All - The machine shop finally came back (my job was low priority vs his COVID job backlog). He made the new part half thick and now made of SS316 instead of Alu. I like those a lot. About to order

Pat, and everyone. I have two points that I want to make (one of them is exactly what you are asking for). The group.io platform has a powerful search engine as compared to the Yahoo Groups search.

Update on anchor. Arrived few days ago. Very easy to replace the original anchor deliver with the boat. It took half an hour. First impression is that it holds much better then the previous one. Have

Jeff, That is exactly what I was suggesting , the example of pilot's reports is a good analogy . We have rather complicated boats and I think it would be interesting and helpful to be able to read

I know we have a files section ,I guess I should have been more specific ,and suggested a category titled within the file section to list things learned or mistakes discovered ,that may be passed on

hello Pat No i could not open the switch, One of the studs broke so I had to buy one new switch for a very substantial price Regards Paul SY Kerpa SM#259

I think a Lessons Learned section is an excellent idea. Pilots file reports when they mess up so everyone can learn from it. Jeff S/V Spruzzo

We have a "Files" section already..... Cheers Alan Elyse SM437

Eric, I have a new one being shipped, I will compare it to what i have now. The point I was making ,is that there may be others that may purchase and install an alternator without considering if it

Hi Dan, Yes we have 3 x 200W panels wired in series so they start early and maximise the MPPT;s ability to deliver good current to the batteries Another advantage of series wiring is the smaller gauge

Pat, The isolated ground alternators usually have a piece of black plastic under the mounting stud. It is quite easy to visually separate the isolated ones from the non-isolated ones. Fair

I was thinking that maybe we should have a file section ,where owners could list facts or lessons they have learned ,where they could pass them on so that other owners do not make the same mistakes .

Thanks Joel I was thinking that was going to be the way to go, figued I'd bounce the question off the group as it never hurts to ask, right.. Rick Stanley S/V Althea
