Re: How long to run electric head?

How long is the hose between the head and holding tank, and what volume of water does your head pump?

Re: Used motor oil discard

Re: Calypso Ultrasonic Wind

I’ve not touched the anemometer for a year, and no longer have the NCP receivers as one didn’t work and the other had an effective range of less than 1m. So I’ve got no idea if there are any bugs...

Re: fresh watery electric toilet smell problem

Is the smell of black water internal to the boat or external?

How old are the hoses, and what type of hoses are they?

Is the discharge routed to a tank? If so, is the tank well sealed?

Re: Radar or AIS to kick me in the butt when in a stupor?

In large ish seas the radar can and will miss smaller targets. Although I have noticed they’re not missed on every sweep. They may only show up for one out of ten sweeps, but that’s enough to set a...
