Re: Fiji Pearl rendezvous Ken Powers SV Aquarius #47407 Not sure if this is to Ken on Aquarius... But.... Yes, I have OpenCPN running on my Mac and my PC on board Aquarius. And we use it most of the time. I love OpenCPN. Most of the experienced sailers out here are using it as well.

Access to water maker panel AMEL54 Alexander Ramseyer #47406 Dear Amelians, is the only way to access behind the water maker panel from the front? If I take away the 4 screws there is a lot of resistance. I realize not all 54's have it at the same place, mine is in the middle, above the sinks. Thanks! Alex SY NO STRESS AMEL54 #15

Re: When to use Running Back Stays and Onan Control Board PCB CW Bill Rouse #47405 Alan, Check with your local Onan dealer. I think your Onan part is 327-1533 PCB Assembly. There are several places I found in the US that have this part in the $1,200 - $1,300 range.

Re: Fiji Pearl rendezvous Paul Brown #47404 Hi Paul, last year I had the latest B&G installed and despite a software upgrade introduced later last year it works really well, in the boat speed needs to be less than 5kns to maintain accuracy and clarity, I’m happy Regards Paul - Fortuna II 55#17 toggle quoted messageShow quoted text On 15 Aug 2019, at 9:41 am, Paul Osterberg <osterberg.paul.l@...> wrote: Ken I'm thinking of installing a forward looking sonar.

Re: Engine alignment david bruce #47397 Thank you Eric, Davi, Bill, Olivier and all for your suggestions regarding the align issue. At present it seems yo be well aligned, done fairly meticulously but sans tool. The vibration is completely resolved. For a variety of reasons we will push on and have to hope that in X# of hours we are not in Davi’s situation. Again thank you. On another recent thread topic regarding anchors. We just switched from S100 spade to 25 kg Rocna since we felt the Spade struggled to penetrate weeds and harder packed bottom surfaces. We have a Rocna on our boat in the PNW and it has been awesome. I did however switch anchors on Liesse with some misgiving given the recent reports of loss of purchase after 180deg wind shifts. Well, to my complete astonishment we fell victim to this phenomenon with the very first use of the Rocna. Gaeta bay is dense mud, very good holding in our experience thus far. We had a solid bite and well set anchor but after a rather lazy low velocity 180 deg wind shift and then back to our original orientation over a a couple of hours we noted we were now dragging as wind built to 18-22 kn. The anchor was completely filled with a huge clod of mud nearly as tall as the roll bar rendering it more of a large bowling ball than anchor and which was not easy to clear. My impression is that the anchor acts like a large ice cream scoop when is swivels rendering it ineffective if the mud is dense and sticky. This is a disconcerting event on a first deployment to say the least and i m not sure what i ll do but it does seem extra caution is warranted with a thick mud bottom and the 180 deg wind shift when using a Rocna.

I think perfect alignment without a fixed coupling is 99% luck rather than skill. The alignment is done with the tool, then the engine is slid forward and the tool replaced with a Vetus Coupling. When the Vetus Coupling is removed, be sure to check the Rubber Bushings inside (sold separately). This is a drawing of that tool for a Super Maramu.

I'd rather not go into how this occurred but suffice it to say that moving a boat a few hundred meters at idle to a travel lift minus the stb forward alternator bracket in place is not a good idea. (bracket was being welded after breaking and landing alt on spinning spline pulley) Our well intentioned but seemingly flummoxed non English speaking mechanics have us decoupled ( engine/transmission, not marriage) and best I can tell are ruminating on a fix. I absolutely don't want to make matters worse. Any advice on what to do or advise them or what specifically NOT to do at this point would be greatly appreciated. i think finding someone with significant Amel experience nearby is highly unlikely. Thanks so much for any advisement. Best regards, Dave Bruce sv Liesse SN006 <DSC04156.jpg>

Re: Fiji Pearl rendezvous Ken Powers SV Aquarius #47395 Same in Fiji, same in Indonesia, same in Vanuatu. You should have Google Map Overlays for all your anchorages. OpenCPN with the google map overlays is a good solution. Also, I would suggest forward looking sonar for anyone doing a circumnavigation.
