Picked up a Garmin GPSMAP546S last summer. Have some concerns about power consumption with extented use, which is substantial compared to the smaller units. The clarity of the screen is wonderful. Used a Garmin 76 for years, but as I get older, I appreciate the larger color display. Haven't used the...

I dealt with Raymarine Repair Center last year this time. My ancient, but beloved Autohelm AH2000 actuator had fractured a bearing and was audibly crunching within. Raymarine told me that one of their techs might have some old Autohelm parts stashed outback. So I shipped the unit to them. Turns out ...

Thank you Francis !

I use a few wraps of electrical tape on the pump/engine hose connection...

Thank You Rich & Ray, The Brownel sizing summary gets to the point and makes sense..... I'm chasing some used stands posted locally; the source of my 48"-65" dimenson, but have yet to get a call back. Finding 4 solid properly sized jack stands for $150 would make for a great day. I'll ...

Hello, I've been renting a set of jack stands from my boatyard for many years @ $125/yr. After having paid for them several times over, I've decided to buy a set . My boat is a CD27, and I suspect that 48"-65" jack stands would work. Can anyone confirm this or provide apppropriate size inf...
