Datamarine Owners a Question

I''ve got the same setup. The dimmer only dims the odometer on that pannel (not too useful, huh!). Your instruments, located remotely, must have the switch in the back set to "night". That way,...

I''ve had very good luck with an liquid antifouling wax. Just apply it with a rag at least 24 hours before you are going to put the boat in the water. Did a great job for the entire season. Also,...

Hi Dennis -

Yes - I''d like to hear more about the turbine. They make turbines that mount in the rigging? That''s interesting. As I mentioned before, my transom is fairly cluttered due to the...
