The MMSI is more than that. It is assigned to your radio and it is included in any DSC call you make, including any emergency call a DSC radio can make automatically ( that call would include your position). Marek Sent from Mail for Windows 10 __

Yes I can get an MMSI number for free from the Canadian government but it just gives me a number I can use/say over the air... I guess in an emergency they can use it to look up my vessel data, etc. and save a lot of questions in a crisis - they will probably ask those questions regardless. Dan __

Re: Stus-List Head Problems

Does it HAVE to be electric?  On our last boat, we converted the hand pump base from Jabsco to Raritan.  They can be difficult to find, but Raritan makes a pump-only base/kit that uses the existing bowl, and (at least at the time) was about half the price of a new one, and was less than $200.  T

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: Galvanic corrosion (Della Barba, Joe)

I was going to replace with Marlon but elected to not do so for two reasons: 1) they are not as robust as bronze thru-hulls as you noted; and 2) unlike the Marlon thru-hulls I considered, the replacement bronze thru-hull was identical in size so the flange fit perfectly in the existing cavity in
