Re: Stus-List Right of way (ROW) discussion

The Colregs do not include rowboats, kayaks, canoes and paddleboards in the pecking order, which means they have no specific priority over other vessels. There was a time, when seaplanes were not included either. Seaplanes were obligated to avoid interfering with any other vessel. Swimmers,

Re: Stus-List Right of way (ROW) discussion

The problem in my local area is kayak and SUP rentals, where the renters of the kayaks are completely oblivious to any rules, or their immediate surroundings. I can be motoring in my dinghy in the same direction as a pack of them and they will suddenly, and sharply, veer directly across my bow

Re: Stus-List Battery Posts

My guess/assumption is that any battery cables on a boat that have the old style automotive lead clamps are old cables that may not even be proper marine tinned cables. Lots of wiring on old boats, including C, was not tinned wire and needs to be replaced, even if it hasn't failed... yet.

Re: Stus-List Battery Posts

NO type of adapter or work-around is any more secure, reliable, or ABYC compliant, than a wing nut on a threaded stud. A regular nut tightened by a wrench on a threaded stud is even better. Old school automotive type post and clamp connections have never been terribly reliable, either. I

Re: Stus-List solar power setup...again.

Strongly recommend a Genasun controller. They make a 5 amp model that will fill the bill. Genasun uses all ceramic capacitors which are more reliable, especially in harsh environments. The Genasun is a true MPPT controller and allows charging to continue taking place even in partial shade,

Re: Stus-List Standard Horizon 150 wind instrument - cable needed

Sounds like how my masthead unit slowly died. It became intermittent. Brought it down and it tested fine. Put it back up and it acted up again after a short while. It was just too old. Failure of the wire is possible, but I think less likely. The wire in my mast is inside a narrow conduit. Not

Re: Stus-List Standard Horizon 150 wind instrument - cable needed

A phone call might be better. I called them once for an obsolete part. It was no longer even listed. Talked to someone in tech support who said he thought he had seen one sitting on a shelf, and asked for my mailing address. Got the brand-new old part a week later at no charge. Bill Bina On

Re: Stus-List Solar charge controllers

Copied and pasted from the Maine Sailor review conclusion: *"Best Value In A High Performance MPPT Controller = Genasun GV-10"* I would suggest you call Genasun directly and talk to them about what you need. They are very helpful, and in fact, the founder is a long distance sailor who was

Stus-List Depth transducer troubleshooting

I have a new Raymarine i50 depth display connected to a D800- P17 retractable transducer. Boat was splashed yesterday. The depth display reads LAST and three dashes where the depth should be displayed. Obviously, it is not getting the information from the transducer. Raymarine's technical
