Hoping the Grapevine here might be a little better than what was depicted in the movie Johnny Dangerously (Youtube - pretty funny) Been looking at a 38Ft Double cabin that's been for sale for quite awhile on Yachtworld and was wondering if anyone might have any info? It's got Detroits with a...

My system monitor at the main helm station is as dead as a door nail. There does not appear to be a specific breaker on any of the panels for it, so without chasing down a bunch of wires, I was hoping someone might be able to point me in a direction. Thx.

Just curious if anyone has experience with this sensor? It receives signals from three different satellite systems (GPS,GLONASS & Gallileo) at once and can be purchased as either NMEA0183, NMEA2000 or PC USB. May sound strange but one of my biggest concerns on the water in the future is GPS...

Does anyone else have a drip pan under each shaft log just behind the engines with bilge pumps and float switches included? Our 53EDMY has the bilge pumps, float switches and manual on off switches for port and starboard shaft logs. Not sure if this was a factory item or not. The drip pans are...

Just curious as to how many out there are using AIS receivers versus the more expensive option of a transponder. I can buy an NMEA 2000 AIS receiver to plug into my system for a couple hundred bucks but a transponder is a little more pricey. Also wondering if anyone who uses a transponder has...

Just curious as to whether anyone is using OpenCPN and/or OpenPlotter. I'm considering it as a secondary means of navigation in addition to our Garmin MFD and network. Doesn't sound like there's an issue pulling NMEA data from the Garmin network to run OpenCPN.

Just curious. Has anyone considered using a back up camera for video monitoring during stern to maneuvers while docking? We crunched our swim platform Saturday while backing into the slip (for the record I was not piloting the boat at the time) and if the helmsman could have seen where the back...

Had a failed triac that I replaced (different story that I'll post later) and now the system seems to run just fine except with the thermostat set to auto the compressor cycles on and off properly but the blower runs constantly regardless setting. I've got the old Honeywell thermostats with the...

Just curious as to where others stow the boarding ladder that affixes to either side of the boat near the pilothouse door. I believe this ladder came as standard on most 53MY and perhaps other models as well. PO stowed ours in the bow anchor locker and it's a major PITA getting it in and out...

On the 53 ED MY any idea where I might find the circuit breaker for the motorized flybridge hatch cover? I checked the 32 VDC port engine room breakers as well as the DC panel in the pilothouse but nothing is labelled specifically for that unit. Motor worked at the end of last season, but now...

Was surfing the internet the other night and stumbled upon a 1983 53 ED for sale. Name of the boat was Paper Moon and the owner did an absolutely beautiful job with maintenance and upgrades! So many things done both on the interior and exterior of the boat and IMHO all done really well! One...

Just curious. Anyone using AGM batteries in their 32 volt system? At the start of this season we wound up with three bad 8 volt batteries (Deka 819), mostly due to the LaMarche "battery cooker" and decided to replace both the charger which was original to the boat and and all the batteries...
