Re: Webasto blue cool S series 6000btu rattling

Unfortunately it's definitely not a mounting problem, question, do these Hermetically encapsulated compressors have valves in them? As it sounds rhythmic to compressor rpm.

Re: Anchor winch connections & Victron BMV

Sorry with voltage readings, with the engines running the voltage into the switching solenoid is 13.75v, out to the winch from the solenoid is a fluctuating 12.36 to 12.85v, listening to the winch...

Re: Anchor winch connections & Victron BMV

Well I've just done the voltage measurements, 13.65v supply to the solenoid which drops to 11.60v when the winch is activated, all the way through to the winch motor whilst operating is 11.60v, so...

Re: Anchor winch connections & Victron BMV

That's fine, there is nothing on the battery neg besides the shunt so I'll look elsewhere in the system.

Anchor winch connections & Victron BMV

Just a quick question, should the anchor winch negative be connected to the Victron bmv700 or can it be straight to the battery? As the engines are running whilst hauling in the anchor .

Re: Polyflex engine mounts

Thanks, is there any recommendations on the Poly stiffness e.g, the colour, Red, Blue or Yellow and how does it rate to the Yanmar 100 series mount? Only want to do this once.

Re: Ships icon issues

I'm not sure what you mean about compass needs calibrating as opencpn is getting its data from our Furuno GP33, I can only think that for some reason that for me V5.8.4 isn't reading the GPS...

Re: Vesper watchmate 850

It's just that it looks like the anchor is behind us as indicated by the display when I know the anchor is front of us, I've changed all settings to magnetic as far as I can tell.
