Sounds good, and the main reason is I want to get away from fuses and go to all breakers, I hate fuses because I don't know how many times I have had them blow, trouble shot a problem, thought I fixed it, inserted another fuse and pop! Trouble shoot some more, and pop. Running out of fuses off shore is not something I like the idea of because then you break out a jumper and that is just asking for a fire!

The Lowrance has a 2.6° beam width where as the Garmin is a 3.7° this is because of the CW technology, doesn't sound like a lot, but it gives you a whole lot more clarity in what you are seeing. Its almost 1° better accuracy.

Nope, just the way I am paying for my adventure. Got to get the boat paid for before I sell everything off so I can shove off to those exotic places!

Re: Renegade Sailing Adventures.

Made it to Central South Dakota, should be in Walcott Iowa tomorrow evening, still a long ways to go, hopefully can deliver this thing Wednesday or Thursday morning.

Took a really cool pic tonight, once I get it edited I will have to upload it here.
