You are correct, thanks for catching that. I now see I neglected to select the 30A version when comparing the prices.:facepalm:

I strongly recommend you check the price of that IP22 at Hodges Marine. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. I've purchased the electronics suites and other equipment for my last two boats from them. They have consistently had the best prices and customer service in all my dealings with...

My previous Fales 30 Boomarang (Willard 30 clone) was powered by a fresh 56hp Yanmar with a well-tuned and matched 3-blade prop. Lightly loaded with a clean bottom it was capable of 7.2 knots. This was observed over a timed, 2-way measured nautical mile and was repeatable. The bow rise was...

Both of the systems were installed in my former boat Boomarang, a Fales 30 Caribe (like a Willard 30) trawler, which is definitely a 6-7 knot boat. Simrad AP21, AP22, JX300, FU50, RFC35, RF300, RPU080 - Robnet/NMEA0183-based Autopilot. The standard RFC35 Compass was upgraded to the optional...

Absolutely. Even upgrading from standard fluxgates to rate compasses on two previous Simrad systems made an enormous difference in accuracy, response and usability. Honestly, no comparison.

Same here.

Looks like SeaStar (Morse) Twin SR Control P/N CH5400P. These use a SeaStar CA69060P Stainless Steel Replacement Control Handle which fit both SLT & SR Twin controls. Search Google or Ebay for that part number and you will find they are readily available.

Back in the 70's I attended the Paris Auto Show with a friend who was an area rep for Robert Bosch Corp. Nick was Dutch and had a heavy accent and a booming voice. As we passed through the vendor area, Nick recognized his counterpart rep in the Lucas booth, so we stopped to talk. The Lucas...

This link to their price list is on their ORDER page.

Please take a closer look at this image. It is a Simrad AC20 with some of the green plugs removed. You can clearly see these plug into corresponding sockets on the circuit board. All of the green or black plugs are removable if desired for wiring. The grey power terminal block is fixed. In...

Also, look carefully at the terminal blocks you are inserting your wires into. In some brands (Robertson/Simrad) these are actually removable plugs that can be pulled out of the circuit board which can make the job of attaching the wires much easier.

First time I heard the term Wog was aboard a US Navy ship during a Line-Crossing ceremony while crossing the equator. It observes a mariner's transformation from slimy Pollywog or Wog, a seaman who hasn't crossed the equator, to trusty Shellback, also called a Son or Daughter of Neptune. It was...

Here are a couple of excerpts from the "Cummins Marine Recreational High Output Propulsion Units B and C Series Installation Directions" and Fig. 59, Typical Dual Engine Positive Side Battery Setup from the same manual. "To crank the engine fast enough to insure reliable start, correctly sized...

That was my choice too, both mains and generator. Easy to read and reset.:thumb:

Bill wakes up at home with a huge hangover. He forces himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins and a glass of water on the side table. He sits down and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed. Bill looks around the room and sees that it is in...

I think you will find many on this forum use Blackstone Laboratories for kits and oil analysis. I personally use them for air, land and sea!:thumb:

Here's the link at Boat Leather for the style you are looking for. Just choose the color and size to see the ordering options.

Try Megafend in Fort Lauderdale or Boatleather in Seattle.

Same here, big fan.:thumb: Over a year ago I installed one in main cabin bilge and another in the engine room bilge. They run about ~5 minutes at noon and the bilges stay bone dry. I also routed the AC and dehumidifier pan drains to the shower sump which really helped in the cabin. No more...
