Hi Warren, of course a pilot mounted on the wheel will never have the power of a fixed one installed on the rudder. However, I still have his original Neco driver who is not kidding in terms of

My Sharki has still the original equipped Neco 392 autopilot. The best autopilot I ever have seen and used. It works even with wind and waves from backwards when most autopilots fails and gave up.

Hi Giorgio. I also own a Sharki. I've been sailing with no autopilot for some years now in SE Asian waters. I am seriously considering a wheel mounted pilot but am constantly advised that they would

On my Sharki I installed a Windpilot that also works as an emergency rudder. No problem with mizzen. Then I also have a Navico electronic pilot installed externally on the steering wheel. The idea of

Great advice. Exactly what we do, except for selling it later. We let our spare go with the boat when we sold it. We found all of the components, used, but serviceable, on line.... ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

There are 5 components to your Raymarine autopilot system: Control Head Course Computer Drive Unit Fluxgate Compass Rudder Reference A failure of any component can cause the system to fail. Individual

Dear all, hope everyone did have a great Chrismas and will have a good start into 2020. We are starting to prepare our Sharki for the long passage from Europe to the Caribbean. Up to now we have

Not that much of a long shot. Bill was on my boat in October and spotted the same thing. Once I re-sealed the cable from the Genoa furler my forward lockers dried right up. Amazing how much water

It could be the hatch seals on the port bow locker.... if you get water over the bow and the hatch seals are leaking, the water will wick down the security rope ans ewnd up on the wall of that small

Thanks James and Bill. I’ll see where that cable goes and check it out. James, I’d hoped you’d have a magic potion that would take the salt right out. Maybe potatoes or rice? :-) Kent &

Kent, I assume that you have eliminated obvious sources like hatch and fixed plexiglass ports. So...this may be a long shot, but, check the RTV seal on the cable from the Genoa furler where it meets

Kent, Sorry to hear about the wet carpet and mildew problem. Since the carpet is soaked with salt water, you must remove the salt or else the carpet will stay forever damp since salt can pull

Hi everyone, hope you are all having a great holiday and sailing season. we have just discovered very damp carpeting in the open storage space all the way forward on the port side of the V Berth (next

Paul, I should have said, to first look for a loose or corroded connection. CorrosionX is your friend. --

Thanks Bill, I’ll check that. The entire heater was replaced 5 years ago. Cheers, Paul S/Y Ya Fohi - Amel 54 #98

Hi Paul; We had the same issue December 2016 while winter sailing in Greece (Not a great idea by the way). We decided to change the entire unit due to age and other potential problems that could

If I had this problem, I would check for 220VAC at the heating element terminals. If you have 220VAC at the terminals, it is the heating element, which is not difficult to change on a 54 Isotemp

Hi All, My hot water heater has stopped heating the water. I’m guessing its either the thermostat or the heating element. Would anyone be able to give me a pointer as to how best to find out
