Another Great Video. Have you done a boat tour?

[@ohbuoy4570]

We have not yet done a boat tour

[@BB-bv6uq]

Please do a boat tour, my wife loves to see the layout of different boats

[@BoysWithNature]

Nice

[@ohbuoy4570]

Thanks

[@ClassXIRoads]

We also draft 3.5 feet and skinny water is a bit nerve wracking for sure, That was a gorgeous sun set for sure. Thanks for taking the time to make and edit these videos.

Thanks!

@Oh Buoy! Hi there…. Thank you for this video that addressed our concern of crossing Steamboat Channel…. We noticed that the depth appeared to go to 0 at one point. Can you shed anymore light on the depth between day beacons 88-90? Our boat drafts 2.5 feet. Also, was this crossing recent?

[@ohbuoy4570]

This was in late Feb or early March. Our depth sounder will sometimes stop working below 5 feet. We draw 3.5 feet and made it ok, but it was tight.

@@ohbuoy4570 Thanks for the great information

We love the Keys we stay at marathon nearly every year

[@mpgarr]

The big thing in the Keys, not only does it get shallow, there are a lot of rock formations that come up from the bottom, reducing the effective depth, and of course, you don't want to bang into any rocks.

[@ohbuoy4570]

Then you win the “rock award”!

Cool video! I bet you got nervous when the depth went zero in that channel! Beautiful sunset. Do you ever fish off the boat?

[@ohbuoy4570]

Not yet!

[@bonzaiholmes4089]

I need to make this pass soon and it looks nerve wracking. I draft 3 ft

[@charlesdavenport2543]

If that's a Manson Boss anchor you have, any comments on it? I just bought one.

[@ohbuoy4570]

It has worked very well for us. The only time we have had an issue is in soft, soupy mud.

[@haroldconnell2973]

Great video, do you have auto pilot on your boat?

[@ohbuoy4570]

Yes, we do have autopilot.

Hi! What's your solar set up? Looks like you are mostly trying to keep your batteries topped off.

[@ohbuoy4570]

We have solar panels by Renogy, but would not recommend based on customer service. They are 100w for bow thruster and windlass batteries and 200w for main battery bank. Batteries are 4 6v golf cart batteries.
