Everything good on my end, too; but then I usually don’t have any issues with
emails at all. Mac OS 10.9.5, MacBook Pro 15”, Apple Mail. Maybe that’s why…

I’ve been going through a bunch of gear I’ve got laying around, much of it
marine electrical equipment, and I’m ready to “garage sale” it. If anyone on
the list would like any of it, let me know OFF-LIST; if more than one person is
interested, I’ll put people in order based on the time and
That won’t work on the frameless windows; only the aluminum-framed ones on the
earlier boats.

At least when I was working with them, Karen Jerry of Good Old Boat had a
30mkI, as well as a Mega that they wanted to trailer around. And Michael
Facius on this list, who is the publisher, also had a 30mkI.

I hope this is something that will filter “up” from fishing boats to our boats…

Dwight — if I might jump in here, my understanding is that the glued-in acrylic
ports became a unified part of the cabintop structure, and stiffened the
structure; NOT that they made the boat stiffer in terms of sailing
characteristics.

Brent — the few times I’ve crossed the Gulf Stream to/from Bimini and the
Bahamas, we motor-sailed. Partly because the winds were light or right on the
nose (going over); and partly because you DO NOT want to be stuck drifting
around in the middle of the Gulf Stream if the weather turns.

The charter company from whom we rented the Tartan 37 we used for our trips
required a night crossing to Bimini (arriving in the morning) because of the
weird dog-leg entrance there, and the desire to see what the heck we were going
to run into in the daylight… :^) So we went out for a nice
Edd — it’s best with this kind of setup to have ALL the charging sources go to
the larger house bank, then use the combiner or EchoCharge to keep the start
battery topped off.

Edd — the EchoCharge (or a Combiner) will allow current to pass to the start
battery any time there’s charge current available. In the case of the
EchoCharge, it will limit it to a certain number of amps, from the total
available; in the case of a combiner, it basically makes the house bank
Edd you ABSOLUTELY need a fuse or breaker on the alternator output; the size of
the over-current protection will depend on the size of the wire, which will in
turn depend on the alternator output.
And the over-current protection needs to be within seven inches of where the
alternator output
Steve — Navico acquired all of those brands (BG, Simrad and Lowrance) a few
years back, so they share much of the same hardware. Lowrance is the low-cost
brand of the range; much of their gear plays well with the other brands.
Simrad is the “cruiser” stuff, BG the “racer” stuff, and Navico
Same here: an ancient Yanmar 3QM 30hp diesel drives Oceanis just fine.

That might work; but butyl’s NOT an adhesive, so you would definitely need the
