One other thing to consider if using an older machine that will never be
connected to the internet, is that the earlier versions of older than the most
recent Microsoft operating system will boot much quicker than an older version
loaded down with the most recent updates available. If an

Agreed. Not to mention that for most of us, the computing power of a 2-year old
laptop is more than enough, especially, if you plan to use it with a limited
set of applications. E.g. my weather station runs on an 8-year old laptop and
is doing quite fine.

Type "Brookes" into the search field. That will bring up all the B
transducers. Perhaps you can find the Airmar number for yours and track
down one for under $500.

Hi John,
My 29-2 is rigged for symmetric spinnaker. She has a topping lift, down haul,
and halyard all run aft to the cockpit. Sheet blocks all the way aft attaching
to the back stay mounting plate (transom corner casting). Snatch blocks mounted
mid ship. Sheets run to forward coming
Mine broke in 2? Don't ask me how. It went in in 1 piece and came out in 2.
Anyways B wants $500 for a replacement and I can't see myself spending that
much for sensor replacement. If I can't find one at a reasonable price, I will
seek permission from the admiral to replace my wind, depth and
Marek,
Yeah I was kinda misleading in my native 12v statement. What I meant was
that 12v power supplies are often available. 12v cigarette lighter
adapters that put out 19v for laptops.
Interestingly though, I did notice today on my laptop that the battery is
putting out 12v. It takes 19v
Not all laptops are inherently 12 V (some use as high as 19 V). But it is easy
to check.
Laptops have an extra advantage - they get obsoleted pretty quickly, so you can
get a pretty decent used one for around $250. And you get all the internal
power protection you need.

I would not worry about the monthly updates. Some are important, others not so
much. If you don’t do work on that computer and you use it mainly to run a
single application (and you don’t access Internet!), update Windows to whatever
you like and freeze it like that.
If this is a stick PC, you
You mentioned USB powered, so is the Raspberry PI. In fact that was one of
my biggest concerns. The stability of a usb connector from a 12v boat
supply just started feeling really unreliable. I overcame it with a UPS
addon "HAT" for the PI. That is one nice thing about a laptop or even a
Use a sharp putty knife or other knife to clean up the surface of the block.
You need to be super careful not to let any sort of abrasive particles into the
cylinders. Once the surface is clean, oil it lightly and cover the whole thing
with clean rags until ready for assembly.

It's usable but with headaches of having to update windows. Windows has a
weekly update. And so does the browsing stuff like Mozilla and adobe
products etc etc. If you don't keep up with it, it becomes a nuissance. If
you just keep open cpn that's doable.

Power to which? Laptop or compustick or thinkpad stick?
For my laptop I just searched cigarette lighter adapters. The one I found
uses buck/boost circuitry to create 19v@5amps out of 12v. I dissected the

The one problem I ran into was getting power to it. The ThinkPad Stick 300

Alan,
The original Velcro was very strong, but everything else I’ve tried has not
lasted long. My panels are now all screwed to the overhead. I was tired of
watching them fall off the ceiling when bashing into big waves. The SS screws
are all capped with covers to match the overhead.
Dennis,
Thank you! That is a great suggestion. I have been dealing with Velcro to
attach my mosquito screens to my hatches. This is a much better solution.
Definitely on the list for next Spring.
