Hi Ryan, That's an unusual orientation for a G4 mount, and although my fixtures look similar to yours on the outside, the internal details are different. You might try these bulbs... they plug in

Hi Ryan, I can tell you that I have different fixtures in my 1990 SM. They are all festoon fittings. John Clark SV Annie SM 37 Cruising Pamlico Sound

Good day ! Suggest you contact Myles marine, he carries most spares you need for any B&G unit. I have had to replace the electric board inside the head unit also the cup unit when the UV destroyed the

We found that ours was not working when we had her surveyed. There were two issues: 1. The bearings were seized in the anemometer 2. The main connection was corroded and cracked. Picture attached.

Maybe I'm just missing something, but the offerings on that site look the same as the others I've found, which is to say none will fit my boat. All of the "side pin" G4 bulbs have the pins in the

Alexandre, We have had that problem twice. In both cases the problem was mechanical, not electrical. If the wind cups are turning and you are not seeing any reported speed, then your problem is

Alexandre, Are the littlecups turning at the top of the mast? If not, you will need to replace thebearings up there. I had a similarissue once. The cups were turning and the display read

While I was writing that last post I had to stop and convince myself that a course optimized to a point dead upwind would be the same as a course optimized to a point that was, say 25 degrees off the

The Anemometer stop working… Wind speed was showing 0 during the last trip Has anyone experienced this? What was the issue and solution? Thanks in advance Sincerely, Alexandre SM2K #289

Miles The ballooner setup is quite unique to AMEL boats. The sail is similar to a cruising chute, the same dimensions as the genoa, but goes up a second luff groove on the genoa furled. It is hoisted

Hi Ryan, Try boatlamps.co.uk… their site has piccies of every LED fixture known. Good luck. Jean-Pierre Germain, SY Eleuthera, SM 007

Thanks greatketch! Could anyone point me to info about how to set up this downwind ballooned rig? Does it fly on a removable forestay? In a dyneema luff rope ? Something else ? I've never heard of a

Hi all, I'm in the process of converting all the interior lights on my SM to LED. It was easy to find BA15d LED bulbs for the wall lights, so that's taken care of (though I did break one since the

Bill, Thanks for the detailed explanation. My only remaining question is if under "W", the autopilot is trying to optimize VMG to an Apparent Wind Angle AWA of zero, or is it trying to optimize to a

It definitely works in W(ind) mode. What it is doing is finding the wind angle that will make the boat reach an imaginary waypoint directly to windward, as fast as possible. The VMG it is optimizing

Yes I was using the spare halyard to dry the spinnaker, they do come down quickly, very glad it did not go overboard as we were motoring at the time.

some clues (thanks to servicing masts on Maramu 1982) concerning halyard stuck inside the mast halyards are running Inside mast independently from cables (electric, signal); cables are run through pvc
