If anyone has upgraded their autopilot and has a Raymarine S3 or S3G course computer I would be interested in purchasing it

Hi Rich,

I'm finally getting around to installing my espar heater and have another question for you. Does the hot exhaust from the heater exit your boat on the Port side or through the aft compartment and out through the transom?

Thanks, Randy

I have dealt with Binnacle both in store (in Halifax, N.S.) and on line and would recommend them without hesitation. All of my online purchases arrived quickly and well packaged and the one online return I had went smoothly as well.

Randy

I'm wondering where best to install heater and route ducting/exhaust etc. I seem to remember Russell had detailed his installation on his Lady Pauline website years ago but website is no longer active and my attempts to ...

The Origo cover is a little thinner than the one shown in the picture. I'm pretty sure that is the cover for the storage compartment immediately in front of (starboard of...) the stove. My 1982 CD28 had a hinged board exactly like that covering that compartment. Are there screw holes along the long ...

When lifting our previous CD28 with a crane, the operator had a 3 ft. Extension he would add to the rear sling for all full keel boats. Whatever you do, make sure you snugly tie the slings together to prevent them from slipping off the hull.
