Time zone. I now see that the meeting is at 2100 local time (BST) in the UK rather than 2000. The Eastern Australia local time of 0600 is therefore correct. Apologies for any confusion that my confusi

Hi Tuen, Let me know if you are coming to Sydney and we can have a meet-up. I considered buying your boat in 2017! cheers Dean SY Stella A54-154

Hi David, Yes! I also have this problem. Last year I dropped it all in deep water, and bobbed around for an hour hoping to untwist it, but this year the problem was back. I have galvanised chain and t

Nick, Another +1 in favour of the winter tent. Ours is the original version which came to us when we bought Stella. We had not used it before this year. We fitted it in April for a transit from Greece

I agree with Bill R. If you need the power, that’s a great converter. I installed one to support my engine start battery while using my SSB from 12V. Dean SY Stella A54-154

Hi David, The choice is indeed endless. The structural decisions you make will go a long way to determine the power rating you end up with. Larger heavier panels mean more power, but you need to consi

Hi Thomas, Since your current requirement is negligible you could steal 12V from one of the 12V instruments, but that is a really messy solution in my opinion. Like others, I installed a 24/12 DCDC Co

Paul, i mounted three panels on Stella using a SS structure integrated to the Davits. Very happy with the low visual impact and functionality. The panels also make a great drone landing pad! Pic attac

The picture seems to have dropped off my previous message. Here it is again.

Wolfgang, The picture here shows the configuration I have currently on Stella. The heading data from PG500 is received by the master MFD on data port 3. I have connected port 2 output to the Hydra to

Hi Wolfgang, I noticed exactly the same problem when I bought Stella. I’m pretty sure that my system was configured as original from Amel. (Previous owner did not change anything). I cannot find out r

Hi Tony, The Navnet3D system has a failover action with GPS that I’ve observed, which may be relevant to your problem. Typically there is more than one GPS data source available in a system. In my cas

Thanks Bill, 80W90 it will be. I was intending to use Silicon grease on both the O ring and the lip seals (since they contain rubber). Are you suggesting using some other waterproof grease on the lip

Hi All, Thanks to everyone for the guidance. I found a source for the Dowty/ Bonded Seal washers, and have renewed the O-ring. Could not get the V bolt to align with 1 or 2 Dowty washers, and 3 was to

Hi Olivier, Thank you, I understand more now. The first washer does have remnants of a rubber-ring, I thought that the rubber remnants had just stuck to the first washer due to being pressured against

Hi, I’ve removed the V bolt completely and have drained down the oil. The attached pic shows the whole assembly. Two O-rings and two washers on the shaft. The O-ring at the top of the threaded shaft h

Nick, We are ashore, masts up in Ardrossan. yep it’s a windy place, I lived here for a year when I was a kid. Its averaging 30 gusting 40 knots today. No boatcover this year! Cheers Dean

Right, thanks Bill. There was no washer, just the O Ring seal. I’ll take it up with Amel. Cheers Dean
