Hey All Happy New Year! Happy to see the place still functioning with my posts being few and far in between. Just to catch up lots has happened over the past year for the old fishpimp besides increasing the waistline an gray hair. I got my 50 ton master captains license. And......... I bought...

Removed this from the boat and need to sell as I am going to have all Simrad stuff. Asking $650.00 There are no cards in the unit. Here is the Garmin Link https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=390

gents, what would the resale value be for a garmin 3210 unit with gps antenna and east cost chart? give or take. I may have one that I will want to sell, as I just purchased a new Simrad NSE 12" with 6kw array radar.

So I finally plunged. The S1000 is arriving thursday and being installed friday. After a fair amount of deliberation I decided on the RayMarine S1000. I dont need it really for anything other than trolling a straight line and deploying lines. All the other AP's out there were a ton more money...

Lads, after having lost an 80+" giant blue fin last week I have decided to add a swivel rod holder at the bow of my boat to fight the bigger fish and am starting the planning process. I would rather get towed forward rather than backward. What do you recommend to stabilize that area of the bow...

I was just quoted $300.00 to replace my seals alone. This is perfect. Thanks for posting.

Another accessory I wanted to add this year was a washdown system. I purchased the Shureflo Bait Sentry last year with this item in mind. And after reading about them here I decided to to go with the grocco pump and grocco strainer. I plumbed the washdown intake off of my Livewell pump. I...

Well the summer has sadly come to a close and the FishPimp is being winterized,for it's winter hibernation. One of the issues I wanted to deal with was the all around light mast on my T-Top. After ripping three of them off while trailering my boat I went to Nausett Marine and spoke to their...

Hey all, I am ordering an adjustable halyard cleat for my newly installed outriggers and I am not sure the thickness of my boat's gunnel. (23SE) I can either order the 2 7/8ths depth or 3 7/8ths depth item. Thinking the 3 7/8" might be better for accessibility to snug the Hal Locks. I am not...

I received this email and thought you all would like to see and read about our Boat's Manufacturer looking out for our fellow boaters trailering in North Carolina. Please place this first ever public forum concerning transportation of oversized boats on NC highways on your calendars. With the...

I didnt want to hijack the Simrad post. I have been searching for information on autopilots here and it appears most are running the RM S1000. I am thinking about the simrad AP16 or furuno 511. A few are running the TR1 and that might be overkill for the FishPimp. I am interested in seeing...

Boys just got word from my brother the boat levelor trim tabs that came with my boat was found dangling today (while tight with an 80 lb Blue Fin near wood end light caught on a gray Ron-Z) in case you Cape Cod boys were wondering Not sure if it is repairable or not. I am not so sure what the...

Finally getting around to putting together the washdown system on my boat. With my batteries in the lazarrettes space is at a premium. How are your boats plumbed? Are you using a 2n1 pump? I was thinking grocco c60 with a baitmaster. however I cant seem to get my head around how it will all come...

Boys, I am in the process of putting together my canvas enclosure for the snot and chill that is synonymous with NewEngland boating. What are you using? What fabric? Stamoid or Sunbrella? What glass? What do you recommend? Do your enclosures have bat wings? Is your boat's enclosure completely...

Here are the custom switches I had made for my 23SE. It was probably the easiest thing I have done so far on my new to me boat. Again I found somebody from the Bay State who could do the job. Scott from Vector Imaging was great http://classicmako.com/forum/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=18 I wanted to...

Wanting to add a stereo to my 23SE After talking to a few stereo people my options seem less than perfect. What have other people done to their Parker? I am going to use the Clarion CMD5 with remote and sat radio (so I can listen to the Sox stomp the Yankees) and add the ipod changer. My...

What are you Furuno guys using in this department? I am finalizing the remaining shopping list for my boat. And the hub is yet to be purchased along with the shoot through ducer. Has anybody ever used an adams hub? http://www.bb-elec.com/product_family.asp?FamilyId=174 Or are most using the...

Donated to a seacraft buildout.

I am going to be buying in the next couple of weeks some new electronics for my 23SE. Raymarine C- Series and E series or Furuno Navnet vx2 with a 4KW dome. Both companies seem comparable. New England appears to be more Furuno and the West Coast seems to be more Raymarine. I will be building...

Has anybody moved their batteries from the port and starboard lazarettes and tucked them under their center console after their boat has left the factory? If so what was the procedure that worked without having to violate the decks? I am wanting to drop a Airmar M260 into one of those battery...
