So for years I didn't adequately track the maintenance that I did on my boat, and then subsequently did an inadequate job keeping a list in a physical log book. When I went to sell my prior boat, I found that I had to try to figure it all out, and it wasn't easy. Now, with a new boat, I'm...

Hi there electronics aficionados. I am hoping that someone can give me a quick hand figuring out what connector I should use on my remote radio mic. I have a 604 in the cabin with a Command Mic ii in the cockpit. The command mic plug has gotten wet and corroded to uselessness. Icom will...

Hi all, I'm (still) thinking about buying an older Ericson 29 as my first "big" boat. The one I'm looking at needs some work and doesn't come with any electronics other than a VHF. I live on Lake Michigan (in Chicago), and don't plan on any major trips other than sailing around the area. If I...

Post fire, Beneteau 373 "In over my head" PROJECT boat I’m the proud new owner of ’06 Beneteau 373 project boat. She’s sustained some significant fire damage from a boat that burned to a crisp just one slip over. (Link below). I expect I’ll hear a lot of “you’re in over your head kid” over the...

I have been a Catalina Owner (Capri 14.2, Capri 22, and Capri 25) for now must be 15 years. I've been VERY happy with the quality of those boats, and they've all sailed quite well. Our little lake sail club races every 2 weeks during the summer, and a couple charity races, and our "A" fleet is...

I want to connect my TackTick wind instrument to my NMEA 2000 network. The T122 interface is NMEA 183. Can it be wired into a 2000 network?

Hi I have a thru hull transducer that is in a very difficult place to replace. It is circa early '70s and was hooked to a Raytheon Fathometer DE-738L. Is there a way to test it? Can it be used with a new Standard Horizon chartplotter? Thanks Tom

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum. I am interested in knowing what are the expenses related to the electronics on board yachts. How often do marine devices fail or need to be replaced with better and up-to-date ones? Although the total cost of ownership concerns more the acquisition and...
