There is an alternative to a paddle wheel sensor. The Airmar CS4500 ultrasonic speed and temperature sensor. It connects directly to the B&G Hydra 2000, there's a specific connection for it. Only

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has some links to Gulf Stream data for Northeast USA. I have a few links but would like more. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

My sonic speed started acting up last season and I ordered the transducers from England. Not cheap but they look like those from the user's manual left in Ipanema from its previous owners. As the

Thanks Bill- just to be clear, my pads won't squeeze the prop brake rotor tightly no matter if the adjustment screw is all the out or all the way in. It seems to make no difference. I'm assuming if I

Hello, Is your Amel still for sale ? If so would you please send me some information. Thank you

Wow, that’s different! Thanks Bill Kent Robertson S/V Kristy SM243 St Michaels, MD

No... FireFly batteries can not be "desulfated" in the normal sense of the word. If they are operated at a partial state of charge for multiple cycles, they apparently can show some temporary

Thanks Bill, However, if the pads are worn and the piston is at the end of it's travel i.e hard up at the end of the cylinder, adjusting the spring tension or replacing the spring won't have any

Thomas, The shaft brake stops the shaft disk when transmission pressure is zero, and opens as soon as the engine starts and transmission pressure increases. The hydraulic ram adjustment exists to have

Bill, I am glad to hear that the Firefly batteries are exceeding your expectations. Perhaps in the future the cost differential for the Fireflies versus conventional batteries will decrease.

Hi BILL I had a discussion with a local supplier in New Zealand...and it turned out that they were even more expensive than LiFePO4 batteries...which I quite like the idea of. The advantage of the

Good idea !! Our problem was that the pads weren't hardly in contact with the disk ! So our only solution was to modify the system so that it could be adjusted. We were at sea at the time...it was

First try disk brake cleaner. (Just to insert this into this topic for others that may be looking for solutions to this problem)-- A couple of things to do first. We had a problem with the prop shaft

Bill, Batteries are less expensive than a genset. Thank You for the explanation. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Very interesting Bill. It will be interesting to see how long they last. Can the Firefly’s be desulfated if they seem to be showing signs that all isn’t well? Kent Robertson S/V

Eric, Yes, that is the cost. Expensive. They are very expensive, and as I wrote, NOT for everybody. They only make sense if: you can reduce the number of batteries you need based on the tolerance
