Most helpful Ryan. This makes sense and gives me good direction towards troubleshooting. I would never have postulated that the relay would reach back to the house 24v batteries for its

Hi Ken, until you have sailed the Tuamotus you cant imagine how uncharted reefs and bommies can appear, rising vertically from very deep water. The FLS is useful there. Fiji has its own specialties

Thanks Ken, we have the Interphase which I believe is out of production now. The biggest difficulty in interpretation is the interference caused by choppy sea. However, having said that, with

Hi Mark, As Bill says the Dessalator is a good design. There are parts available and support form Amel and the Amel Owners Group, I would suggest sticking with it and doing a ground up

Hi Rob, I know the owner. What's up?

Hi Mike, The exciter relay coil is powered by 12V from the ignition switch, and when energized applies 24V from the house bank (via the indicator bulb) to the alternator. If the alternator has been

Jose, That is a great news to use the FLS transducer in the B&G through hull and use the B&G inside the hull. I would like to have the B&G FLS and use it as a second chartplotter with navionics

Hi Bill. Thanks for this info and pictures. Operationally at this point, at startup we are not getting 24v alternator output until about 2000-2200 rpm. Then backing down rpm continue with 24v

Ken, That is a heartstopping event to even ponder! I can see why you appreciate the Echo Sounder as much as you do. One question. Is there an alarm on this unit or do you have to be watching the

All, When I was in the Tuamotus we were crossing the interior of Makemo Atoll from the main town to the East anchorage. We were going 6kts in 50m and we saw the reef come straight out of the blue and

Hello all, I have had a good experience with the FLS from B&G which can be displayed on the B&G Zeus chart plotters together with radar, GPS, AIS, and navigation data. I installed the sensor using

Danny and Yvonne, Aquarius has a Echo Pilot 2D Professional. It does have a stand alone display, and I like it that way. Best, Ken Powers Aquarius SM2K#262

Dominique It is a difference if you measure the speed through water (paddle speed transducer) or the speed on ground (gps). This difference is the current of water you are navigating actually. --

Yes. But my forward scan sounder doesn’t work (it’s 200 kHz like the DST). They can’t work both at the same time. Dominique

Hi everyone, Well as some of you know Robin and I decided to pull Adagio "off the market" so to speak for a while. While doing a demonstration a potential issue cropped up and I felt it best to stop

Pat, I believe someone further up the thread mentioned a max SOG of 2.5 kts. Maybe that is part of the issue for you? Regards, - Justin Hopeful future SM/SM2k owner -- Justin Paulsen IT

I use a gps -nmea to loch pulse between the GPS and the Hydra 2000 and it works

Thank you. Speed and temperature are working? Slavko SM 2000 #279

Hello, I have changed the sonic speed for a DST 800 analogic. It doesn’t work because the sounder is 200 kHz on the DST Airmar and 170 kHz on the B&G. Dominique Irko 1 A54-#16

As I said in a previous post ,I have a new B&G FLS and have not found it useful , the bottom is depicted in a brown color and moving forward I have brown spikes appear in front of the boat as well as
