Hi Tom, Thanks for the details on your new autopilot, very helpful. We were docked right next to your boat at Caraibe Greement while we were getting a new rig. I hope we do get a chance to get

For any of you who were interested in my inquiry (several weeks ago) about total power loss on my Maramu when a loose alternator cable shorted out, I solved the problem. I wasn't in any hurry as it's
