YOUR MARINE ELECTRONICS FORUM 

So where do you start? There is a lot to know. I get asked regularly about what is the problem, and more importantly and how to fix a problem. I am a yacht owner and that’s why I have published a dozen books to tell you all that you need to know about how to take care of your sailboats and yacht systems.

My name is JOHN C PAYNE, and many of you may already have one of my books on marine electrical and electronics systems (The recently published Marine Electrical and Electronics Bible now in it’s 4th Edition) or perhaps one of the many other books on sailboats and yacht systems.

THE MARINE ELECTRONICS FORUM 

I am not an armchair expert, but a qualified and practising marine electrician and engineer, and a marine surveyor. I do this for a living, and also I sail and cruise my own yacht for fun! I have built, lived aboard and cruised several yachts and the chances are that your problems have been my own. Let this website help you with the boat forum! Thousands of people input with answers to problems.

What is your yacht problem? If you know what the problem is then you are halfway towards finding  the right solution. Why not choose from one of my many books to help you fix your problems. Here are some hot topics for the boat-forum:

GPS How to get the best from you GPS

Interference How to locate and eliminate that annoying radio noise

This is just a fraction of the 3000 plus questions that were posted, and it is hoped that this Marine Electronics forum and bulletin board does the same.

The Marine Electronics Forum is also a great place to look for spare parts that are hard to find, share your problems and experience with others, ask questions, share stories and more about my books and related topics and a lot more. Create your own web page every time you submit an article and include great low resolution images as well. 

HOW TO POST MESSAGES 

Forum Editors Forum Rules! Yes there are a few basics when posting!

1. DON'T TYPE IN ALL CAPITALS or BOLD as it will not be posted. Don't use any HTML code as it will be deleted along with attempts to create links elsewhere

2. Don't use bad language or profanity as it will not be posted. No need to be rude.

3. Please at least use a first name and location with your email address in the notification page, so you will get a message when someone leaves a comment.

4. You need to insert a couple of sentences describing you problem and add an image if possible as it helps others. If you insert just a couple of words using text message SMS speak the system will reject it. 

5. Don't Spam the site with multiple submissions as none get publishes.

6. We receive dozens of posts a day and it is quite impossible to reply to more than just a few given this is a free site and I don't have enough time given I have a day job. 

7. It helps if you start the headline with your Marine Electronics equipment name, make and model number. Save the problem description to the text, more detail means better answers.  Fishing and boats for all your answers
