FS: Wooden Boat Magazine Back Issues
cran...@yahoo.com
I have several years worth of Wooden Boat Magazine, all in excellent
shape, all consecutive, all probably 10 yrs old at least.
I'm wondering if there is any interest here for them and what they
might be worth?
If anyone is interested, I will go through them and see exactly what
is there.
Thanks,
Ken

I love browsing through back issues of Wooden Boat.
There is so much there and the work is so interesting.
But monetary value? Plus shipping?

I think I have a bunch, if I find them during the upcoming basement
cleaning, I will let you know.. Just pay the postage or come and get
'em.
Just Wait... AKA Scotty from SmallBoats dot com;)

Now that's good value.
Deal!

If I dig any up in the clean, I will. I am pretty sure they are here
somewhere..
cavelamb
I'll put them to good use.
There are good ideas just waiting.
Here are a few I've done already...

Hey, good looking boat! Nice open layout below.
I want to make a swing out companionway panel for my Morgan, could you share
your hinge design? Maybe some pics?
Thanks!
cavelamb
Sure.
I'll take some pics of that setup next time I go out to the boat.
It's really pretty simple.

Thanks Richard.

Some detail pics of the swing around panel design.

Is that a Garmin 12/120/128 I see there?
Cheers,

No, it's a 182C.
It still works fine!
It has BlueCharts for US Lakes, and the Gulf Coast.

so they panel can swing around any framing for the companionway.
This on uses two features to do that.
First, the hinge spacer moves the hinge line away from the wall.
Then there is a recess that fits around the framing.
I looked at a lot of photos of how this was done on other boats.
Each boat is different, and the panel arrangements are all quite different.
Just work out what will work on your boat and go for it!

When I bought the current Garmin 128, that I have now, I had the
darnedest time. I usually get these kind of goodies in Singapore in a
small shop where I've been trading for years. This time all the guy
had were mini-chart plotters (or whatever you calls them). since I
don't find charts of the East Coast or Great lakes to be much use in
this area I had him locate what may be the last 128 sold in Asia for
me.
You can also buy the garmin hand held, that the joggers and bicycle
guys apparently use - with California charts :-) In Singapore ???

It depends on space but a friend solved the problem by cutting out a
section of the cabin wall, to S.B. of the hatch and bonding in a
Plexiglas panel. the instruments are mounted behind the glass looking
aft and the fwd side is covered by a panel. Looks quite nice from both
sides and doesn't impede access to the boat.
But, as I said, it does depend on space available.

Sounds good. I noticed your spacer arrangement and IIRC, mine is about 1 1/2
inches.
I was going to just mount my depth sounder (fish finder) but after seeing
your arrangement will also mount the compass.
Thanks again!

Handy if you get really lost?

Interesting Bruce.
I wonder if this guy sells the Garmin G-Chart chips separately ?
Specifically the mini g-charts... I have a 180 and am having a difficult
time finding the chart chips for the Nth Pacific, US west coast and nearby
areas.
Do you have any way I could contact him ?
Thanks,
Brian Cleverly (add an "le" after the "c" to reply direct).

Start here:
Garmin products/obsolete
(It's here I found mine too...)
cavelamb
Before I removed the speaker, you could "adjust" the compass
20 or 30 degrees just by tilting the speaker a bit.

Make it as unobtrusive as possible.
Mine clearly could be smaller as it has a bit of unused space and
blocks off a lot of companionway.
I'm just too busy with other (fun?) projects right not to tackle
a new panel.
Brian Cleverly
the UK.
Bruce's "man" could be a treasure.
I've managed to ferret out a few chips on Ebay and Craigslist, but still
have a few holes in the coverage.

I could direct you to his shop but have no idea whether he can be
contacted by electronic means. I can get a mate to drop by and ask but
it doesn't seem likely that a shop in Singapore would stock N.
American charts :-)
From observation they trade mainly in Singapore and Indonesia so I
assume that he would have chart chips for these two areas, or perhaps
regions, and probably order other areas from whatever source furnishes
them.
Just asking, but doesn't Garmin sell the chart chips separately?

Garmin now seems to give a spec for how far each model GPS needs to be

with my old GS 41 from South FL. Conversation between my 2 old friends and I
was getting stale so I decided we needed some music in the cockpit and
retrieved a boombox from below. The boat was old (73) and needed a lot but
had a nearly new auto pilot, which made a very hard right turn as I passed
the flux gate compass mounted next to the companionway with the boom
box....my buddy grabbed the wheel and yanked it back the other way before we
wandered out of the channel and went aground.
That was probably the most exciting thing to happen on the trip. Or maybe it
was the great burgers and cold beer we got at Ft Pierce City Marina.
My VHF is just inside to port and I can hear it fine anyway so I'll leave
good enough alone.
Bruce In Bangkok
Did some more checking and you can contact the shop I was referring to
at:
sa...@blazer.com.sg
or
http://www.blazer.com.sg/
Everyone there speaks English so you should have no communications
problems.

Unfortunately the model I have is long out of production and Garmin (in
their infinite wisdom) discontinued the G-Chart chips at the same time.
These are a mini-chip and none of their other models uses that size. To
compound matters even further Garmin, at some time in the near past,
dropped their proprietary chart format and now use a different one.
So now they have a number of models that the owners can no longer obtain
chart chips and Garmin's answer to any inquiries is decidedly "stiff cheese".

Many thanks Bruce, I'll contact them and see what eventuates.
