Dear Richard, Gottschalk and John

Thanks to all of you for helping us, to connect NMEA of the B&G
Hydra 2 to the other instruments. Once you know how it works, it is
easy:

As a resume of all your infos: The NMEA FFD is used to connect the
Hydra 2 system to a NMEA device. To do this, the NMEA FFD has a 9
core cable of which brown, blue and violet are used for NMEA.

NMEA Input Signal - Brown
NMEA Input Return - Blue

NMEA Output Signal - Violet
NMEA Output Ground - Black

Safe sailing to all of you
und immer eine handbreit Wasser unter dem Kiel :-)

I connected the ST7000 to the B&G in order to display true wind info
on the B&G using heading info from the Raytheon fluxgate compass.
This may not be want you want but see message 155 which contained
advice from B&G Technical Dept and was very
helpful.
John.

Hallo Hanspeter,
die Formatierung der letzten mail hat nicht geklappt, daher diesmal die Belegung im Anhang!!

ist eigentlich kein Problem.
Ich bin leider nicht an bord und erinnere mich nicht genau.
Es gibt entweder beim FFD oder am "Computer" einen Ausgang mit NMEA
Ich glaube es war am FFD ?? ;-))
In der Betriebsanleitung ist das ersichtlich.
Ich habe alles (GPS, Radar, Autopilot Bedienteil, Autopilot Raytheon Computer, B&G und Notebook über einen Multiplexer vernetzt.
Das kann aber etwas Probleme machen und die Übertragungsrate wegen der vielen Daten ausbremsen.
Hier in der Anlage die Belegung des FFD. damit sollte eigentlich alles klar sein (im Anhang).

Es macht natürlich keinen Sinn die Daten eines Gerätes, die im Multiplexer mit anderen zusammengefügt werden wieder an das Ausgangsgerät zu schicken!!
Da muß man ev. am Multiplexer die Daten-Eingänge und Ausgänge umprogrammieren, so daß nur die richtigen Daten zum jeweiligen Gerät kommen.
Oder man nimmt eine direkte Verbindung vom sendenden Gerät zum empfangenden unter Umgehung des Multiplexers. An einem Datenausgang können sicher zwei bis drei Geräte angeschlossen werden.

Achtung (zur Installation):

a.. Ein NMEA-FFD kann an jedem Punkt des System-Network-Datenbus angeschlossen werden. Sinnvoller Weise montiert man dieses jedoch immer in der Nähe des über NMEA zu verbindenden Gerätes (GPS), um die Kabelwege der NMEA-Datenleitung zu minimieren.
a.. Es können mehrere NMEA-FFD"s in einem System betrieben werden; dieses bietet dann die Möglichkeit, verschiedene weitere NMEA-fähige Geräte einzuspielen (Decca, Loran usw.).
a.. NMEA-FFD's können in der Kombination mit allen anderen Anzeigentypen betrieben werden (Standard FFD, Jumboanzeigen, Halcyon-Display, Pilot-FFD).
Abgeschirmte Kabel:

a.. Es werden abgeschirmte Kabel bei den Geräten benutzt, um ungewollte Einstörungen in das System zu verhindern (EMC Vorschrift) und diese müssen nach diesen Anleitungen auch installiert werden!
a.. Die Abschirmungen von NMEA-Kabeln müssen auf der "sendenden"-Seite aufgelegt werden!
a.. Die Abschirmung des NMEA-Ausgangskabels sollte in der Anschlussbox mit den anderen Abschirmungen verbunden werden.
Abschlusswiderstand (Network-Terminator):

Sollte das NMEA-FFD das letzte in der Datenbus-Leitung installierte Display sein, so ist hier der Abschlusswiderstand zwischen die weisse und die grüne Ader zu setzen! Nur zwei Widerstände pro System werden benötigt!

Ich habe das auf deutsch geschrieben ist vielleicht für beide leichter.

Hi Richard
Thanks for your fast answer. Unfortunately there is a misunderstanding (my English is too bad sorry). We have a NMEA multiplexer, but we can't find out where the connection is on the side of the B&G Hydra2. Do we need to add a component to the B&G or is there a possibility to connect the wire for the NMEA out + Ground directly to the B&G processor unit?.
Regards
Hanspeter

You can't just connect two differing NMEA streams together nad hope that the receiving instrument will correctly interpret them. You need to connect them to an NMEA multiplexer first.

Hi all

I had announced my intent to sell "PFM" (SM #133) awhile back, and I received
several inquiries. But with work, travel, and a home remodel, I did not have
the information together. I have finally completed putting the information
together. She is currently lying in Trinidad, and is definitely FOR SALE.

You can see pictures and get the information on the web site
WWW.ECOCONUTINC.COM.

Hello again,
This subject is being flogged to death! The contact glue is probably
Evostik. Used to fix laminates to kitchen work tops etc. Much loved by
teenage gluesniffers. Obviously it makes a good emergency solution. Perhaps
that product used to stop fanbelts slipping would also work.
I suggested kevlar rope as it worked when we had a problem in Turkey. It
had to be sent in from Istambul to the huge marina at Marmaris and even
then only 12mm. was available. Since then I have bought a replacement in
the UK to keep as a spare, it is 10mm. Spectra which is even more stretch
resistant than kevlar and I had the chandlery put an eye splice in one end,
incidentally the ends are melted neatly so perhaps it is similar to the New
England product which is nt available in Europe.
Unfortunately different manufacturers have different names for products
which are probably virtually identical.

Regards from Sicily, Anne and
John

I am interested to participate as a crew on the ARC-2005 Rally with a
Super Maramu. I want to have the experience before trying it with my
own SM. I am experienced in the SM-2000 boat. I have sailed in the med
and I want to extend my experience in the ocean. You can learn more
about me in my website www.almalibre.gr. If any owner of a SM is
interested I will be glad to discuss proposals and schedules in my
private e-mail dkra@almalibre.gr

Can anyone share their experiences with the fuel injector pump (mine is a Bosch, I believe) on the "Volvo" TMD 22a. It appears mine is not achieving the approprate psi.

Thank you.

Hi Willem,

by adhesive I mean a contact glue. The type that you apply normally to both
surfaces, allow to dry for about 15 minutes then press together. A common
brand in the UK is called Bostik, though on Crusader I have a tin of
something else, but I forget its name. I guess they are all much the same.

I hope that helps.

Regards

Ian

Hello Ian,

I am interested in what you mean with 'adhesive' Is that 'glue' or another product? will you be so kind to mention me a brand?

Wille be much obliged!

Best winds,

Willem J. Kroes

No problem Bob. As you know,when you 'are out there' and things go wrong, you
have to improvise if you don't have the part, and the adhesive I found worked
very well.

Incidentally I have found the same problem with the main sheet traveller at
times. The rope seems to shrink and stretch with the climate and if you tighten
the rope too much, it can be tough to move the traveller when the rope shrinks.
So I keep it on the slack side and stop it slipping with a little adhesive. It
may help me keep sailing a few years longer!

All the best

Ian

Thanks to all for thoughts on outhaul problem. Ian, as always you
seem to cook up an alternative to the norm, I will try that, thanx

Dear All,

I had a similar problem in Greece. I bought a normal rope and it

was

extended by on meter ( 3 feet) after a few days of use. I ordered

from Amel

the original rope but it also extended slightly 15 cm after use

and I was

able to take the it in in order to tight the rope. The rope has

to be very

tight any slack will make the system useless.

John,

If you will look at your outhaul line, you will see it has been melted at
the ends. Kevlar does not melt. I originally thought mine was also Kevlar
and the jacket slipped over the core. I brought a piece to New England ropes
and they said it was closest to their endura braid. I have been using this
for over a season and it works fine.

Fair winds,

Eric

The outhaul line has to be kevlar. It is not readily available in most
places and the prudent yachtie will carry some against the time that it is
needed. Anything less will stretch and slip.

From experience one of the key factors is how you
attach the line to the car. I secure the outhaul end
(the end which is under tension when the sail is
out)with a knot - fisherman's bend is favourite
because it doesn't slip - and sew or whip the "loose"
end for extra security. I then take the weight on
that end so I have maximum slack to tie the other end.
You can't work a fisherman's bent tight enough so use
a round turn and two half hitches, pulling up as tight
as you can and whipping or sewing the end. I have
been amazed at how much a knot will give when load is
repeatedly applied and released.
