Re: Stus-List Adjustable Genoa Cars, 1994 C&C 37/40+

[Rick Brass via CnC-List]

That has not been my experience with the Garhauer cars on my 38. Moving the car 
forward under load is usually a 1 handed operation – though close hauled with 
the 155 in 15 knots did take 2. The car doesn’t come back past a certain point 
if you leave the control line cleated when you crank the sail in, and then 
release the control line. Though the point where it stops in close to average 
trim point.

 

But if you uncleat the control line as you trim the sail, the car comes back as 
you load up the sheet and you can stop it at the proper trim by simply pulling 
the control line into the cam cleat. (And, of course, once you’ve adjusted the 
trim on STBD, you set the other car while it is not loaded up.)

 

Then again, my Garhauer EZ G2UB cars are ball bearing cars. And the sheet lead 
aft of the genoa car is to a turning block on the toe rail and pretty much 
flush to the deck (and not rising up to the level of the winch.)

As much as I like my robust Garhauer cars, Ted’s observations are spot on.  We 
have to put a winch on fore and aft movement under a heavy load (even with a 
4:1 purchase to go forward).

I had Harken adjustable cars on my C&C 29-2 and now on my C&C 110. They are 
expensive but they work so much better than other adjustable cars that I've 
used on some of my friend's boats. As a direct real world comparison, one of my 
friends who also had a 29-2 had Garhauer make custom genoa cars to fit on his 
existing Merriman tracks. The fit was great but they were extremely difficult 
to adjust under load. When the tension on the control line was released, the 
car would not move aft. Even when there was a considerable wind load on the 
sail which should have been enough to allow it to move on its own. He had to 
pull on a line that was attached to the rear of the car to move it aft. In 
fairness, the Garhauer cars did not have ball bearings like the Harken cars 
have. My present boat is approximately the same size as your boat and the loads 
generated by the genoa are similar too. I have no problem adjusting the lead 
location even when the sail is fully loaded. I would think that if you 
installed a Garhauer car on a boat larger than the 29-2, you may be 
disappointed unless you don't mind unloading the sheet before you make a 
forward adjustment to the car.

[Hoyt, Mike via CnC-List]

If your old cars are Harken then they are not standard track size. Likely 
Harken 32mm track. Garhaurer does not make cars that fit Harken track. Best bet 
is to replace with track from garhauer. I just went through this exercise 
upgrading from Harken 22mm track and Genoa cars to 27mm Harken track and cars. 
Not as painful an exercise as had imagined

Hello all,

I was wondering if you folks might be able to give me some guidance.  I ordered 
adjustable Genoa track cars from Garhauer, and even sent them a photo of the 
track.  When they got here, the cars won't fit - they will not even slide over 
the track.  I sent new photos to Garhauer, and Guido looked at them and 
informed me that not only do they not make adjustable cars that fit, they can't 
even custom make them.

Have you folks obtained adjustable cars, and if so, from where?

Re: Stus-List Networking Some Old Instruments & AIS Receiver

[Tim Rutherford via CnC-List]

Hi Fred,

Thanks for your thoughtful response! I appreciate real-world experience
over reading between the lines of technical literature any day.

The Raymarine literature reads "
*Power must be supplied by either the SeaTalk network OR the SeaTalkng bus;
it must not be powered from both sides. If present, the preferred power
supply method is via a connected autopilot*."

To me this means the source of DC power can be the autopilot, but now I
understand it must be fed through a standard power tee or a converter port.
Please let me know if that's not right.

In any case, I'll plan to extend the SeaTalkNG buss using standard NMEA
2000 hardware for future non-proprietary compatibility and will use either
a power tee or a port on the converter to power the buss.

Your input is appreciated, I will be in touch for a quote once the details
of the BOM are finalized.

The Genoa Tracks on our 1990 C&C 37/40 XL have line adjustable cars and are
made by Harken USA.  It is possible the factory may have installed
different manufacturer's tracks, depending on what the original owner
ordered, but ours are Harken.

At the same time, our Babystay Track and the other short Genoa Tracks with

Stus-List Adjustable Genoa Cars, 1994 C&C 37/40+

[Bruce Whitmore via CnC-List]

Hello all,
I was wondering if you folks might be able to give me some guidance.  I ordered 
adjustable Genoa track cars from Garhauer, and even sent them a photo of the 
track.  When they got here, the cars won't fit - they will not even slide over 
the track.  I sent new photos to Garhauer, and Guido looked at them and 
informed me that not only do they not make adjustable cars that fit, they can't 
even custom make them.
Have you folks obtained adjustable cars, and if so, from where?

Re: Stus-List AIS Improvement

When I upgraded my old Raytheon C80 MFD, I was able to download the new
firmware from their website - no charge.

Alan Bergen
35 Mk III Thirsty

Della Barba, Joe via CnC-List 

I have hit a snag with my project. My CP180 plotter is refusing to take AIS
input on any NMEA port.
The firmware version is from 2008, so I think I'll be sending it back to
S-H for a firmware upgrade. This will cost about $35, which

IMHO is quite reasonable and also a nice contrast to brand R, which tends
to tell you "buy a new one" as the answer to any issue with any old
equipment.
Another issue is not a big deal but just odd, the AIS seems to not be
sending out the GPS per satellite signal quality string. On the computer
and the plotter I can see the position and HDOP just fine, but no
individual satellite signal levels.

On the good news side, the waterproof junction boxes and glands I got from
Amazon are working out well.

The AIS is also connected to OpenCPN and it works fine. The data is definitely 
coming out of the AIS unit. The AIS is a GPS receiver as well and sends AIS and 
GPS data out of the 38.4K port. Usually a GPS will send the satellites in view 
and their signal strength, but the Digital Yacht unit is not doing this. The 
plotter will read 4800 baud data, but the AIS will not send AIS data from that 
port, only GPS. I think S-H needs to update the firmware to fix this issue.

Have you tried connecting the AIS to a PC running OpenCPN or something similar 
to test the AIS box?

Why would the AIS send out GPS sat signals?

Waterproof boxes look nice.

I've got my Daisy2 AIS receiver connected to my onboard PC.  Amazing how many 
boats leave their AIS on all winter!  Must have had 50 targets Sunday, and only 
1 tug was moving.

Re: Stus-List AIS improvement + general rewiring

Have you tried connecting the AIS to a PC running OpenCPN or something
similar to test the AIS box?

Why would the AIS send out GPS sat signals?

Waterproof boxes look nice.

I've got my Daisy2 AIS receiver connected to my onboard PC.  Amazing how
many boats leave their AIS on all winter!  Must have had 50 targets Sunday,
and only 1 tug was moving.

Re: Stus-List AIS improvement + general rewiring

[Della Barba, Joe via CnC-List]

I have hit a snag with my project. My CP180 plotter is refusing to take AIS 
input on any NMEA port.
The firmware version is from 2008, so I think I'll be sending it back to S-H 
for a firmware upgrade. This will cost about $35, which
IMHO is quite reasonable and also a nice contrast to brand R, which tends to 
tell you "buy a new one" as the answer to any issue with any old equipment.
Another issue is not a big deal but just odd, the AIS seems to not be sending 
out the GPS per satellite signal quality string. On the computer and the 
plotter I can see the position and HDOP just fine, but no individual satellite 
signal levels.
On the good news side, the waterproof junction boxes and glands I got from 
Amazon are working out well.
