High praise indeed
 

This morning I did a friend a favor and delivered a 23 foot Aquasport
CC for him, did the delivery and took the owner out for an orientation
ride up - the usual delivery thing.

As it happened, my RC400 handheld chartplotter had failed to do a
software update and just locked up. I was going right by the
Raymarine facility in Merrimack, NH so I decided ahead of time to stop
in and drop it off for service saving some postage and insurance.

I walked into the facility and the receptionist took my information,
got on the horn and in less than five minutes, a technician appeared.
I explained the problem to him, he took my unit, said he'd be right
back and presto, five minutes later he comes out with a brand new
unit, makes the paperwork swap and I'm on my way.

Now that is service.

You forgot to mention the fact that you were wearing one of the
Palestinian dynamite vests, with the timer set for 20 minutes.

Not funny.

My experience with Raytheon Marine/Raymarine has always been top shelf.
Glad to hear the great service your local shop gave you.

So what was the "delivery charge" on that boat Tom? g

Well, it would appear I was a tad premature although the service was
top notch.

I just took the tin boat out on a local lake, fired up the RC400 and
got the same software error which locked up the RC400 - I can't reset
it even.

I'll have to have a talk with the software people tomorrow. I've got
a feeling it's the Navionics Hotmaps software that's causing the
lockup - I never had the problem with the normal marine software.

I'll talk to Navionics tomorrow also - this is getting annoying.

So what was the "delivery charge" on that boat Tom? g

I drove it up there for a tank charge - basically what I used in fuel
plus 30% for the return trip. The delivery, loading/unloading trailer
training, orientation, and the two hour run around the bay, $250.

It was fun.

I understand....but the folks at Raymarine did step up to the plate when you
brought the problem to their attention. Some tweaking is needed on the
software settings and you will be good to go, with a brand new Raymarine
unit to boot.

And you got paid for it. It doesn't get any better than that.

Hope, for your sake, it's the former.

You obviously found your way back to the computer. Whattya need the thing

Actually, it's kind of neat to use on some of the local lakes - you
get a good idea of the contours and can match up the finder with the
GPS.

Also, I've been up on Lake Qinsigamond in Shrewsbury which is in a
very deep valley when fog just came up and you can't see the front of
the boat. It's a big help getting you back to the launch ramp safely.

And it's a great spare for the big boat - just plug it in if the main
GPS drops off, push a couple of magic buttons and I'm back on line.

Actually, it's time I got one. I was on Keuka Lake (Finger Lakes) this
weekend, trying to find some fishy places mentioned in a fishing guide book.
The book had big numbered dots on the maps, referring to comments in the
accompanying text. But, we could not spot any numbered dots floating in the
water. Result: Skunked.

Keuka is beautiful this time of year. It's nice to go up the hills into
the vineyards and find a place with a view.

The water was pretty monstrous this past weekend, especially for a 14 foot
boat. I had a passenger on board who had closed a bar the night before. She
was not amused by the waves. :-) But, she was still a trooper, driven by
the mad desire for smallmouth bass.

It's them damned speed boats - they keep running over all the best
spots in the water and ruin things for all of us. Then they replace
the spots and the damn slow boaters like Chuck and Wayne steal them
all because they don't want to alter course - takes effort when
cruising at that slow speed to turn the boat.

Just can't keep good spots on the water anymore - not like the old
days I'll tell you what.

If you are looking for a basic, no map, just a plain old GPS, works on
Double A batteries just so you can get an idea of what's what, compare
position to chart, etc, I have an old Magellan 310 that I'd be willing
to part with - it's not worth much, so I'd be glad to send it along to
somebody who can use it.

Tom, I might be interested. I'm trying to match the model # up with info on
older models at their site, but the units all seem to have names like
"explorist", etc. Does yours fit into one of those categories?

Hey - I don't want free batteries! I'm just asking because I see all sorts
of accessories for these things, like AC adaptors, and the interface to
connect the unit to your refrigerator, in case you move it to wax the floor
and really want to be sure it goes back exactly where it was before. If you
don't have any accessories, I ***think*** I can handle it, although I might
need an hour with a psychiatrist to get over the trauma. :-)

So? Just the unit, or any of its friends?

Just kidding - I do have a power cable and PC hookup, but I use them
for the GPS 315 that I use as tertiary backup in case everything else
circles the crapper.

Just send me an email with your mailing address and I'll send it along
with a package of batteries.

Oh, and the connection to your microwave.

Tom, I might be interested. I'm trying to match the model # up with
info
on
older models at their site, but the units all seem to have names
like
"explorist", etc. Does yours fit into one of those categories?

http://www.magellangps.com/en/produc....asp?PRODID=94

Which accessories, if any, do you have for this unit, Tom?

I'll throw in a pack of batteries - jeezeum pete...

Hey - I don't want free batteries! I'm just asking because I see all
sorts
of accessories for these things, like AC adaptors, and the interface to
connect the unit to your refrigerator, in case you move it to wax the
floor
and really want to be sure it goes back exactly where it was before. If
you
don't have any accessories, I ***think*** I can handle it, although I
might
need an hour with a psychiatrist to get over the trauma. :-)

So? Just the unit, or any of its friends?

Just kidding - I do have a power cable and PC hookup, but I use them
for the GPS 315 that I use as tertiary backup in case everything else
circles the crapper.

Just send me an email with your mailing address and I'll send it along
with a package of batteries.

Oh, and the connection to your microwave.

Are we forgetting something here?

I don't think so.

How much do you want for this thing, Tom?

Did I mention I price? I think not. And you get FREE FREE FREE
batteries to boot.

Or, is there someone in the house who appreciates herbs?

Er....no.



Well...thank you! I'll email you shortly.

PS: I have enough thyme & sage to keep half the restaurants in NY supplied
for a month. You really don't want any? Garlic comes out of the ground in
maybe 2-3 weeks. Yum!

Sorry - can't use any.

Thanks anyway.

By the way, the mailto link on your site contains .com, and fails when used.
I assume .org is correct, since I haven't gotten any error message back. Is
this a trick to keep the inept from setting foot in your boat? :-)

Ah - crap - I thought I fixed that.

Thanks - I'll fix it right away.

Why yes - yes it is. Very clever of me wasn't it?

My friend Tom (locally) has a friend named Bones. Every time Bones is in
Tom's boat, something happens. One day, he wasn't catching anything in one
of those creeks that's really muddy & disgusting in the summer - perfect
bass/pike creek. He leaned over the side to try and peer into the water and
see what was there, and his $400.00 prescription polarized sunglasses fell
off his face. For reasons known only to Bones, he decided to probe the
bottom using his fishing pole, as if he could actually feel anything in the
soft mud. Dropped the pole in. Jumped in to retrieve both items before Tom
could say "No...wait..." Comes up covered in mud & weeds. Climbs in at the
bow, right where he'd put his day pack with extra shirt. Soaks the day pack,
as well as Tom's bag of stuff, which had been placed in the bow because
that's normally the only place where fishing drips/floor residue won't reach
in his boat. Now, he's dripping smelly mud from the bow down the entire
boat.

Bones only gets into my boat if the gun is with me, and he knows it. :-)
