Bill, I knew of these 2 boxes but was not aware they were the solenoids; I thought they were resistance breakers. I will have it checked by Willie this morning. From everything it sounds the

Thanks Arno, I switched wires on the relays to one of the working motors and got the same symptoms. I am going to remove the motor to take it apart and inspect gears and brushes. Fortunately I found

Love it!!!

Teun try the mallet Bill suggested. Mine played up in Antigua last year. If someone stands near the solenoids, you will hear them click if they are working. If they are power is going to the motor.

I have two Rutland 1200’s on Amelia and two 275w solar. For the money the solar payback is a no brainer. Money well spent. As for the WG’s. The payback is poor and although the blades are silent

Hi Teun, Your boat is really keeping you busy, not? For your problem I think you have two possibilities. A relative good one and a bad one. The good one is that the relay is not working for

I seem to have a few of those profucts on my boat too, lol 😜 (Sorry just couldn’t help myself John!) cheers Dean

Teun, Furling solenoid is behind the Velcro'd panel just inside the forward watertight door near the ceiling, or behind the Velcro'd panel in the forward port side berth. I don't think this is the

Hi Bill, Correct – furling motor/gearbox. Did loosen as you described below; can furl & unfurl manually - no sail jam. Did NOT rap the gearbox; it is night now; will do tomorrow. Willie

First check the simple things: I assume you are having an issue with the furling motor/gearbox and not the outhaul motor/gearbox. Loosen the 4 bolts on the furling motor/gearbox, lower the unit enough

I have had very good experiences with my Superwind half way up the mizzen mast. It substantially contributes to balancing the power needs on Kincsem on most days without anyone noticing it is there.

Was on my way to TANNA VANUATU and can NOT unfurl the main sail. It will furl but NOT unfurl. The switch in the cockpit is good. Any suggestions? Have returned to NOUMEA as I need to have this

Greetings all, I have a top-of-mizzen Rutland 1200, installed 2018, cost to purchase-and-install ~$2,200-. The running count for the wind-gen since it was last reset 920 hours ago Arriving

.......am sure your right Bill unless you live in the roaring 40’s and do most of your sailing in higher latitudes!! The Rutland wind mill having sailed from the Med to NZ lost its feathers in

Kent, I have to agreewith Bill. We have a wind generator, it came with the boat when we purchased itand then broke. We replaced it with a clone but probably should have saved themoney for

I had an 80A charger from the time I bought Kristy and it was plenty. I’ve added Solar since then and rarely run the charger for more than 45min per day. Still thinking about a wind generator at

Well done. But wait to see the detail before you open the champagne. Danny SS 299 Ocean pearl
