Sorry to interrupt the usual drivel in here, but
I did want to report good customer service from Raymarine.

I have a Ray fishfinder/depthfinder on son of Yo Ho. I didn't think the
display was bright enough, so last September I called and asked what to
do. I was told to simply return the unit after the boating season and
Ray's service department would look it over.

Sent the unit back last week, got a phone call Wednesday, told there was
nothing out of the ordinary, but the company was sending a brand new
unit just to make sure.

It arrived yesterday.

Cool.

Oh...side benefit...everyone I spoke with at Ray spoke English properly,
with a solid Yankee accent!

You think that's good, you ought to try their walk-in service.

I'd tell you what's paying for that great service, but it would turn this
into a political discussion. It's enough to say that it's your tax dollars,
and that you should buy as much RTN stock as you can afford, along with some
HRS.

No. You must be imagining that.

Right now, explain how you came to that conclusion based on what I said. Do
it carefully. Remember that you are disabled.

No Joe, it was you. You freaked out and told us we were all
downloading some malware by clicking on the kids site. The kid post
the site every few months, been doing it for years... smerk...

OK. You're right.

Now, explain your tin foil hat bull****, and how it made sense as a response
to my stock suggestions.

How much HRS and RTN do you own?

None, yet. I'm fully invested in my IRA, and all my attention is now on my
son's request to begin investing. He began with Citigroup. RTN and HRS
wouldn't fit his plans at this time.

================================================== =
That's good to know but I can tell you from personal experience that
if you had bought a Furuno, the display would have been bright enough
right out of the box. I have to turn ours way down at night to keep
from being blinded by it. It is highly visible in direct sunlight on
the flybridge and that was a deciding factor in buying it.

If you take a look around at what commercial fisherman are using, well
over 90% are Furuno.
