I got a 50T masters USCG license back in the early 1980's when I worked at a
large summer camp. The camp paid for an instructor to come and teach a group of
us a one week course and the CG administered the test at the camp also. Most of
the people received a very limited "6-pack" license but a c

I had a similar problem years ago.
Unfortunately (for you), I can only offer that the best way to get it

enough I needed to dig an 8-12" hole to enabl
Alan,
I know size matters, but my gate is probably half the size of yours, and we
have the same boat. Bummer!
I have a double gate. The hard part is getting the two pieces close enough

It looks like the largest boat that it's been used on is a 27' (Ericson and

My ST4000+ mkII wheel pilot was not worth a pinch until I installed the

Ron, I've had a Raymarine X5 on my 35-3 for three years, and have been very

stronger wind). It should have plenty of power for your 29. It is easy to
