Re: Multihulls that don't slam

Our Leopard 46 has a high tunnel and for years I never heard any slamming. Like the guy who claims his Lagoon doesn't slam, I would have made the same claim. Then while sailing in 36+K winds from the...

Complete Navionics systems, What to do in 2010?

I use the same method on my current boat, with the exception that I run Coastal Explorer (Rose Point Navigation Systems (https://rosepointnav.com/default.htm)) on my computer. But NMEA is a geriatric...

Complete Navionics systems, What to do in 2010?

I am working on this issue also. The question I have for you is what bus technology is your old autopilot using? It may be reliable, great, "you love it," it's free, etc, but can it be integrated...

LOL, good for you! Try the Leopard 46. We bring aboard people who tremble at the mention of real sailing and they love it. The layout and height off the water, etc.

Ok, now that's an intriguing statement. What did you find that had a better layout than the Leopard 46? I would be interested to know what you were specifically looking for.

It is difficult to read your post, and not believe it is leveled at Leopards, but I will take your word for it (shirt on, or off). So let's review the issue.

A little too over-zealous?

You know I thought your post was great. As a Leopard owner and a Moorings owner I was immediately curious. I never imagined a Leopard sinking. So I posted to the other Moorings Owners. What came back...

Permanence of Marking

Interesting comment HUD. Can the marking be painted on? I have seen the plaques they sell, but paint would seem to be fine to me.

Your question sunk in. You are right, the Raymarine GPS and the ST60s and such are either Seatlak or Seatalk II as is the autopilot. Maybe that output is open. Now the question of how to get to...

I agree with you. In my system, the NMEA port is tied to the ST60s and the GPS. If it was not used I would not have needed the 85001. Sadly, coming back from the BVI last week, Delta lost my bag with...

Talking NO mux if Seatalk II present

Ok, my thought is this, the E85001 is a bridge. NMEA in and out on the PC side and Seatalk on the host side (if I remember correctly). In my system my E80 is sending all of the higher data rate data...

Raymarine to Nav software via NMEA

In order to do this, you have to have an E85001 installed I thought. Without an NMEA direct interface, Scotte is simply doing sneaker net. Good idea for a charter boat actually!

That is a lot of work for a small issue. The mechanic is wrong. The issue is that varnish settles out in the jets and metering orifices from the poorly refined gasoline. I recommend Stabil Marine...
