Re: Bermuda telecommuting / coffee shops?

Thank you for the feedback, everyone




Jim, appreciate the info. Noisy is just fine, the “meetings” are generally informal, just a way to look at some stuff on a screen with people.

Re: Raymarine ST-4000+ diagnostics

Zemurray,

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, I’ve taken the head unit completely apart and it seems physically okay. No sign of water or burned up components.. Same with the tiller arm.

Re: Raymarine ST-4000+ diagnostics

Gord,

yes, that's the manual i've been following - it looks like the motor in the tiller arm passes the tests (movement, resistance, current draw).

Re: Favorite towable spinnaker pole car?

Favorite towable spinnaker pole car?

Hi all,

Re: Danfoss/Isotherm fridge cycling

Richard,

Nice to have you here since you're the authority on these systems :)

Re: Groking the Vesper XB6000 and XB8000 AIS transponders
