RayMarine AIS500 Installation and Use
Has anyone installed a RayMarine AIS500?
If so I have a couple of questions:
1. Did you have any trouble interfacing with your chart plotter, for instance I have a C80 at the helm.
2. Where did you

wet exhaust mixer elbows
Both our Yanmar and Onan wet exhaust mixer elbows are near the end of their lives. The prices for the OEM parts seem a bit high, even as boat parts go. Apparently, the previous owner of our boat

Re: [Amel] worm clamp tape
I have been using first aid tape that you use to hold on gauze bandages. It

Rope cutters
Hi y'all, We have had Spurs rope cutters on Pen Azen ( SM 302) for ten years. On a couple of occasions we have encountered fairly thick rope and the fixed blade has just snapped off. Spurs

[Amel] Re: Rigging Covers
Eric,
The slit was the width of the sawblade. The material is flexible enough to work with so you just need the one cut.
We've had ours on for over a year and they still look fine. We came back

Re: [Amel] Re: Rigging Covers
Dave,
I was thinking of that,
However how long does it hold up in the Caribbean sun?
Did you cut a very small slit ? or what size,? What did you seize it with?

Re: Rigging Covers
Available at any hardware store.....PVC pipe
I use a table saw to cut a slit.
After installing I seize it every 500mm or so.

Re: [Amel] Rigging Covers
A couple of years ago we found the larger diameter plastic rigging
covers in a chandlery in Le Marin, Martinique. I don't know today if
they still have those larger diameters. But Amel-Caraibes

Re: [Amel] Heavy Weather
Steve,
I store mine in the port cockpit locker all the way forward in the original
bag. Next to it I have the chafe gear.
I packed it in such a way that the bridle is on top and then I drop in

Re: [Amel] Heavy Weather
Thanks Eric,
Based on your earlier accounts and recommendations, I bought a Jordan series
drogue before we left on the 2009 Caribbean 1500. Like the life raft, hoping we
never have to use it, but
