12/3/2015 update I no longer have this info. Contacting Martin may be helpful.

Same experience here except it was with some new recessed shade models. Very good customer support.

Cape Dory 10. Excellent rowing/sailing dinghy. Classic lines too.

Truckers use 12v flat screen TVs.

3m makes a blue tape that is safe for 60 days. I use that for everything. Never had a problem with sun or moisture. It is part number 2080.

I use 3M 4200. 5200 was created by the devil himself!

Having a custom guard made is not very expensive. I had one made for my 35-5 a couple of years ago for about $100. They shaped it and then polished it to a mirror finish. So much nicer than anything Edson, YS or Navpod ever made. I used Nautilus Marine fabrication...

Loren, that was no lady, that was Rosanna Rosannadanna.:) I do like CL and have used it for buying and selling a few times. I tend to use ebay more as I can more easily setup Paypal payments.

+1 for Frigoboat. Running continuously for the last 2 years. Powered most of the time by solar.

That is a common area for leaks. Many things can contribute to the leaking. First is the hole where the bow light wires go down through the pulpit through the deck. Just a hole with lots of sealant that usually fails after a couple of years. The other is a crack that usually forms on the...

I use a 12v adapter. A lot of the new portable inverters have USB charging ports in them now.

Just recently installed an Amec Camino 101 AIS transponder. We went cruising for two weeks and it was great to be able to talk to other boats by name and even have a few commercial boats contact us to relay navigation info. Not a substitue for radar or a proper watch but it is a great addition.
