I would like to announce the working prototype of a Keypad I have developed to replace the OEM EIM keypads. These keypads completely integrate into the existing vessel's EIM system without replacing relay boxes, re-wiring or temporary repairs. I am going into production now and should have a...

Hi, I'm looking for some recommendations on depth transducers. I have a twin I/O boat that I am debating getting a Raymarine Axiom MFD. However I am unsure what to do about depth transducers. Depth is probably the most important gauge I have on the boat since I'm in shallow waters and pull up...

Hi All, I'm debating between Lumitec SeaBlaze X2 or Quattro underwater lights. White/Blue dual color only. I have a Sundancer 290 with 9.5' beam with twin I/Os. I would like to add 3 lights as shown below. However the SeaBlaze X2 draw 5 Amps each which put me at 15 Amps total, which is quite...

We went to Northport this weekend to the sand bar. Harbormaster came over to kick us off because the beach was closed. It was hard to hear him so I couldn't understand the explanation. We were below bird nesting area, probably 10 ft from the water. Is this COVID related restriction or something...

I've been investigating adding solar to my boat and found a company called Victron Energy that makes MPPT controllers. I've been so impressed by the products this company makes I thought I would share them. I think they are a game changer for the consumer marine industry - yet a lot of people...

I'm looking at Raymarine and Garmin MFDs. Leaning towards Axiom 9 or 12. There is an abundance of remanufactured units being sold for a highly attractive ~$1k off. The only downside of at least Raymarine is you can't apply for their free 3 year upgrade from standard 2 year warranty. But I'm...

I’ve been wanting to show off my stereo upgrade/install on a 2008 Sundancer 290 in case it helps other or gives ideas. The goal for the project [for now] was to continue using the Clarion CMD4 head unit but replace the cockpit and cabin speakers, upgrade amps, add bluetooth to aux in, and add a...

I'm trying to figure out these trim sender parts numbers. I have Smartcraft gauges with DTS. Currently I have a 2 wire puck on starboard and a 3 wire puck on port on each outdrive. On my old boat they used a analog sender and a trim limit. Sounds like these are a digital and an analog sender...

I purchased a boat with known bad generator Kohler 5ECD generator. These are the fuel injected generators and many people seem to have similar issues to what I am facing. Hoping to share some of what I learned. Problem description is the generator would not start intermittently. Some days it...

Hi All, I have a 2008 290, new boat to me, and one of the first upgrades is sound system as its probably the most important aspect of the boat! Going to install either JL MX650 or MX770 in the sides at bottom of arch. Disconnect the "front" speakers which are blocked by the cabin door and...
