essentials

[nother one]

what sort of gauges are good to have on your console and what sort of essentials should you have on your boat for bay and offshore fishing

[backlash08]

trim, voltage, compass and tacho are good IMO, plus electronics of course

FUEL GUAGE !!!!!!!!!!!!! haha

[tenzing]

Bought some "rescue tape" from the S.C. Boat show. Have used it on a few things already. What great stuff this is . I will definitely have some in the boat for all trips from now on.
You probably have all seen it before but it is a cohesive silicone tape for sealing fuel line leaks , waterproof , uv stable, insulating . about $15 a roll

Off topic butat the show I also bought a gas strut for the hatch, I reckon that is going to improve my life no end. Sick of fiddling with the hatch strut and having it fall down and hit me on the head anyway. The guy at the show made one up to match my old screw adjusted thing while I waited. 316 s/steel and fitted like a glove.

I've got a fuel guage you can have - not worth a pinch of .....
I've also got an hour meter that's getting too many numbers on it

I like my dynamic positioning button - saves on putting out the anchor, working out drifts and other mundane stuff I wished.
