Re: Fibreglass cowling enclosure around C Drive
Hi Eric, I don't want to remove it. The guy who did the survey noticed some movement to which I replied it was mounted on some rubber mounts somehow (I think).
Kind Regards

Fibreglass cowling enclosure around C Drive
Does anyone have any information/sketch about the fibreglass enclosure around the C drive forward of the propeller. How is it secured and how can it be removed for maintenance.
Thank you

Re: Forward looking Sonar - Amel 54 - Echopilot FLS 2D frequency vs B&G Sonic Speed Sensors or Depth Sounders
Hello Gang,
I fully back Ken in his OpenCPN support and use.
It is done brilliantly by sailors and it is FREE! Like most things, there is a learning curve to it.
Cheers,

Re: AMEL orange boot stripe
I painted the boot stripe red, and just had it done in GelCoat. I am looking forward to seeing the longevity of GelCoat vs paint. The paint lasted about 2.5 years under the stern, but the bow still

Google overlays is not difficult to read, and is sometimes the only option for a map. In some places the maps are a 100 meters off. Take a look at the entrance to Maupiha'a in the French

Re: Anchor roller
Hi Bill, I should think that sawing will certainly work, especially since the shaft is welded so it won't spin on you. SawzAll with a metal blade may be easier than a sabre saw, but either should do.

Anchor roller
It's time to replace my anchor roller. There have been a few inquires in the past but no suggestions.
The shaft is welded on both sides. Poor installation.
The only remedy I can see is to sabre saw

Hello Porter
Not only for Mac users: You can use the Squiddio plugin for OpenCPN and download ready to go Google Earth files in *.kap format with any visited place with squiddio.

We’re a Mac family. To download google map or bing map overlays, previously we needed a windows machine for creation of Kap files. Ge2kap I believe was the “program.” Www.Venturefurther.com

Hello James,
I’d like to add some ideas about OpenCPN... I use it for plotting long trips and it’s functionality is very good. IMO, it is an essential backup tool to your other navigation system.

Re: Forward looking Sonar - Amel 54 - Echopilot FLS 2D frequency vs B&G Sonic Speed Sensors or Depth Sounders
I’m going to guess you haven’t used google map overlays. That’s OK.
We have, and they are very helpful.
In fact, openCPN, with google overlays is used by quite a few cruisers in the South

Ken,
Thanks for the response. To me a good Depthsounder has always been very important and I will usually leave one on even while we are anchored as additional confirmation that all is well when
