Re: Stus-List Colorado documented vessels.

Back in 2013, one of the Florida Wildlife Nazis explained to me that Florida law requires that, if your vessel is not registered in your home state (and documentation doesn't count) it had to be registered in Florida. IIRC, the grace period for getting it registered was 30 days in state. I found

Re: Stus-List AIS improvement + general rewiring

No luck :( The CP180 will NOT take data into port 1 or 2 no matter what. To make matters worse, the cabling goes through the pedestal and winds all over to the chart table. Taking the splice apart would be a project. I think I am going to cough up the $18.00 and get another data cable to test
