Thanks for this Graham and great to talk earlier Looks like I’ll be dismantling the rack and pinion and trying to lube the troublesome cable I’ve also sent an email to Amel on the very slim

Duane I connected the yellow wire of my Zeus 2 to the + of my S2G. And the blue wire of my Z2 to the - of the S2G. Best - Daniel, SN64

I plan to connect the NMEA TX wires from my B&G Zeus 3 MFD to the Raymarine S3g Course Computer. It's a bit confusing though, since B&G outputs to TX_A and TX_B and Raymarine has NMEA0183 connections

Hi Miles, I stripped down your steering when in Lanzarote. The rack is perfect and the problem is that one of the cables is stiff. I left you a message on your mobile earlier if you would like more

Hi Pat, I''m about to tackle the same job on my jib cars, and wondered if you had the part numbers of the bearings you purchased from Euro Marine. Thanks, Steve D. Aloha SM 72

Ian, The diesel engine governors that I am familiar with mechanically limit the engine RPM to a preset level by reducing the throttle setting. If you are getting full revs. in neutral but not under

Bill, Do you have the 78hp Volvo with a governor ? Can you tell me how the governor works--and what might upset it ? Ian

Hi Nick, That's very interesting, and I shall follow it up--but I don't think my Volvo has a sensor like yours---it's 18 years old and no computer has been near it in that time ! In neutral the

Gary, Thanks for getting back on that , I ordered the bearings from Euro Marine , they are now about $24 for a pair , still cheap in boat dollars. Thanks, Pat SM #123

Thanks for this Bill. It gives me confidence to have a go at dismantling the rack and pinion unit. Looks like the SM has a very similar steering system Another idea from James is that the clutch on

Hi Bill: Yes I considered amputating the track but there are two anchor screws in the track aft of the bolt and I would have been left with discolored gelcoat and screw holes where the amputated

Hi Pat I had the same thought as you, i.e. remove only one side. Didn’t work, the “grip” of the car is so close tolerance that it can’t be rotated enough to slide off laterally from the

Miles, We haven't had any problem with the steering, but Harmonie's previous owners did. You might find their blog post about the issue and the pictures

Thank you James of Sueño. Will try disconnecting that tube as well. Best, Peregrinus SM2K N. 350 (2002) Hyères

Hello there group I’ve been wondering about the source of the stiffness of my steering` Following good advice from this forum I removed the Morse steering cables from the rudder quadrant Once

Hello Thomas, Lori and I expect to be arriving in Martinique next Tues or Wed, 2 or 3 May. We will also be heading to Bonaire. I hope we can connect more next week. Dan and Lori Carlson, an #387,

I can not comment on Furuno comparability specifically, but our Raymarine AIS works just fine with our B&G instruments. It did require a special cable adapter to connect the proprietary “Seatalk”

Gary, I also need to remove my cars and I guess this is the solution , I can now stop scratching my head , I was going bald. Do you think the car could be remove if I only removed only one side of the

Gary, That is a perfect solution. Did you consider cutting the bitter end of the track completely off at a point just beyond the bolt? Best, CW Bill Rouse Admiral, Texas Navy Commander Emeritus Amel
