John, Fair winds to you. “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson Best regards,

Thanks for the replies, but my problem just now is getting the old wire out? it is completely jammed! Graham

For some time I could not get my Volvo TMD22A to stop using the key. Not a problem as there is a mechanical stop. An electrician finally traced the problem to the 55 amp grounding fuse which had

John and Ruth, I regret not having had the chance to lift a glass with you. You are obviously my kind of shipmates. May your next adventure be as rewarding as the last. We will miss you both on this

Hi John and Ruth, we met you in St Vincent in 2010 as we cruised down the Caribbean on the way to Panama. Great to have been associated with you since then through the forum. We wish you all the best

Forty years ago this April, while cruising in the Bahamas on my 38' sloop, I met my wife Ruth. Since then we have sailed about 80,000 miles, circumnavigating the world in the sloop and then

Alexandre We had to replace our 50 Amp charger and did it with a Dolphin. The problem with the new one was it was the same size as the 100Amp Dolphin and we had to mount it sideways. The job was

New Dolphin Battery charger? I remember some of you had to change their Dolphin battery charger. In case my 50 AMP is not fixable, which charger did you replace yours with. I would prefer to

Good morning Bill, Finally had the time to look at the battery charger. I tested the Dirupter breakers it is ok. I checked all the fuse, swap them and they are ok. I have the following lights: Green

the good thing with the early in furl mast of the maramu is that they can be serviced with parts you find on the shelves in industrial,you find all the bearing and seal at grainger or allied in the us

Good idea Mark. Temperature tells us much in system's operation on our boats. For instance, I noticed a slight rise in engine room temperature when running the Onan one day. It seemed hotter to me

Derick, I installed a small DC-DC isolated converter. I forget the brand but they would be similar to this:

Derick, The low pass filter is connected to the Antenna Out at the SSB and the antenna cable leading to the antenna turner is connected to the low pass filter. You will need to make a short piece

Good morning Mark, The sensors I use, shows the humidity. I haven't look at setting alarm as I keep on eye on them on a regular basis, but this is a great idea. Alexandre SM2K #289 NIKIMAT Bay

Mark, The temperature sensors you linked to are made to run on 12 VDC, yet you say you powered them off of the compressors. Do the compressors for the refrigerator/freezers run on 12 VDC or 24

Mark, Sounds like good advice. I see the Low Pass Filter on-line. Just to be clear, you install the Low Pass Filter on the IslandTime WiFi antenna, not on the SSB antenna, correct? Where in the

Bases on some of the discussions regarding thermometers in the batteries etc. I am thinking about adding a temperature sensor to the engine room. I am wondering if I can get one that has a humidity

Derick, I blow up my Islandtime PC router when I installed my SSB. I have a HAM friend. In hind sight, I should have consulted him at the beginning for the project rather than trouble shooting
