Tried that too. Had a reply from Garmin who tell me there was a software update to fix this error. However, Garmin no longer sell the programming card and lead....

Just done a factory reset - exactly the same

Thanks for that, I'll have a look inside

Hi! The garmin gpsmap172c at my chart table has packed up (constantly trying to aquire satellites, tried two other aerials - exactly the same). I don't want the hassle of trying to wire a new GPS in (connected to my icom vhf and ais trancever). Does anyone have a working one they want to...

Afternoon all! Can anyone help? A friend of mine has recently purchased a Catalina 27 and the furling gear looks like nothing I've ever seen. Can anyone identify it from the photos and possibly shed some light on how it works? Many thanks.

Hi! So, I currently have a chart plotter at the chart table that's attached to my ICOM VHF and a second chart plotter under the spray hood that's stand alone. I've just purchased an AIS Transceiver that outputs AIS targets to chart plotters via NMEA 0183 - Can I connect both chart plotters to my...

I have a newly acquired Pioneer 26 and have been looking to fit a good size solar panel but can't see a sensible place to mount it on deck that won't interfere with walking on the coach roof or block light from getting through deck lights. So, I'm thinking of a radar arch right at the stern...

Google 'AMASS XT90' We use them on large model aircraft that pull many many more amps than your inflator - it will be more than up to the task

You legend! I've googled and googled and couldn't find it. Thank you very much ?

There was one for sale a few years ago near me and I looked at it. Good solid looking boat with a Decent inventory but the one I looked at had an interior that looked to have been lifted from a tarts boudoir with a lot of velour in dark red and silver which rather put me off. On reflection I...

As per the title, has any one got a link to a manual for the volvo penta 2001 diesel? Mines misbehaving (getting hot although pumping water) and I'm looking at removing the coolant pipe through the head. Thanks in advance ?
