Stus-List Octopus on a Landfall 38

Has anyone installed an Octopus linear drive on a Landfall 38? If so, obtaining info on which model and how it was installed would be great. As been discussed, the space for mounting a below deck autopilot drive on a Landfall 38 is extremely limited. Successful below deck autopilot drive

Kevin, My battery box has a fairly large hole going into the engine compartment as well. It appears to be original. The engine compartment is ventilated, although not as well as I would hope. Better to vent into the engine compartment than into the cabin. My batteries are under the

Consider a Simrad RS-35. it is reasonably priced compared to the competitors, has: NMEA2000 AIS WIRELESS MIKE It's plug and play for under $350. No wires to pull. The sound quality is far superior to I-com and it's cheaper than Standard Horizon. I love mine. Gary S/V Kaylarah '90 C 37+ East

FWIW, I upgrade Touche's VHF with each significant upgrade in features or technology. When I bought the boat in 1999, one of the first upgrades was a new VHF. When RAM mikes came out, I upgraded again. When VHF's with AIS came out, I upgraded again. I sold all the old radios on eBay or to other

13.5 volts at the source well above minimum operating voltage.  Not knowing the radio however, it probably has the ability to interface with all sorts of things so it is more than just a radio. You may be have inadvertently set a voltage warning on the unit.Try scrolling through the menu?  Mark

The power cord is not even tinned, so corrosion inside is highly likely. I may open it up, but I'll likely be looking for a new radio at the boat show. I'd like to wait until there is one with an AIS transceiver. Joel On Tuesday, September 6, 2016, svpegasu...@gmail.com via CnC-List <
