Re: IPad Nav Software decision (again) ...

I paid for Navionics twice, and then yearly, but it's pretty cheap. The routes are stored in the Navionics​ Cloud somewhere so I can create one on one device and then retrieve it on another

The long arm from Sailrite is longer I think. From the pictures it looks like the one for sale is the regular. The closeout at Sailrite of the 2 point, regular arm is 2300 and you get a table and...

Re: Water pump will not turn off

In addition to the electric pump I have a hand pump also on my fresh water, it often takes a few pumps with that to clear the line and get the electric pump to stop cycling.

Re: Any feedback from Miami boat show and news on Antares?
