Richard, I have 24v going into the computer terminal but nothing coming out to the motor.I figure the computer is responsible for making this happen,( electric to flow out the other terminals to the

I sprayed Corrosion X in all the terminals saturating the wire and connections. The autohelm is still displaying a low battery message.I fear I may have to replace the computer. If anyone has any

We are installing new sinks in the galley on Maramu 144 and it looks like the boat as designed had them drain directly into the bilge. Is that correct? If so, I don't much care for it as I can

Tom, I replaced the two front windows in the cockpit a couple years ago. I ordered the plexiglass online ,then used the old ones as a template and cut them out with a saber saw. You need the cut

The perceived scratching is actually very minute crazing caused by acid rain, industrial pollution, putting wax on the plexi, using rain-x (read the label.), and dry wiping the plexi, amongst a host

Don't know the source of the damage (new boat to us) but our plexiglass in the cockpit is scratched/damaged in places. Looks like either UV or someone went crazy with an abrasive compound. Anyone have

well rudder gain is a personal choice thing dependent on how tight a course you want to hold and how much activity you want the autohelm to use and power to consume.. regards David

Hi to all, wich is your experience with Autohelm ST7001 plus > Dealer Calibration > Rudder Gain ? I had to replace my Course Computer and I found that the Rudder Gain value was "2" !? It was the

Sounds good but you are assuming that the chain is not stretched - and having seen how easy it was to bend the shank of a Wasi anchor and knowing the displacement of an Amel i would be measuring the

The keyways on the bronze cones do get worn but an engineer can easily mill out a new keyway to make them as good as new. The chain is prone to jumping on the gypsy as it is only touching two links at

I must disagree. It is not always possible to see if a capacitor has died. Sometimes it is easy when the casing suffers a rupture but other times there is no visual indication.Capacitors are cheap

Just as a WILD GUESS it could be that your gearbox and shaft are producing electrical noise when they start to rotate. Broken earth wire somewhere????? regards David [Non-text portions of this

Sonic speed gives a lot of surprises on my Amel Santorin. Every time the boat was launched readings are different. So I had to adjust the spacing knob in instument black box. But now I experienced a

Hello George, Are you sure that the compressors are shot? Could also be a blown capacitor inside the electrical box of the airco. It's easy to see when they are blown. Changing is easy and will cost

Conn, I stand corrected about the key...this is what happens when I write from memory. I now remember that I replaced the the cone, not the gipsy/gypsy, because of key-way wear. I think that you

Thanks all for your info. The keyway is on the outer cone on mine. There is some wear on the gipsy-gypsy (my spell checker accepts both ) on the pull side. So I will look into a new one. Thanks

WELL Bill, On our gypsy it was the chain recesses that were/are worn - as to spelung well Lofrans' is an Italian company so one cant expect proper Henglish can we now and you are American he

Conn, Yes it means 3/8 High Tensile. That said, David's suggestion about replacing the gipsy at the same time that the chain is replaced is sound. On close inspection, you will probably find that

OR do what we are doing after 10 years replacing the gypsy AND the chain at the same time from the same people Budget marine. Of course our boat which Judy and Bill know rather well was in charter
