I never was a fan of the Navigator series. I had a customer that wanted one on his Meridian, since he had it on his SR. Maptech said they couldn't support them anymore, because the tech who designed the systems left the company. It was scary that they had all their eggs in one basket, with such...

Have you been able to check the voltage coming out of your battery switch?? The only place both the dash feed and engine come from is the switch. Try there and see what you have.

I Think most Best Buys carry them. The last few I have been doing have been coupled with a Jensen 12v DVD player. It's hard to find a better setup :)

I have been using (and so have a few other guys on here), the insignia LED tv. They work like a charm.

This weather is relentless. We are running about 2 weeks behind on some of our big jobs we have going on. Loosing a day or two here and there isn't that bad, but this weather affects everything. Even UPS and USPS run a few days behind. It's a like a snow ball effect, and we just can't get ahead...

Take a look at: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=148&pID=402 This GPS is portable, and you can use it on the boat, or on the car. Dosen't get much better than that. Only downfall is the lack of a touch screen for car use.

Close.... it's South Jersey. How do you like it at Canyon Club??

Anyone have any good storm photos from this year??? This was sent to me from a friend in Cape May, NJ. Look at all the bent out riggers on the boats!!

The plastic itself is not designed for weight, you can out your finger right through it. However, the surface of the plastic is so slick that most all snow slides right off, especially with a bit of wind. If you find pockets of snow or ice on your plastic, it wasn't done right.

I think this is one of the grey areas that no one can anwser. Technicaly you are required to have a NJ boating certificate, but I'm sure they would be lenient if you were just passing through. I dont know how they could expect anyone from another state far away to take the test if they are...

One of the other things you might want to think about is adding in a 12V dvd Player. I have used: http://www.boemarine.com/Products/DV2007/Default.aspx many times with great results. It's nice that you can stash it in the cabin, or have it closer to the TV. Having a TV antenna is great, but...

It's all part of living in the best state around:smt101:smt101:smt101. It should be a uniformed system across the board. One license, and maybe endorsements, just like a CDL. One for jetskis, one for fresh water, one for pleasure boating, and one for commercial use.

The boating license and the Safety Certificate are two different animals. Even if you have the boat endorsement on your license, you still need to carry the certificate when on your boat. At least that was the way it was explained to me.

I have done it many times, but I only use one brand of TV when I do it. I have ran the Insignia TV's up over 28 volts, and down to 10 volts with no problems at all.

Right now you have to look at cruising you do mostly. If you are mostly cursing the ICW, then you don't need a oversized unit. If you often find yourself cruising the ocean, or heading up and down the coast, you are going to want one with better range. Most all are going to have the same...

The Blue Sea ACR's are one of the best products they have in their lineup. I have installed about 150 in the last two years, and have yet to have a issue with any one of them. Installation is straight forward, and the come with a almost lifetime warranty. As for your alternator, if you find...

I would be willing to bet that somone switched the #2 battery and common posts on the back of the switch.

Try EBay. They always have tons on there. All you need is a make and model or a bolt patern.

I would replace them with LED strip lights. They give off a much brighter light, and will last damn near forever. Sounds like they aren't in a easily servicable location!!

Four... Thanks for the reply. It looks like you are a tech guy like myself :). That's a nice looking system, and agree about things looking stock. Lighting is never over kill :). You are right about the home works system being massive. There are several systems that are much more affordible and...
