Hi Bill,
We replaced our Furuno with an HD Garmin last year. The new Garmin cable was much thinner--basically Cat 5 and an integrated power line. Because the Furnuo was a thick cable 10mm or so,

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Lofrans Tigres windlass turns itself on
I met the same problem of the rubber cover on the switch being 'cooked' by sun & water, & made a windlass cover to keep protected.
makes a difference to extend life of rubber parts.

Re: Mizzem mast radar cable
Good for Furuno! I guess it makes good business sense to make it as easy as possible for the customer to stay "in the family".
We went with a Navico 3G radar mainly because it is fully integrated

Duane,
You stated that you had checked the activation switches and they were fine. The most common cause of your issue is a crack in the rubber cover for the activation switches. Saltwater enters and

Thanks, I have always used cable lube, or soap in a pinch. It really can be amazing the difference.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Lofrans Tigres windlass turns itself on
Something I haven't seen mentioned here before, is that the switches for the winches are specified by Lewmar as having only a 3 to 5 year life span before they need to be replaced. I am sure that is

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Mizzem mast radar cable
I believe everything is covered in the prior total of posts on this subject:
Lube the cable with either Cable Lube or liquid soap...Cable Lube is better. Cable Lube is found in Electric Supply shops

Duane,
If you haven't already done so, pull the rear casing off your windlass. Due to age of your boat you will likely find a neat pile of carbon dust from the brushes right underneath the

I did replace radar & cables inside mast last april; did it whilst masts were laying flat on supports (replaced standing rigging).
The radar cable on the Maramu goes into one pvc guide tube running

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Mizzem mast radar cable
Hi Bill,
Just to offer that if you get a product called cable lube and lather the cable with it before you pull it. It doesn't leave residual mess and it is incredible how much easier it is to lull

Hello All,
After 20 years of service our venerable Furuno 1831 has gone to the great boatyard in the sky, and it is time to install our new radar.
