Hi Joerg, in my opinion there should be no need of adding additional ground, make sure that the connections are clean, no corrosion on any contacts, from tranceiver to tuner to antenna!, and also chec

Hi Amelians, I know that has been already a topic... I need to replace the "flaps" of the AMFA bilge pump (see foto) . Does anyone know a source where I can order these (in Europe)? Does anyone have a

hi all, we changed all the electronics on KALI MERA from B&G to Raymarine. Some months before I renewed the B&G paddlewheel speed sensor, would sell it if someone needs it, is almost new. Just found i
