I use Navionics on an iPad and it is brilliant.

Thanks Mac26mPaul. I think I will also give the black paint a try

Brian, does it actually go on black or is it clear?

Rarely ever any cloud in Perth and temps over 40C (104F) for days on end
I would think the UV would be particularly high.

Thanks for all the advice. I will give it a try as nothing else is working

+1 for ditching the ports potty. Worst device ever invented. Has ruined more outings on our boat than anything else including flat batteries, running aground and being collided by another boat. At least in all these events me and the boat did not end up covered in 3 day old urine :( We have C-head a...

I have the C-head and it is brilliant. Easy to installed. Very comfortable :) and absolutely no smell. It uses off the shelf plastic jugs for urine and I keep a couple on board. As one fills I just cap it and replace with empty. Back at the marina pour down the toilet. Only use weekends and it has b...
