  2. 1/3 rd at normal strike setting leaves more drag at full, probably about 2/3 rds of line strength. quote name='eliteftlaud' date='05 April 2010 - 07:36 PM' timestamp='1270514212' post='32416'] so you would set your maximum full lock up to 1/3 or just where you leave it set while under troll? in other words, lets say your concerned about being spooled, would 1/3 of line test still be the most, or would you leave some drag available to go up to 1/2 or 2/3 breaking strength?
  3. I will take it. Email me the mailing address and I will send you a check. My e-mail is berthartley@cox.net or phone me at 850 982 8154.
  4. My McKee Craft came with lead acid batteries in a separate compartment in the center console. It was so difficult to acess them for maintenance/charging that I replaced the the batteries with AGM sealed batteries and added an on-board charging system. No maintenance needed, no gassing odors, and I just plug in an extension cord for battery charging. Oydssey makes the AGM batteries for Sears which is where I bought mine. Good Luck!!
  5. I have always(30+ years)had a 4 X 2 Explorer or Yukon for towing a 22' Grady or McKee Craft and have never had any problems. A locking rear differential or posi-traction is always good to have. Good Luck!!
  6. I agree with the need for a dedicated electronics forum!!!
  7. OK, to what address do I send my Toriums, Trinidads, and Tyrnos(?) for modification?? Very interesting solution!! Congrats!!
  8. I have a Raymarine C120 upon which I installed a Navprotector brand screen protector since it supposedly would provide protection from the elements. The product has been advertised nationally for the intended purpose. I recently removed the Navprotector screen to replace it only to discover what appeared to be a stick adhesive material stuck to the navigation screen. It turns out that this was not an adhesive but the result of product incompatibility with the Raymarine screen. The only help from the Navprotector company was instructions to use water to remove the residue. This removal process also caused the removal of the anti-glare film coating that was OEM from Raymarine. The screen is now so black that I cannot see the gps chart or the fishfinder. My local Raymarine dealer says that the OEM screen must be replaced at a cost estimated at $ 450. The Navprotector company has refused to even respond to my request for financial assistance. In an earlier e-mail suggesting the use of water to remove the residue, they informed me that I should have been replacing their screen every 60 days!! I could not believe a manufacturer would produce a product of such limited life and so destructive to OEM navigation screens!!! Whatever happened to product testing BEFORE going to market????I have subsequently searched The Hull Truth internet site and discovered that quite a few cases of the same problem have been reported with Raymarine and Furuno equipment. Hence, this is just a warning to all fellow mariners of the problems associated with using the Navprotector brand. Good Luck!!
  9. I have had a C 120 bundle for 2 1/2 years and have enjoyed it. Overall, very easy to use once you get the basics down!! Good Luck!!!
  10. Thanks, the problem turned out to be a smaller fuse than needed. Needed a 20 amp. All is well now!
  11. Last trip out my autopilot blew a 5 amp fuse immediately. Back home, I tried 2 new fuses but immediately blew them as well. The autopilot had been working fine up until this episode. The autopilot is a Ray ST 6002S1 outboard system. The system was installed professionally a little over 2 years ago. I am looking for any troubleshooting suggestions. Thanks.
  12. I am running a Gold + card with a C 120 and it has all of the functionality that I have needed. I agree that having FNC on the same card is a nice feature but I leave FNC in my display most of the time since I fish offshore primarily. Good Luck!!
