I am going to redo the bottom paint this winter. The bottom is blue, the rudder is white. Why? (is the rudder white) Skip Wilkins C380 #43 "Bellatrix"...
Another reason the rudder may be white is that the PO may have wanted to keep on eye on bottom growth. Slime and other stuff is much easier to spot on a white...
I wish to purchase a LCD tv for my salon, replacing the original. I would like it to interface with my Raytheon radar and navigation instruments. We, of...
Skip; There is no need for bottom-paint colours to "match". If the paint is compatible, you can even mix colours. (I've mixed "old" blue with new black and...
I am sure there are others on the list who have already installed a HDTV with their existing antenna or a new one that can share their findings. I am about 1...

I have read that some people who haul their boats in freeze zones do this so that if there is water in the rudder it will not get?thaw & freeze cycles as it...
Dennis, I installed a 26" LCD HDTV in the usual spot, on the port side of the forward salon bulkhead. As long as I was running wires, I figured that the TV...
Jeff, Assuming the coax terminal for your TV antenna was somewhere near the nav station, where did you run this(and I assume power source if on inverter) to...
Thanks for the great responses. Even some new ideas. Other questions: Can you suggest a brand more user freindly or better quality? The marine quality TVs, do...
Bill, In my 387, the coax terminal for the AM/FM/TV is in the closet on the port side of the V-berth. The gain control and 110v power supply for the antenna is...
Denise, I'm not sure if there are any marinized TVs. I bought a Sony. The main problem from glare is light that enters thru the companionway. I don't know...

Several years ago I purchased an ordinary 13" TV [RCA?] for use at the nav station. I found immediately that it often arced internally...apparently some...
Steve, I would love more details. I have a Raymarine C-120 and I know it could accept this info but the receiver and transmitter seem confusing to me. I know...
Skip, I had mine repainted this spring. There was no problems. If the Bay was clearer I think it would look cool but we don't see things like that on the Bay. ...

Hi Guys, I installed a simple AIS receiver 2 years ago and connected it with a C80 plotter I installed at the binnacle. Installation is quite straight forward....
Hi Jos, I thought about another VHF antenna for the AIS receiver but wanted maximum range so elected to use the masthead VHF antenna with a powered splitter....

In the past, some ruders (while out of the water) expanded and split due to the heat of the sun on the rudder. To minimize this, some prople painted the...

Following this, it would seem to be an issue primarily in the south with the boat out of the water. Have any of you had a rudder-damage problem possibly due to...

The freeze issue is obviously likely in our not-so-friendly north, but normally requires water intrusion before freezing becomes a problem.. Suggestion from...
Hi Clint; The answer is yes. You can either connect to a serial or USB port on your computer. The negative is you will have to duck below to monitor the...
Hi Steve, With the Raymarine C series you can indeed assign the baud rate of 38400 to allow AIS info to get to the plotter (ingoing signal), however, with the...
If you do get someone to write this article, I wonder if it can include options of including inputs from various devices through multiplexors, PCs and their...
