    Hi goboatingnow,
    just read your last year message on engine analogue outputs to NMEA2000 conversion and monitoring.
    I am contemplating to do the same, but find most of the converters rather high priced. You have used one of the less expensive Chinese versions with success, though when reading others experience with the CX5106 there are indeed mixed results where most seemed to fail using the item.


    May I ask which type and manufacturer of MFD you have and which if any "fiddling" you had to do?
    I have a Raymarine Axiom, an Orca Display on a NMEA2k network and a Yanmar 3YM30 engine with only analogue interfaces.

    Thanks for that, that's where I'm at now. Seems to be the most common in these situations.

    Hello goboatingnow,
    We are researching now to go lithium on our boat and I've enjoyed your writings and learned a lot. I just downloaded the e13 and ISO equivalent and would really like to comply. I just can't decide on a complying BMS. I wasn't able to find what you are using for a BMS but would be interested to know what you are running for your lithium system. We have a simple boat with no Victron stuff but have smart regulators on our 140 amp alts and a kw of solar. I'm leaning toward a 600Ah bank on our cat and already run 15 amp DC-DC chargers from house(FLA) to starts. Any advice appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Ron

    Hello goboatingnow,
    I have been fishing around the forum for a while, taking in all the information on various topics. I think your take on batteries and solar are pretty valuable and I'm interested to hear more. I have a Lagoon 440 and am having all sorts of electrical issues, our battery bank (Lead Acid) seems unable to hold charge from any source, limiting our enjoyment of living aboard. I want to get solar and I want to get LFP as house batteries. I am currently in Chios, waiting to hear from a local stainless steel guy about whether he can make an arch for the solar array. Likely plan is that we will need to come closer to the mainland to get everything we need.
    Regards

    thank you so much for your response.
    I not familiar the "TAP procedures" wording, can you send a link to this procedures.
    Reading your respond I grasp that as long as I keep the temporary admission rules I can stay longer than 90 days within 180 period, or even up to 18 months.
    Thanks,
    Daniel

    I was reading the thread on distributed vs central electric and saw your posts about using electronic fuses that are LIN controlled.
    I'm curious to know what models you are using in your switching. As an engineer I'm not afraid of bucking trends when it makes sense for our own boat and potentially improves our lives/experience on board. I have a pretty big electrical system upgrade planned later this year and am putting together my plan now to get components sorted out and ordered. Thanks!

    Hi goboatingnow,
    I have purchased a 42 foot yacht in France and expect receiving it within the coming months.
    I am an Israeli citizen and resident who pay tax in Israel AND hold Portuguese citizenship/passport without any whatsoever business or assets in the EU (been only once in Portugal for a week vacation).
    My goal is to sail within the EU waters for pleasure only under Temporary Admission rules.

    Should I expect getting a demand for VAT on my arrival to an EU country (because I hold Portugal passport?) even though I am an Israeli tax resident.

    Thanks in advance for your replay,
    Daniel

    Thanks for the info on the sat tethering. I will give it a try, though my networking skills are the greatest. I have to sat Inmarsat doesn't make it easy compared to Iridium.

    Hi Dave

    I have edited your permissions so you can change your user title, as I think this is a privilege our 5 star members are supposed to get automatically. That said, don't be annoyed if I then get told it's a supporter thing, and have to undo my good deed... If that happens I'll let you know

    We may disagree most of the time, but sure makes for some good discussions. Fair winds, hope to see you sometime in the Med.
