I just picked up a Furuno Fax-208A,  and would like to check it out and
make sure it runs OK.
Any idea where I can find a manual, online or order it?
Or,  Can someone give me the basic setup to receive a fax.  I can hook

Hi all..  So, while installing my transducer ( DST50 Standard Horizon) I put
a staple from a staple gun into the cable.  Brilliant, I know.  Of course
the depth finder stopped reading depths so.. I'm guessing the cable is very
sensitive and I wont be able to repair the cable by ...

I have tried very hard to calibrate my wheelpilot, simrad wp30. Sailing in
circles until I'm dizzy - but no go.
I have read the manual again and again - I can't see what I'm doing wrong.
Can anyone help?

I noticed in the Raymarine announcement for version 6.0, that you can
now plug your PC directly into the 8-port hub (why not  the 2 port hub
or direct to the E series ??), and do away with hsb2 and/or NMEA
connections.

Anybody has seen this? It is a South African Company and sells a
portable AIS, powered by 6 AA cells. I do not know if it is sell in
USA. Anybody knows a dealer in US for this brand?

I have a Corsair marine F28R with a carbon fiber mast.  Can I mount an
antenna inside the mast?  The reason I ask is I have already lost 2
stainless whips, and the end of the mast already hangs about 6 feet
over the back of the boat when trailering, and so I'm not sure I want

How concerned do I need to be about an Air Horn (Buell, 17/23") near a
SSB antenna?  The location I am going to put the whip in has an air
horn perhaps 1' forward.  Should I relocate the horn to the other
side?

Are the circuit boards inside the loran antenna couplers considered active?
Since they have dc voltage running to them up the center conductor of the
coax from the set, it seems it would cause them to be considered an active
(vice passive) board.

What are my choices on getting engine monitoring data into my Raymarine E-80
display from a pair of 6.0 Crusader engines?  The E-80 can monitor oil
pressure, rpm, fuel flow, fuel tank levels, alternator and coolant temp.  I
can use either their SeaTalk or NMEA formatted data.
