Re: Stus-List GFCI Outlet

The biggest difference I’ve seen is price; put the word “marine” or “boat” on anything and the cost goes up. As with the others, I’ve had good luck with a good GFCI from Home Depot; you may need to put a bigger back-box in, though, as they don’t wire too well into standard electrical boxes as

Re: Stus-List boat names

I looked through the codes and didn’t find ANY that started with Alpha; all the three-letter codes started with Bravo (the first one is “BCD”, abandon). The Alpha flag by itself means “diver down.” Maybe “AMF” means “diver down, M^%$*& F%$#@!” :^) Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis

Re: Stus-List boat names

Tom — do you remember the Wisconsin tourism ad campaign several years back, “Escape to Wisconsin”? I saw a lot of their bumper stickers that summer on cars with Minnesota plates; the owners had cut out the word “to” and were left with “Escape Wisconsin”… :^) — Fred Fred Street --

Re: Stus-List - Inflable life jacket with harness recommendation

The point of these inflatables is to give you enough buoyancy to keep your head and shoulders up out of the water, and lean you on your back to keep you from inhaling the ocean. You cannot possibly try to swim forward like that; but since you’re on your back already, try the backstroke. It

Re: Stus-List - Inflable life jacket with harness recommendation

Mine does. Which one are you looking at? I’ve got the “Y” tether with one six-foot leg and one three-foot leg; both of those have the positive-action carabiners. The harness end has a snap shackle with a pull-lanyard. Like this: http://www.pyacht.com/cgi-bin/pagegen.pl?pr+kng283sete.htm

Re: Stus-List Best n2k GPS receiver?

Keep in mind, too, that most of these receivers use the same chipset. So the GPS performance is going to be similar, if not identical, with fast 10Hz updates and 32-channel, high-sensitivity receivers. Mostly be concerned about physical characteristics; type of mount available, cable

Stus-List Coastal Marine WiFi system

Hello, listers. I had an off-list query regarding the best WiFi system out there, to allow better reception in minimal signal areas, and the ability to use a router to distribute WiFi to devices onboard. Without a doubt, the best that I’ve seen so far for our size vessel would be the Coastal

Dave — take a look at the Simrad GS25 GPS sensor: http://www.simrad-yachting.com/en-US/Products/GPS/GS25-en-us.aspx Priced under $200. It comes with a 15-foot NMEA2000 cable and Micro connector to plug into a ”T” on a

Joel — you’re correct. The WiFi on the Raymarine MFDs is there only to allow connectivity for their iOS/Android apps to mirror and/or control the display. You can’t connect the MFD to a WiFi access point. Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C Landfall 38) -- Bayfield, WI > On Sep
