Peter - interesting you're in Seattle, just got back from Seattle and an Alaskan cruise :) We're pretty much ready to sell, message me or call me at the number listed and let me know what pics or vids or additional info I can provide. After the next week or so, we start our medical "journey"...

Thanks so much Bob, yes, both the fishfinder/plotter and radio have been replaced since the photo you looked at. You help so many people here you probably don't remember helping me with my many, many questions in the first year we owned her, it was MUCH appreciated :)

thanks so much for the feedback Roamad, good advice. We'll take good care of her if we wait :)

We’re trying to determine current local interest in our 16’ “Oh Buoy” in Northern California versus waiting until next year, since it will be hard to do multiple sea trials with interested buyers, etc. over the coming months due to upcoming medical procedures. So any feedback will be...

Glad your friends were there for you during your amazing trip, but they weren't the only ones watching and rooting for you :)

It all works perfectly now that I found my stupid mistake, which is too embarrassing to share. Ok, I will - I was so intent on cleaning up the wiring and making it all neat and tidy that I missed connecting the Garmin drop cable to the backbone :) I apologize for the post :( I have to say...

Well, contrary to the advice of Steve-in-SEA who started this post, I decided to go with Ancor instead of Garmin nmea 2000 components because the Ancor cables were the length I needed to make a less messy wiring conglomeration in our small 16. So far, no luck, so I have to go back and check all...

CC Rider, geez, thank you :) makes perfect sense

I still haven't figured out why the AIS screen is always pointed north, no matter the direction the boat is pointed. However, some of the sporadic activity, i.e., the fact that our boat is not always indicated with the proper black icon as in the photo above, maybe related to the antenna...

Yeah, I think we're going to live with any deviation - the compass is almost 6" diameter, with a huge hole in the helm dash that I don't want to deal with right now. I think it'll be close enough for our purposes :)

That speaker gets pretty rave reviews on Amazon. Not sure we need it yet, and we have limited mounting space - but I was thinking, why couldn't we use a splitter or something to hook the radio up to the existing dual Fusion stereo speakers...

Thanks everyone! For some reason I'm not getting updates when there's a reply to one of my posts, it works for the first few days, then stops. Marco Flamingo, I hear you! lol Well, we got the SH GX4200, and have in installed - it's a big unit for our little 16', barely fits under the dash :)...

The gortex is much more expensive than the regular thread, by the spool, but maybe not for the whole cover. The only thing I didn't like about the cover is that the thread was white on dark green, maybe they don't do that any more.
