan Resident and Never Owned A Boat. Whats A Good Length To Start Out

    Given your stated usage, I'd think 30 - 32' would be reasonable / minimum. Anything smaller likely precludes overnight guests, at least with any comfort. You didn't mention whether you expect to slip the boat or trailer it. That will have a huge impact on what is feasible.

    New boat, comments?

    I'd find one with an outboard especially if you're going to salt.

    ActiveCaptain channel markers

    The channel markers should show up as part of your chart subscription. Maybe just need to play with the map layers.

    Best years for used SR? Are certain models / years more reliable, better made than others?

    Something to be wary of. I believe it was 2010? when Sea Ray began using model numbers that reflected LOA (including the swim platform). So a 2009 310 would be equivalent to a 2010 330. I may have the exact years wrong, but you get the idea.
