So I have been looking for an anchor and found one from a guy near Poughkepsie. We can ship it but I would prefer to see if I can get someone coming this way to deliver it and I can buy them a drink/dinner instead!!

I live on North Shore of Long Island, not far from Northport/Huntington.

I boat on the South Shore.

I will be out in Montauk, Greenport and Block early July.

Let me know if this works for anyone, if not I will just ship it!

Thanks!
 
I will most likely be doing my LI/Block trip around 7/4 and would be happy to help. The problem is Poughkepsi is quite a bit North and on the other side of the river so by the time you got it to me, you might as well ship it all te way. The guys on this forum are mostly around my area.
 
Wow CurrentSea - just missed your pickup by 5 days as we just cam down from Kingston. I will see if my daughter is headed back up to school for any reason over the next week or so (Newburgh) and if yes I will get a hold of you.

Sorry it was not a week ago would have been no problem at all.
 
Thanks guys. Probably ship it or meet him half way.
 
If he is willing to run it to Haverstraw maybe by boat I'm planning a Huntington trip with Anchor Management on 7/4 by boat this is not a big trip but then depending on the boat the fuel my be as much as the shipping. Happy to help if I can.
 
My in-laws live near Poughkeepsie, I could get them to get it, then bring it to me (we see them quite often), Then I could get it to Hank or Dave.
 
Hmm, ok, thanks, let me discuss with Seller.
Just don't want to make this a big hassle.

Turns out seller is located in Dover Plains.
Which is not near poughkepsie!

Dave did you ever get the Bullet 2HP from Ubiquiti and try it in place of your ROGUE? Sorry if this is off topic but I just thought about it...

hi
dover plains is not that far from me.
if someone will meet me at half moon bay and take it to you, i'll go to
dover plains and get it.
 
Thanks guys but we agreed to ship it.
It is a fortress so it breaks down to individual pieces.
It's just the long shank that will make the box a long shape and probably jack cost up.

Appreciate all the offers but it is a anchor and it just seems dangerous to have it change hands multiple times and then I still have to meet someone to get it. A good idea at first but on second thought, just ship it!

Bill, No I never got the bullet though I still have my eye on it. My Rogue continues to be flakey. It drops the link and loses all connection occasionally. In addition, my signal coming out of the router is weak to a point where the cloud camera won't work wirelessly, it only works hard wired to router. So I have a few issues I need to dig into but have not had time.
 
It sounds like you need to start be replacing you WIFI route you may find this resolves all the issues.
I have had no problems with my setup however I would like to boost my WIFI reach to share with others, it's works great on my boat and even Hanks boat:)
 
Any good reccomendations on a new router?
I also think I need to pull it up higher.
I have it buried behind my subwoofer and I am sure the magnet from the woofer and the fact that it's sitting on the salon floor don't help it signal wise.
 
CurrentSea, are you going to use the Fortress as your main anchor? My Sea Ray Sedan Bridge currently has a Delta. The boat came to me with a Fortress (sized to be a main) in the original box stowed below. I don't think it was ever in the water. I think the former owner had it as a spare. I've been thinking of mounting the Fortress as the main.

I was tied up recently directly in front of a 82' Viking SF. His Fortress was hanging about 10' above and behind my cockpit. It got me to thinking.
 
Yes, I have a FX16 which I used on my 34' Cruisers and loved it.
They set super fast and once set they hold great.
I always wanted one on the Regal but the shank on the FX23 seemed too long for the pulpit.
But there was someone on here who had one mounted on his 40' Regal and he said it fit and worked well.
I have shopped for one as they are pricey and saw one on craigslist and I am in the process of buying it.

I would switch it to the main if your anchoring in mud and grass.
 
Ok, quote for shipping was $45. Ugh!
May just drive up and pick it up!
 
Ours is an FX23. In the Potomac River and tributaries as well as the CB Bay we are mostly mud and some sand. For some reason, ours does not have the mud palms but I know how to get them direct from Fortress.
 
You don't need a router it would be more reliable if you got a dumb Ethernet switch and had that feed a 5GHz 802.11A&N high power access point. It sounds like your wireless camera is actually causing issues between the router, the ROGUE and the shore based access point you're trying to connect to.

Bill,

Your talking greek to me again. But I do need to figure out what is wrong with my whole setup. I find that I am dropping the connection alot.
When this happens I do this:

- First I look at rogue, if link light is out, I unplug rougue and plug it back in and it comes back fine.
- If link light is on, then I just go to wavewifi.com and reconnect to optimum.
- The camera works fine when I plug into router hardwire but not at all wirelessly.

I am starting to think the router is bad as I notice the signal is very weak on the dock where I feel it should be stronger. So my next move is to pick up a better router. Any recommendations? I don't need a butt kicking router, just basic wireless signal on and off boat, no major security, strong signal, decent thruput.
 
Dave look at the basic Ubiquiti 5 port switch, then get a Ubiquiti NANO station (only on 5GHz) this will be used for your local access point to connect to the ROGUE using your wireless devices. The camera must be wired to one port on the Ubiquiti switch. By the way I'll get you part numbers but you will not need any POE's the switch provides power to your ROGUE and the NANO access point as well as the camera. How cool would that be you remove all the POE injectors and the extra cabling?
I promise to get you details and part numbers today.
