Re: Are the cuts in the Bahamas really that dangerous?

A rage in a Bahamian cut is MUCH worse than haulover. I have seen 13' waves in a B rage, unrelated to tidal flow.

Re: Recommend a marine surveyor in NC

I recommend Rob Eberle. He has done several boats for me in the past and will come to Oriental.

Re: Mateo to Ocracoke via Old House Channel

Re: Admiral Cats

We have a 2006 Admiral 38. Great boat with surprising amount of room for 38'. No special maintenance considerations (yanmar, raymarine, etc).

Re: rPI3 + openplotter -> is it a viable solution?

I am using a Boox for the e-ink display. I believe it is the C67ML. You need to side load most apps, like OpenCPN, NMEA Display and some do not run (like DragQueen). But, it has the big advantage...

Re: OpenPlotter project

I have the C80 plotter as well.

In order to get it to work, I had to redirect all the AIS data to the Raspberry Pi first. I also reprogrammed the NMEA port on the C80 to 38400 baud. The C80...

Re: Hot water system stopped working from engine heat exchanger

Are the hoses leading to and away from the heater hot? If so, the problem is in the hot water heater. If not, you may have air in the lines.

Re: ¿Radar and autopilot together?

You may want to check out the Office of Naval Research self driving boat competition. MIT won this year with a self driving RIB, I think.

Re: Electric dink motor?

We used a trolling motor for years on our dinghy. Worked great for short hops. Finally switched to a gas outboard to be able to more exploring in the dinghy.
