Hi Craig, I’ve kept my boat simple. No radar at all. My only chartplotter is Navionics on my iPad. Navionics cannot display the AIS. Instead the AIS displays on Vespers own app. So it isn’t

Thank you Roque and Nick. Much appreciated. Sent from my iPhone X

C&G, I've got the B&G NAIS400 (2 years old) and it does, indeed, like the newer 500 model, have its own GPS, as you note the Vesper does. The GPS antenna is a "mushroom" dome which I've mounted on the

Hi Dean, I just checked, the mizzen backstay is 7mm 1X19. Not sure on the length but about 15m. The expense is not an extra metre or two of wire but the fittings especially the two insulators. I just

Dean, you are referring to the mizzen backstay I assume? if so it is not 10mm, more like 7mm. I will check my records Nick

Hi folks, Can anyone please advise (or point me to a resource) about the length and wire gauge of the Amel 54 backstay. I’m still considering whether to use a starboard backstay or whip

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.
