You gotta love GPS chart plotters!

Still wish I understood what iPads have GPS capability. Sounds like foreign ones do. I have found no data sheet for US iPads that says they have GPS. I have a call into Apple. This should be an interesting conversation!

mastreb: The compass works on the non cell phone ipad. I always thought they had a flux gate in there, no idea what it is, but it works... The MD367C seems to be the Canadian model. The specs sheets that I have access to does not have that model listed. It does list a MD367LL but the sheet says it d...

I have the Garmin 740 and its fantastic. Its easy to read in the sunlight and does everything I need it to. Even makes the coffee. Just kidding...

I have had my 1997 26x coming up one one year. Prior to the mac I had big boats on the ocean. I was thinking I was spending a fortune fixing up my mac. I am still not finished either. I was beginning to think I was spending too much. Then I went on a vacation with my family. The money I spent on the...

Rich thanks for that info. Can you please tell me the model of your ipad?

Can you tell me the model number? It should be listed under

Thanks!

Hamin' X: I didnt see anything on the apple.com link that said they have a GPS chip. innervations: Yes you can download the charts and that is great. I have that software too. But that doesn't mention a GPS. Next time you are able to try the "GPS" on an iPad try making a phone call or conn...

I sure would like to see the specs at Apple that says any hardware has real GPS. I sure haven't found it. I dont want to see some Google web page unless its written by Apple. I am at Apple often. And while there isnt one person that knows everything, at least that I have met, the ones I have met als...

I already have the 12x8 prop.
Maybe the rpm guage doesn't work properly, but I only get 4700 rpm

I write software apps for Apple. I know first hand there is no real gps in any currently released apple products. The cell phone models use cell tower triangulation. Not satellites. As several people have mentioned use a blue too gps unit. There are several on the market. I use mine for flying and o...

I too have the mercury 50. 1998 model. My 26x is 1997. With about 400 lbs of people on board and empty tanks I get 9 kts. Previous owner decreased the prop pitch. I have tried both props but no difference. The engine carbs were rebuilt 6 months ago. The boat store says the engine is good. The rpm sh...

Just remember don't worry about the cost as long as it's a sound hull. Just remember all the great times you have making the boat great and going out sailing.

Hi. I got my 1998 26x last winter. Mine sat for 3 years but appeared to be in good shape at least on the major concern was the hull. I was used to boats that are in the water all the time and so when I got this all one I spent time crawling under the boat looking for anything bad on the hull. I figu...

It takes longer to research and get the parts than it does to make it all happen! Thanks for the links.
I sure do appreciate the help!

Looks like the pinion on the wheel side has a bearing bad. If I can get the right parts from teleflex I think all the will be good. The cable system doesn't seem that great especially when I have been using hydraulic for ever except on small boats. Thanks for the link too. Now I need to find the shi...
