in the tropics we always use this "tool" in the night. Low noise computer fans with moskito nets that fit into the small window from the aft cabin to the cockpit (or in the bathroom or kitchen). Consu

Woody, you are absolutely right, your Axiom has no NMEA Input, this is a feature of the Pro Series. So no workaround, would not buy another device for that. sorry for the wrong advise. the RM700 is a

Some more info, and this will answer Rinks question regarding power supply (and I agree, if you look at the installation diagram power suppy seems to miss, but does not :-) ) The old S3 course compute

Hi Rink and Woody, why do I recommend to search the problem at the AIS connection side? 1.) I am an electrical engineer and raymarine dealer and would confirm that Woodys RM installation-plan is ok. N

one more cause for the problem: * defect NMEA2000 cable or connector could also cause the problem (at the AIS). would be the cheapest solution :-) If the NMEA2000 output of the AIS is defect you might

Woody, if the problem still occurs when the AIS is not pewered up or power cables are removed I am sure that there is a hardware problem in the NMEA2000 unit of the AIS (the AIS will work fine, but as

Hi Woody, your setup seems to be fine. The NMEA200 (SeaTalkNG) network is powerd via the yellow connector from the autopilot controller. The behaviour that you describe points to a problem in your AIS

Sabine, you can send me a message at Herbert-at-lackner.at, can give you a call to share my experience with Santorin engine alignment SN120 KALI MERA, still mazatlan, heading for sea of cortez next we

Hi Eric, we use a 3D Tender 270 Hypalon Ultra Light (39kg). It fits perfect on the aft cabin top fully inflated, and we are very happy with the decision. During passages the dinghi on the aft cabine m

Danny, the Setup on the SN is a different than the SM. No disk brake, but the big pulley for the shaft alternator. I had to realign the engine to get rid of the vibrations and found no other way than

Hi Ruedi, heating, spraying, puller, nothing worked. I remember it took 5 hours using a heavy hammer and a piece of wood: tapping, hammering, then brute force ... fair winds, herbert SN 120 KALI MERA

Hi Adam, the "bonding" at the rudder that connects the zincs with all pieces of metal that have contact with salt water is to protect these metals (avoiding galvanic problems). It is not to be used as

KALI MERA is from 1995 and still has the original headliner, no signs of getting loose. Does the new material look different? Can anyone post a picture from the old / new material? fair winds, herbert

Bernd, the SN tank (I assume that SN119 is exact the same as SN120) has about 5l fuel (or a cocktail of fuel and water...) at the bottom of the tank that will stay there if you run it empty. I know it

Woody, search for "alignment" in the forum and you will find a lot of information, also what kind of mounts you need a summary with info from Olivier: in order to re-align your engine with the C-drive

attached you find the fotos of the alignment tool with the shaft alternator. it works, - but if I would build the tool again I would make it longer. fair winds, herbert

Woody, having the Amel shaft alternator you should make the "alignment tool" longer as you have to take away the shaft alternator pulley for doing the alignment. It works if you have the tool accordin

Hi Joerg, you have the best equipment available installed. all parts are first class. Of course you can check it with an SWR meter, but I am not sure if that will help you identifying the problem. You

Hi Volker, Amel uses now SAE90, 15/40 is also ok, but no ATF! ATF is used for the gearbox, not for the drive. herbert, SN120

Alan, good video! thx. SSB installation and troubleshooting is sometimes tricky. I made my engineer's degree in electronics and telecommunication and are an active HAM radio user since many years, but
