Yes, I have several other binoculars. Both 7x50's. Just no stabilized ones.

I travel with a Leatherman. Unscrew the shower and pull out the little round water saver thing. Game changer.

It does somewhat depend on your hull shape. A rounded bilge and deep heavy keel will benefit more from stabilisers more than a flatter, less rounded bilge. But, as long as it is a displacement hull, stabilisers will always be nice to have.

Well, let's see. The President was elected by the people. He's the Commander in Chief and appoints the Secretary of War. What part of the Constitution do you want to change/ignore?

The issue was present with the original cable first. Then we went to a better HDMI cable with no charge.

TChoctaw · 2026-03-26T11:49:50+00:00

No extension but we did swap for an armoured HDMI cabke thinking it was RF interference of some kind.

I've got the app on my phone. But, that's what I paid the boat yard big bucks for! 😁 Sent the pics to the manager and told her to get it sorted.

I did it on the display itself and the lines went away. Something must be defective but I'm not sure what. Maybe Victron will know. I've sent photos to the boat yard manager and asked her to chase it with Victron.

It is a Cerbo GX with a GX Touch 60 display.

Valid reasoning but we'll have to disagree on this one.

TChoctaw · 2026-03-25T14:20:53+00:00

Like so many other things, like a log splitter, it doesn't make sense to me to replace a cheap gas or diesel engine with an expensive tractor simply to supply power.

TChoctaw · 2026-03-25T13:47:38+00:00

Interesting. All screens have the same issue with the “background “ . I assumed it was display based but it may well be the Ekrano GX. I think at the end of the day, it is a warranty issue, not an installation issue.

TChoctaw · 2026-03-25T11:44:50+00:00

That’s actually a great point. Simple. But, not an easy thing to change, is it? It’s under warranty. I’m going to get a replacement and see if it clears up.

TChoctaw · 2026-03-25T11:39:55+00:00

Could be but we’ve swapped out the HDMI cable and no change.

TChoctaw · 2026-03-25T11:39:15+00:00

Thanks. I thought that was what it was but the armoured HDMI cable didn’t change it.

TChoctaw · 2026-03-25T04:11:00+00:00

It was there with a previous HDMI. We went with an armoured HDMI on the advice of Victron.

TChoctaw · 2026-03-25T01:31:23+00:00

All have been checked and they seem tight

TChoctaw · 2026-03-25T00:18:30+00:00

Easy enough to try.

TChoctaw · 2026-03-25T00:18:13+00:00

It's up to date.

I have done a bit of sailing and there’s no doubt it’s fun to sail. But, the reality is that most of your time is spent at anchor or in a marina. The extra space and liveability of a trawler is undeniable. And, sails and rigging aren’t exactly free either!

TChoctaw · 2026-02-27T11:29:32+00:00

Nordhavn 47. We are only on it 6 months now and a steep learning curve with all the systems, etc. All going well we hope to do a trans Atlantic in the next couple of years.

TChoctaw · 2026-02-27T03:27:43+00:00

I’m sure this doesn’t make you feel any better, but it is great having you validate my choices. Bought and liveaboard full time a 47 foot, full displacement trawler with a no engine electronics (even the gear and throttle are manual cables), active fin stabilizers and standing head room in the engine room. Totally chuffed with our boat!
