Bill,
It is only new if you are replacing your old one. If it is your first one,
it is just a SOSpender. I sure am glad I was able to correct this before
you made this same mistake with others. ; )

Bill,
Why new ones? I would think you would only have to replace the cylinders
every few years. Since the working part is never exposed to UV I would
think they would last for as long as you would.



Cause I have none now and do not want a used one, so therefore new
Sospenders.

Gene,
This post would be more effective if you spoke English.

====================================

Sounds good to me. Does anyone actually make one that has NMEA 182
GPS inputs?

Don't feel bad John. I like suspenders for 'working pants'...where you
want the waist relaxed for bending etc. I can't convince the wife to
sew all those little buttons on a couple pair so I use the type with the
metal teeth.

Does anyone have a favorite boating toy they are hoping will be under the
Christmas Tree or Menorah?

Since I don't trust anyone to buy what I want, I normally have a box with
assorted hot sauces and a sweater under the tree. I then go shopping
after Christmas at deep discounts.

I plan on updating my stereo system on the boat, so I can play my IPOD
through the system, and have some nice speakers in the cabin.



Everything I plan to get will be after Christmas and closer to Spring.

This includes:

1. New bolster type helm seat and adjustable pedestal
2. New carpeting
3. Bimini (high enough to stand up under while driving)
4. Portable rechargeable battery charger/jumper
5. AM/FM/CD player (replacing the cassette player currently in the boat).

I am also taking the sunpad and 2 cushions to an upholstery shop to be
recovered.

This has been my plan since buying the boat last summer, with these projects
planned in Spring. The helm seat and sink/ice box was already torn out
before I put the boat to bed for the winter.

Believe it or not...........it is still technically fall even though the
ground is covered with snow and temperatures have been in the single
digits......

This is going to be a long winter. :-(

I found they come in different lengths, so try 'em out before you leave
the store...

JimH,
When is it boating season in your neck of the woods?. We normally have the
boat recommissioned the first weekend after April 15th. By May, the weather
is perfect for quiet days on the lake. It isn't till Memorial Day that the
lake becomes busy.

If you are planning on taking them to a shop that specializes in "marine"
upholstery, you better get the pad and cushions down there now if you want
any chance of getting them back by spring. Experience talking here.
