Dingboat,
The instructions didn't say to transfer using copy2card, but Garmin help did.
We did that, put the SD card in the chart plotter, and discovered the unit did not need an upgrade even though Garmin said there was a software update available..
Thanks
Don't seem to be able to update the software on a Garmin GPSMAP 741xs Chartplotter.
Downloaded the software update, twice, onto a new 32GB SD card using Garmin Express.
The first time I saved the download directly to the SD card.
The second time I saved the ZIP file to the SSD drive, unzipped...
I am looking for advice on what vinyl adhesive to use to glue Nautolex marine vinyl flooring onto aluminum paneling I am adding to my aluminum boat. I see Nautolex 88 adhesive ($35 quart), Roberts 6700 ($8 quart), and DAP Weldwood original contact cement ($14 quart). I am comfortable using the...
Just built a windshield for a 19-foot aluminum boat that didn't come with one. Now I need windshield support bars but don't know how high up the windshield and how far back I need to place the supports. The windshield is 26.5" high and slopes back 30 degrees. Should the bars be placed halfway up...
Need to know how to get to the fuses in a 2013 Yamaha 703 controller. While removing an on-board trolling motor battery charger I may have blown the fuses. Outboard does not turn over, the dash gauges don't work and the trim in throttle and on the outboard don't work either. All accessories...
Need a wiring schematic for a 2013 Polar Kraft Outlander 186 SC with a Yamaha 115 4 stroke outboard. Removed trolling motor and batteries and everything was fine. Removed the on-board trolling battery charger today. Outboard does not turn over now, the dash gauges don't work and the trim in...
Based on advice here I am looking at Sea Hunt and Key West dual console boats for cruising around the more or less protected waters between the many peninsulas in Maine. I like that they are deep V fiberglass boats that are made for salt water. The models I am looking at are all 21 to 23 feet...
Looking for advice on a sea worthy bow rider. Started looking at 18 - 20 foot I/O but most advice here points to a 20 - 23 w/ 115 - 150 OB made for salt water. Seems these boats are made for fresh water, even if they have an outboard, and the boats trim just won't hold up to salt water.
Now...
The Faria analog Tilt/Trim gauge does not start moving until the outboard is 1/4 way down and stops 1/4 way from the end. My guess is there is an adjusting screw on the back that lets the tilt indicator be set to the bottom when the engine is all the way down, correct?
The Faria analog speed...
Looking for a used 17 to 19 foot bowrider with a 115 to 150 HP 4 stroke outboard, preferably Yamaha. Looking to pay $20,000 or less. Intended use is pleasure boating, not fishing, on inland rivers, ponds and lakes with occasional day trips in the intercoastal waterways from the many peninsulas...
I have a small ding in the gel coat and need some tips on repairing it correctly the first time. The boat is a Kevlar kayak but how to repair gel coat should be the same no matter what boat it is on. As you can see in the photo, the ding is right where the chine (bend in the shape of the hull)...
Have heard that several people have had good luck using the hardener for Valspar Implement paint from Tractor Supply with Rust-Oleum oil based top paint. My local TSC no longer carries Valspar, they carry Magic paint instead. Anyone use the Magic hardener with Rust-Oleum?
Re: How to match a compressor with an HVLP paint gun
OK, here is the latest work done. Cut and fitted the side panels, mounted the front and rear pedestal seat bases and installed the passenger seat bases. Next step is to remove all panels, spar varnish the cut edges, carpet and re-install.
Re: How to match a compressor with an HVLP paint gun
Well here is the next installment. What a lot of work cutting and fitting each panel, not to mention installing the piano hinges. Took forever, then when you think all is aligned with a neat 1/4" spacing between panels to allow for carpeting...
