Re: Good Service In Marmaris Turkey
Yes, the AP needs to be in "Wind" mode for VMG optimization to work. If you are steering a compass course all the information about wind angle is ignored.

Re: Good Service In Marmaris Turkey
Bill Kinney,
I checked the box in "Autopilot > Sailing > VMG Optimizing". Thanks for the tip!
Now, for this to work one must designate a waypoint to navigate to and activate "Wind Navigation",

Re: Our new Amel and a little light problem
Hello Dean,
We bought our Navisafes back in 2012. We got the stickiness problem which led to the case eventually breaking at the screwing loops (i.e., the whole case) as I tightened it. I was going

Re: DC Grounding fault
Problem solved !
It's the laptop at the nav station.
Somehow there is a circuit between 24V-ve and ground that has to do with the laptop charger and the AIS.
Charger disconnected, AIS, GPS, Pactor

You are absolutely correct.
My decision to keep standard deck lights followed on from a friend's experience with Lopolight deck lights - exactly the issue you had trying to replace/repair when at

@SVPeregrinus,
+1 for your NaviSafe suggestion. I now have the tricolor variant on-board.
I have used these before, and they are a great solution.
After a year or two I find that the plastic housing

Re: Our new Amel and a little light problem
Ian,
What you have done makes sense to me. It's great to have easy access and servicing (bulb change) to something which needs replacing on a regular basis.
LED lights "should" not need replacing

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] DC Grounding fault
Hi Alan;
We sometimes (may be once or twice every year) have this issue for a short time without having made any modifications. As a matter of fact it happened a couple of days ago when we docked in

DC Grounding fault
I wrote about this last year and never found a solution but the problem went away by itself.
NOW it's back again : MASSE - light comes on when the switch in the companionway is operated.

Even though we have B&G brand instruments for most things, our system looks very little like the original 1990's electronics that came with our boat when we bought her.

We thinking of buying the Raymarine EV 400 system as main AP and use the old Autohelm as back up.

Re: Good Service In Marmaris Turkey
Yes, a 24 ->12 volt convertor will certainly work. The advantages of the resistor are fewer parts (one!) and it cost $2.80--for a package of two.
I do not know how consistent the menu trees are for
