Hello All,
I have several years worth of Wooden Boat Magazine, all in excellent shape, all consecutive, all probably 10 yrs old at least. I'm wondering if there is any interest here for them and what they might be worth? If anyone is interested, I will go through them and see exactly what is there. Thanks, Ken |

Thanks, Ken I love browsing through back issues of Wooden Boat. There is so much there and the work is so interesting. But monetary value? Plus shipping? I think I have a bunch, if I find them during the upcoming basement cleaning, I will let you know.. Just pay the postage or come and get 'em. Just Wait... AKA Scotty from SmallBoats dot com;) Now that's good value. Deal! email me direct at this address... |

I guess the big trick is how to locate the hinge line so they panel can swing around any framing for the companionway. This on uses two features to do that. First, the hinge spacer moves the hinge line away from the wall. Then there is a recess that fits around the framing. I looked at a lot of photos of how this was done on other boats. Each boat is different, and the panel arrangements are all quite different. Just work out what will work on your boat and go for it! Richard |

You can also buy the garmin hand held, that the joggers and bicycle guys apparently use - with California charts :-) In Singapore ??? Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) |

Richard It depends on space but a friend solved the problem by cutting out a section of the cabin wall, to S.B. of the hatch and bonding in a Plexiglas panel. the instruments are mounted behind the glass looking aft and the fwd side is covered by a panel. Looks quite nice from both sides and doesn't impede access to the boat. But, as I said, it does depend on space available. Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) |

I wonder if this guy sells the Garmin G-Chart chips separately ? Specifically the mini g-charts... I have a 180 and am having a difficult time finding the chart chips for the Nth Pacific, US west coast and nearby areas. Do you have any way I could contact him ?

Make it as unobtrusive as possible. Mine clearly could be smaller as it has a bit of unused space and blocks off a lot of companionway. I'm just too busy with other (fun?) projects right not to tackle a new panel. |

I thought about a speaker/mic for my VHF and then remembered the trip home with my old GS 41 from South FL. Conversation between my 2 old friends and I was getting stale so I decided we needed some music in the cockpit and retrieved a boombox from below. The boat was old (73) and needed a lot but had a nearly new auto pilot, which made a very hard right turn as I passed the flux gate compass mounted next to the companionway with the boom box....my buddy grabbed the wheel and yanked it back the other way before we wandered out of the channel and went aground. That was probably the most exciting thing to happen on the trip. Or maybe it was the great burgers and cold beer we got at Ft Pierce City Marina. My VHF is just inside to port and I can hear it fine anyway so I'll leave good enough alone. |

Just asking, but doesn't Garmin sell the chart chips separately? Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) Unfortunately the model I have is long out of production and Garmin (in their infinite wisdom) discontinued the G-Chart chips at the same time. These are a mini-chip and none of their other models uses that size. To compound matters even further Garmin, at some time in the near past, dropped their proprietary chart format and now use a different one. So now they have a number of models that the owners can no longer obtain chart chips and Garmin's answer to any inquiries is decidedly "stiff cheese". Brian C |
