We landed in Cienfuegas in May 2017 after fooling around in Jardines de la Reina for a few days to snorkel (prior to checking into the country). We were unmolested while in Jardines de la Reina and

I'll add another vote for a second antenna on the mizzen I have used an AIS with a splitter and never noticed a performance problem, but having a back up antenna is a good thing. It is the way

Hi, I cannot tell you how Amel wired your lighting. I would start by finding the circuit breaker that controls that light and see if it working. However I had a similar problem on Kimberlite in my

Many thanks for your advice, Alan, Mark, Craig, AIan and Richard, veryhelpful. Mark and Ian: I am tempted by the redundancy of a secondantenna, but does the 5m difference in height make any

Hi Richard, I had not picked up on that, nor that the Vesper Blue Box is also a Wi-fi router. Does your IPad also include chart and radar along with the Vesper's AIS, as the B&G system does? With

Thanks to all. I had to go back to Germany for Christmas and new year. So I cannot try all off your Ideas in the moment. Fair Winds Heinz SM 2000 Quetzal 292 Von: amelyachtowners@...

Although I am not absolutely certain about the last two years of Maramu production, Maramus previous had three breakers for the interior lights. Forward cabin lights had a breaker on the drop open

Yes mine as well from the salon main panel however I discovered more breakers.... If you haven't done any electrical work I find it odd that the positive leg is dead...zero volts right?

I have never seen a CB for the aft cabin lights. They always operate with the main cabin lights CB on the 12v panel. It's a Maramu, not a Super Maramu and may well be simpler. Kind

Graham, I cannot answer definitely because I have an SM. On my boat there are separate DC breakers for the watertight compartments. On SM 37 the breaker for the aft cabin it is located in the head

Craig might not know this but Vesper does sell both a black box AIS transponder and one with a display. I’ve gone with the Vesper 'black' box - BTW it’s blue not black! - on my NMEA 2000 network.

Hi, here is the diagram. Best regards

Can anyone help me with an electrical problem in our 1988 Maramu 46 #240. All the lights in the aft cabin have failed.  We checked all the bulbs, of course! We have established that the problem is

Graham, Dumb questionbut, have you determined the DC breaker for the aft lights is operational? With bestregards, Mark Skipper Sailing Vessel- Cream Puff - SM2K -

AHA! I guess the prior owners had an MOM , but it was gone by the time I acquired Kristy. Thanks Eric. Kent S/V Kristy SM243

Did the same as Mark. Good to have the second antenna - is an easy swap if there is a problem with the VHF antenna. Nice having two masts for all the cables. Ian Ocean Hobo SN96

Hi Cathy & Guillaume, Your specific question has been answered in other replies, but I do wonder a bit about your overall plan for what seems an upgrade of the original equipment. While I'm sure the

Hello Cathy and Guillaume, Given that the AIS in the B&G is only a receiver not a transponder, you should have no trouble with a splitter between the VHF and the antenna to feed an external AIS

We have some. Went to Holguin Provence. Puerto de Vita marina. Came down from the ragged cays. We did get papers from the USCG. Hands down a top cruising experience!! Let us know how I we might
