When I started to renovate Island Eagle, I knew I would be buying a lot of stuff, and I was lucky enough to be in a town (Nanaimo, BC) with two good marine stores plus a West. I went to the closest marine store (Nanaimo Marine Centre) and told him I'd be spending somewhere north of $50,000 on various stuff.

Ciao - Scaramouche P.s: The sensor warned me in plenty of time last summer before I hit the rocks and took a chunk out off my keel - only I ignored its "Beep" because I was being distracted elsewhere....

I just >had to >change the subject line. I would and I have this comment: Never in my wildest dreams would I have 12 V coming out of a 120 V type receptacle - never! My boat has numerous cigarette lighter sockets and I find them extremely flaky - they are simply not made for continuous use. Now what is a recommended alternative?

When I was doing the pilothouse on Island Eagle I did this and there were some incredible deals (like 75% off list). I never did end up using them, but it's worth a call. When I called Sea Glaze they sent me a fax of the sizes and shapes they had lying around.
