You‘re welcome Bill. And I didn’t mean bingos (whatever that is). But bungee. The dangers of technology. Cheers Joerg

Ron, I am working on installing gas struts. That cockpit floor is getting heavy. I'll send you the specs of the struts I picked and the location (tried a couple of spots, did not work). -- John

Gary, excellent description and encouraging, thanks. I too have been feeling nervous about tackling this job but your description is great and the above waterline cable exit is reassuring (I'd expect

Hi Reudi; I agree. I was just trying to point out that this chaining of inverter/charger approach has the possibility of almost matching the generator output with units that are manageable in size

Hi Ruedi, Sorry to barge in like this but I actually installed the MV Mass Combi Ultra 24/3500 as well so maybe you want to know what I did as well. In the later 54's the MV inverter is actually

Joerg, thanks for that CW Bill Rouse

Interesting factoid As we get older we loose high frequency hearing, as this is often an assymetric our localisation skill for sound deteriorates. A child or very young adult can often localize far

Willem, I know about the Chinese battery option which is extremely cheap compare to a more integrated solution. But since my boat is in the Caribbean at the moment I am looking for a solution I can

Hi Kent and Iris. This is actually a common phenomenon. I’m am all but sure if you slack your jib halyard this resonance will disappear. This has happened to me and many others as well. If that

We added 24 volt single color LED’s with a dimmer. They are working great – as said before, a HUGE difference. I choose 36 LED per foot to avoid any shadowing. I used the adhesive back to mount

Hi Michele: I will echo what Jason Rutledge posted and perhaps amplify the procedure. I provided about a dozen photos to Bill and perhaps he will post them if he hasn't done so already.. Jason and

The gas struts that assist opening the cockpit floor and holding the hatch open are seriously deteriorated on my boat. Rather than reinvent the wheel, I was wondering if anyone has found a source and

This sounds like a high frequency resonance issue. With high frequency I would suspect a small component attached to something larger that catches the wind. If you touch the offending item sound

For what it’s worth, the boat I test sailed in 2015 had the main sheet go to the mizzen mast, as does my boat. There is a risk with that arrangement that the sheet will wrap around the corner of

OK, This is a bit difficult for me, as my ears are so bad that I can't hear it, but it's driving Iris to distraction. It just started a week or so ago, and nothing had changed except we anchored in

Juan, I bought 8 Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries (LifePO4) of 100 Ah at 12V with built-in BMS modules from Shenzen Yinkai Power Technology Co., Ltd. Website: www.yinkaipower.com. These batteries

Hello Mohammad This is a lot of Inverting power. You probably not need that much unless you want to run everything simultaneously in the boat 😉 Nevertheless, I ordered the MV MassCombiPro

Dear Michele we did last year because our probe failed and I have tried with success to replace the older one instead to put a new probe for several reasons . We replaced ( my sailor man didi)
