This is a great tip and only 20 min down the road from me. Any insight on a new custom "pod" for atop the rails or does Railmakers help in area too?

I have the EV-100 Sail pack - so current model autopilot on SeaTalkNG. I think its cheaper to get a backbone with 1 adapter cable than a bunch of new adapter cables for the existing Raymarine system.

The issue I have is the current SeaTalk Backbone is out of connections to network into a NMEA 2k system. So my thought is if I add a new back bone I can make the connection. Right now the autopilot hogs 1 full backbone. Everything moving forward will be NMEA 2k but I need to make the connection.

I have the newer SeaTalkNG with the Blue and White connectors. Raymarine Autopilot is the EV-100 Sail pack

Question as I am updating my Nav Pod set up and have run into some issues. Current NavPod builds have different sizing in width of the base stanchions than what my E30+ has currently installed. Has anyone run into this? I would love a bigger set up at the helm but not sure how to get there...

Hello again friends. Another nuanced question but I am sure someone has gone through a similar set up. I currently purchased the Triton 2 instrument package from B&G to replace my failing Raymarine set up. I will be replacing the displays at the helm, the DST sensor as well as replacing the...

Hi! I’m a fellow 30+ out of DP. anyways 30Hp will be overkill for the 30+, 20hp is even still a bit much I would assume. I have the original M18 (14hp) and get to hull speed most often (cruise around 6kts @ 2400rpm depending on conditions). keep in mind your boats length determines it’s speed...

Awesome thanks for the info! I’ll have to look at my old transducers. I was also looking at the DST from Airmar. What made you go with B&G wind gauge? Raymarine sells a pack with the airmar, and wireless wind I was thinking about. Also comes with a wireless remote that could be pretty cool to...

I’ve been searching for the same information as I’m looking into the new Axiom MFD. do you have photos of the installation? Could love to see how it looks on the boat. Did you upgrade transducers as well?

How to you stow while in the slip? Dana Point is some what chill about tied up off the transom but things are changing with new marina ownership. It’s also a pain when heading out for a day sail to negotiate with moving it out of the way and back.

Another "who's got one" question... Looking at incremental improvements on our E30+ and a windless might be this season's upgrades. I have seen them on smaller yachts before so I know it's doable just wondering layouts and style of windless's people have had success with on their E30+. For...

Seems like we are all on the same page, little boat = little storage for toys. I too keep it deflated in the aft berth then haul it up during most of the summer. Its a pain but it's an option I guess.

I have always been interested in how people are stowing their tenders on an E-30+. I travel from Dana Point to Catalina often and getting the dingy ready is such a hassle and towing seems like a "drag". The best option I have found is keeping it lashed to the foredeck but it really takes up most...

Dodger Frank, I would love to see photos of them! When you write a post there is a button at the bottom that says manage attachments, just click that and upload a image there. If not maybe you can email them to me? chris.steblay@gmail.com. I think us dodgerless 30+ers need some inspiration!!

30+ has little clearance Boy is this maybe the hottest topic for 30+ owners. Best that I have heard is people raise the boom to add a dodger. Seems like over kill to make it happen. I have yet to see a 30+ with something that looks like it would work. The boom is just far too low to make it...
