Hi Mike: We've had ours done last year = no problem, except it's still short. Cheers, Veit s/v Atman SM215

Sounds like it's been disconnected from bonding and goes right to your SSB. I'll be going to my boat this week end and will look at how my SSB plates are connected to the radio and let you know what

Hi Mike, It has not shrunk... It is meant that way to let the water exit below the gutter, clear of the hull line.. No lines on your hull. The exit point is under the gutter about 30 cms forward of

What has been the relative success rate in removing and reinstalling the rubber gutter on the top of the rub rail. Do they lose their elasticity and become too stiff to reinstall. And at what age was

If you have a newer SSB (e.g., Icom 802) with a dedicated DSC receiver, the triatic would be good for that as well. Bill Kinney S/V Harmonie SM #160 Hollywood Florida

Jean-Pierre and all Many thanks for the tips on where to source LED's for the internal light fittings on our SM2000. Just been browsing though the boatlamps.uk site in particular and it has everything

Kent I guess so. there are one stud with YG cables and I assume it,s the thick YG cable to disconnect none of the YG are labeled only the +/- are labeled BLU Paul

Thanks bob. Really appreciate your information. It is a remarkable marina made more so by the dedicated staff. Regards Danny Sent from Samsung Mobile

HI, You just use the core of the coax n use the triatic for navtex or weather fax. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

The BLU wire is only connected to the sintered SSB ground plate. Once you disconnect it from the connector block at the cart tabke it is not connected to anything else. Are you sitting in salt water

Cheers

Hi Bob, Good to know they are all OK...I saw a photo of Reve de Lune and Amelit in the cyclone pits and they are both apparently OK. I doubt its worth the trouble with the triatic stay, good ground is

Glad you're making progress, Paul. I haven't looked into the connection from the SSB plates yet. Does anyone else know how the antenna system is connected to the ground plates? Paul, have you found

Hi Danny. The boats in the water did mostly fine. A lot of rocking and minor dings but nothing major. There were 4 I believe boats on stands that had damage from falling off their stands. All

Hi Bob, as a Vuda point regular I was concerned to see how they had fared. So the pit boats were OK. How did the ones in the water and on the hardstand fare. Regards Danny SM 299 Ocean Pearl

Thanks Alan for the quick reply. I do have an automatic tuner and wondered if tuning to the longer physical length by adding in the triatic would be an advantage. In at in a pit at Vuda Marina and

Hi Bob, If you have an automatic tuner there would be no advantage in connecting the triatic to your backstay. The tuner tunes the frequency to the length of the antenna automatically. If you don't
