Couldn’t that also create the opportunity for Carbon Monoxide to collect in the engine room? (And potentially backflip into the cabin through the (usually dry) drains from the showers and lockers (ass

Thanks Scott/Ryan/JP. Scort, I had seen your post on the bend radius of LMR-400 and why you chose RG8X but thought you had them backwards (I’m sort of dyslexic myself so let it slide). You are absolut

I haven’t used the Raymarine system with AIS but I believe that your AIS already has all the information to show the details on the targets but keeps them hidden to reduce clutter. AIS systems use a s

There are a bunch of issues here and far too many to respond to each email sent individually so I’ll try to put down some basic principles and hopefully all will become clear. VHF band antennas can in

I had a very similar situation to that one time in my house…. I woke up one morning to find that the water in the toilet bowl was steaming! Thankfully, I realized it before splashing myself. It turned

Bill, a fluxgate isn’t a proprietary Raymarine term. It is a relatively simple device consisting of iron cores surrounded by primary and secondary copper windings. It is used to determine the magnetic

Dan, there are lots of people on the internet who make it seem easy and claim a high degree of success with various implementations of LiFePO4 but I urge a high degree of caution. There is a very good

Thanks Scott. I am making copious notes for when I get my own Amel. A side hobby has been following the whole Lithium thing (even outside of sailboats) so your experience is quite apropos! I did look

Fantastic write up Scott. I kept writing down questions and then erasing them as I read further and you answered them. I’d love to see a schematic at one point but I think most of it is pretty self-ev

Bill, speaking as one of those who really, really, wants to own an Amel but doesn’t yet have one, I find those “maintenance issues” posts fascinating and one key way to learn more about the brand and

Sometimes I really wish this forum had a way of indicating a huge thumbs up for a particular post! What a great little nugget of information on the differences between models. I have been trying to co

Hi James. My wife Jen and I are in a similar situation right now. We flew out of Pearson but we were on Azores Airlines. We’re flying back out of Vienna on TAP so no cross linkages at all. Nobody in t

The new forum with its ability to easily embed pictures into your posts as Mark has done to answer Ahmet's excellent question is a vast improvement. It makes it so much easier for everyone to understa

That puts new meaning to the term “Sweet boat!” Brent Cameron, Future SM2K owner

Bill, I had a look at the manuals for the UP6/E and MASS+ and the associated PCS, and it is clear from the pictures of the PCS circuit board that the RJ11 (phone not ethernet) jack is sending digital

Thanks Bill. Having a strong Physics/Calculus background plus being a pilot and then a process control designer when I was still young and smart made it easy for me to understand these things. I did s

Hi Paul. I had a look at the manual of the ACU 400 and you are right in that they have dumbed down the controls a bit to make it easier for the end user. The Response level seems straightforward enoug

Paul, it sounds like your autopilot gain and response settings are off. I’m not familiar with your exact unit but most autopilots have settings for Wind Trim, Rudder Gain, Counter Rudder and Response.

It also appears to me that google can no longer find anything posted on it so our discussions are now private amongst the owners (and the wannabes like me who you’ve let lurk here). That’s a fantastic

Hi Bill, much to my surprise, I was able to get somewhere with just my iPad. I’ve created a form to allow people to indicate their preferences and allow you to track and rank them. I can blow away any
