I have heard that one can use the anchor watch in a manner that you get information on your mobile phone when you are out and the boat is slipping. There are a lot of such gps systems for cars,

Hi Eric, I mean besides fabricating and installing actual rigging. The posts from the others about the genoa being installed on the wrong slot reminded me of the wiring mix up. I helped put the

Hello Ryan and I apologize for having sent this message to the whole group. I am very sleep deprived lately and I am a danger to myself and those around me… Some background, quickly. I have been

Ryan, I am a live aboard in Boston Harbor on SM#195. Personal message me and I will share a better contact email and my phone number. This is my 3rd year on board and I'd be happy to help you

Hi John, What do you mean by “associated work needs more attention”? Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Yes Pat you could well be right, and we remember the Amel gathering well, we were fairly new owners then and it was a real buzz to get together. One thing further on the securing a dinghy. You can

Hi Eric, I had my rigging down also in March 2017, Caraibe did a good job, I think the rig looks good. Only complaint was the genoa furling motor wired backwards. Not a big deal and easy fix.

Ryan, The rewiring you ask about is a really complex question... Yes, what you want to do CAN be done. but how can be complex and rather detail oriented, and depends a lot on your individual boat's

Alan, You get 110 volts of you connect the white wire (neutral) to the wiring on the boat. I only use the Red , Black, and Green. I felt it was best not to use the neutral on board. I get my 110

Hello Ken, I caught them putting the genoa on the starboard track… they had to make it right. But I took time to explain why the genoa had to go on port track. It should not happen again for an

Bill. This guy bought a boat I built for Frank Mc Carrol and his wife Bernadette who I got quite close to. It was struck by lightning. He asked me how to fix it as I have been involved, with support

Hello Eric, Gaetan Rivet Caraibe did my standing rigging 5 months ago. Looks good, and was a bit more than 10K euros for the entire job. The only thing I could complain about is that they put the

Lots of people tell you that these will work on the Amel 24 volt system. But, I blew out many LED lights trying to change over. Trust me, buy two of these lamps and put them in series. You will be

Ryan, That was a lot of words, but your question was, "how best to separate out some circuits so they always have 50Hz, but allow others to use whatever frequency is available." The smart-ass answer

Hello Ryan, I also had a problem with the overhead lights with the two parallel inserts to make connection. I did find some that "worked" but the only worked for about 10 minutes and blew out.

Hello all , I hard the same issue on both toilets , ont have been fully glass fiber reinforced , and for the second , I have made long search on internet and found the following supplier

Pat, I used the same, but thick cable and had almost the same "bait" in 58 countries...a 3.2 AB Aluminum with a 15hp 2 cycle...almost 13 years. Maybe it was thickness...maybe luck! CW Bill

On No. 350, Peregrinus, no 60Hz devices come onboard. All devices are 50Hz or 50/60Hz. Most of the devices, by far, we purchased in the U.S. Amazon.co.uk is a great source. On #350, the 230V user

So here's the plan... 1. Start trying to find a replacement Capacitor as we cruise. 10 microfarads. (Ryan, you are quite correct, but I knew what Bill meant :-) 2. If it's the Cap, then we carry on
