I have been looking of installing underwater lights on my boat for some time, but I have been looking at LED. From what I have read the OceanLED stuff is the best but the price is very steep. I have been leaning towards ordering a set from scarabchris over on THT.

The lights look well built and LED will theoretically last longer and will diffidently consume less battery power.

I'll second the water pressure gauge. They're great to have when your trim up to run through the shallows.

No sim cards with verizon phones. Just call customer service or go into the store. They just need the ESN off the new phone. I buy spare phones off ebay and whenever an employee loses or breaks one I can get them a new one in a few minutes.

I just installed windows 7 a few days ago and so far its pretty good. The install was very fast it downloaded most of the drivers. I only had to install a couple that it didn't recognize. I only have one program that does not work, a sign control program for and LED sign at work, but that program didn't like vista either. Other then that its nice whether its better then vista I wouldn't say that just yet but so far no major complaints.

I have never used the raymarine SR50 but if its anything like garmins you would need to put the CMD5 to input and change the sirius channels through the raymarine chartplotter. Which can be a pain but it works and you may be able to save on an extra subscription and running an extra antenna
If you want to change the channels through the cmd5 you need this kit:

It consists of a sirius connect tuner (SC-C1) and the clarion interface (CLA-SC1).

It sounds sick when you have all the videos playing at the same time

Sounds like the tach signal wire is disconnected. There should be a green wire coming from the engine harness that connects to the back of the gauge.

Mine did? Someone suggested that too much grease will not give room for expasion when they warm up?
In my experience the caps pop off when the hubs over heat. I would make sure that the nut that is holding the hub to the spindle isn't overly tightened . It should be just tight enough where there isn't play in the hub assembly. Also make sure that you got plenty of new grease inside the bearings themselves.

Why did you change, and why are edsen the best. I need a 15.5. PM pics and price. TY
Mines a 13".
Nothing was wrong with my current wheel I just liked the looks of this one:

All the steering wheels are pretty much the same, but Edson is the Cadillac of wheels. They have the best steering knobs (ball bearing very smooth) and they offer wheels with cushion finger grips and lots of very nice styles.

I am looking for a new wheel.
I have looked at Scmitt-Vision. What are the good ones. I want to replace the old "helmsman" with a classier look.
edsen wheels are the best but you will pay for it.
I just bought a new wheel and I have one like the one in your picture in good condition if you interested.
Pressure washing your boat?

I do it all the time just be careful around upholstery and use a nozzle with a wide spray pattern. Its save a ton of time and makes washing down non skid decks much easier.
