It seems that time is bigger during the week, and smaller on the weekend. :(

Oh, on the display? Nope, I got nothin.
Green horn why do I think of you sticking this on your dash?

Oh cool - will the tower come all the way down with the bimini still up?

Re: How to lower R series Arch

That is all I did to lower the arch on my R3. I only did it one time just to see how it worked. It took a little effort at first to get it moving and then it was very easy to lower. If I remember correctly I grabbed the middle part of the most forward facing bar and pulled down. Thanks - did it sta...

How to lower R series Arch

Our R5 ha the Arch with Bimini. Its anchored with two large hand screws. Even after removing the screws, it is almost impossible to move. There are some cables that still keep it largely in place.

Nothing in the manual or online I could find.

Is there a release for those cables somewhere?

Yea... I would normally agree more, but have a sense we may be at or near peak. We've adjusted and given a new final offer - should know today...

Re: Moving to the lake!

Thanks all - same thing on Lanier in terms of insane pricing, low inventory. The property we are really close on is in Gainesville, south east of Browns Bridge. I probably shouldn't have said anything yet. Had the inspection yesterday, and while that was largely ok (always something), I was able to ...

Moving to the lake!

My wife and I have been looking to move to the Lake Lanier (where we already boat) for 5 years. We finally found our dream home, and close in about a month. So excited to live at our happy place.

Now get to mess with docks, lifts, bilge heaters, charger etc. Poor me :D

Re: Garmin's failing intermittently

Speaking of delays, one of my planned "upgrades" is to put in a delay for the interior and/or the swim deck lights. Sure would be nice to turn them off and give me a minute to get off the boat without breaking my neck in the dark. Our boat sits on our dock all summer so would be a great m...

Re: Garmin's failing intermittently

Almost considering putting another near the ignition switch since there is a connector behind the dash for it. That way if you need to stop the engine momentarily, no need to turn the ignition switch to off and go through the whole Garmin bootup every time. When I had my Volvo powered boat, I used ...

Re: Garmin's failing intermittently

Bad news: Over time this problem has worsened. Good news: Finally figured it out - easy fix. One or both Garmins continued to not consistently start up when turning on the boats ignition. Even lost 1 or both units while underway a couple times. Armed with a multimeter and some determination, I did s...
