Re: Stus-List speed instrument frustration

My 30 year old Signet Marine depth and speed instruments have never failed. They still sell them and they're rock solid. www.signetmarine.com/. I suspect you may have water in your cables that is eventually penetrating the impeller. As to modern the Airmar looks good and is nmea 2000.

Re: Stus-List speed instrument frustration

I had the Signet wind instrument set on Windburn. To get inter-connectivity I switched to Raymarine ST-50 wind. My feeling is the Signet responded faster, was more accurate and would work to a lower wind speed. I called Signet support once, they helped me get a part number for a component and

Re: Stus-List speed instrument frustration

My Nexus Classic knotlog is pushing 15 years. I don't leave it in the boat. Remove it and replace it with the plug if boat is going to sit for more than a few days. I did, however, add stress relief to the cable entering the transducer after the original transducer died after 2-3 years. Nexus

I'm about to deliver a boat that had a max prop installed with the wrong key on the shaft, which caused problems. Andy C 40 Peregrine Andrew Burton 61 W Narragansett Newport, RI USA02840 http://sites.google.com/site/andrewburtonyachtservices/ +401 965-5260 > On Nov 30, 2016, at 16:32,

I purchased La Neige last year. She has a 3 blade max prop folding prop. There was alot of slop/play and I removed it and sent it back to the manufacturer. It was refurbished, then returned to me. The local yard, a Max Prop approved installer assisted in the reinstallation. At the time I thought

Hi, Matthew — welcome back! How long a piece of molding do you need? And is it straight, or on an inside or outside curve? This past summer I salvaged some straight molding (not a lot, but some) from a 38 that suffered hull core damage, and was being stripped and landfilled. This would be

Re: Stus-List Where are we buying solar panels?

Grape solar panels appear to have a good rep with the RV and sailing communities. I just bought a 100 amp panel with solar regulator from Home Depot at a decent price (300 total). So far, it works well and is put together well.  Jack Brennan Former C 25 Shanachie, 1974 Bristol 30 Tierra Verde,

I got a quote from Ferris Hamilton for a 200w system for a soft Bimini mount for about $1500 USD. It included 2 flexible panels, controller, wiring, special pop on attachment buttons, and wiring instructions. This was their "boat show deal". I too have seen these things far less expensive on

Hey all, I'm trying to price out a large solar system and new house battery bank for a 42' cruiser and I'm curious where fellow sailors are buying solar panels, regulators, and batteries these days. Amazon has tons of panels, but in most cases it seems the quality is questionable for marine

I have not been disappointed with my flexible panels that I got off of eBay. I paid ~$150 each for two 100w panels. I cheaped out on the panels but made sure to get quality charge controllers from Genasun. MPPT, 8amp with boost. I got cheap volt/amp/power meters with digital displays for about

For ages I have had a Standard-Horizon SL1 speed log. The instrument eventually died and was replaced. The impellor was always getting gunked up and then died for good. The instrument died again. I got one instrument and two impellors from Fleabay. One impellor died quickly and the other one

My Hurth transmission has a drain, as well. Totally useless. In my stupidity, after having problems to suck out all of the old oil, I decided to use the drain. Opening it is not a big deal (an extra joint in the arm would certainly help). But putting that plug back in requires at least two

Re: Stus-List speed instrument frustration

Joe How often is your boat hauled? Is it like our Northern boats where it is only in the water for 5-6 months a year or year round like our Southern friends? That would have a huge impact on fouling of all impellors IMO Mike Halifax, NS From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com]

Re: Stus-List speed instrument frustration

Mine is from Raymarine and it is removable for cleaning while the boat is in the water. I keep the dummy plug in the thruhull except when I need to use the speed instrument. Takes a couple minutes to swap out, but not a big deal. My old one was a 1986 Standard Horizon that was still working
