Eric, I know yourfrustration. In addition, FedEx is the absolute worst for customer service. Theywill only deal with the shipper and offer the receiver nothing. Just curious,have you showed this to

Hello Bill, the B&G Forwardscan sensor is 41 mm at the o-ring. It will go through 44 mm hole in the part for the through-hull installation which has a outside diameter of 50 mm. Did you see the

Sorry this is the update file

For those suffering the week-rollover problem on the Furuno GP-150. I can confirm it is possible to update the device yourself. There are a few annoyances. First you need to get hold of a 7-pin cable

Hi Bill, You did an excellent job in charting the way your batteries are behaving! I guess I'm just disappointed by the expectations the Sales Blurb set for me about the the way these batteries

Last time we ordered something from La Rochelle, we tried real hard to explain that FedEx was terrible at delivering to French Polynesia, but there was no other option. We ended up sending a friend at

Bill, I looked that up, that sounds awesome. I must have been in a cave, or work got in the way. I missed that functionality. May I ask, does thing connect to wifi or do you need a router on board? --

JD, These graphs are taken directly from the Victron "VRM" website. With our Cerbo system all of our data (collected every second) is sent to the Victron servers, and is presented on the VRM page in

I ship my Amel Books worldwide. This is a problem everywhere and some places are much worse than others. All shippers use commercial airlines as either the primary source or a secondary source. The

Arno, I agree that the inability to fit a full complement of batteries would be a major problem. But I am curious why you consider a difference of 0.2 volts a major issue? And it seems you consider

I'll double down on what Arnold suggests. Silicon grease (I use Molykote 111) is the top choice here for its extreme water resistance. Most PTFE greases are not highly resistant to water wash-out.

I use SILICON GREASE like for the C-Shaft -- Arnold SY Zephyr SM203

Bill or others, would a marine grade ptfe grease be acceptable to use? Or perhaps a white lithium grease? I seldom have good results with anything on a boat that is not marine grade. Thoughts?

Hi Bill, The point we had was that we planned to put 10 batteries in the boat but this simply did not fit. The Firefly is just a bit bigger then most G31 batteries, making it impossible to put more

Jose, yes I had a typo...42 mm housing for the B&G Depth, but B&G specs are 50.8mm (2 inches) for the Forward-Looking Transducer...see below. I cannot figure out how you replaced the B&G Depth

Thanks Bill and Martin, Greasing makes sense as my problem came to be apparent in the middle of the Atlantic while I was alone for the crossing. I had checked all the compartments and there was no
