Re: Australian Coastguard Questions

Are you in Australia too? Yeah, I'm all on board with that kind of thing. Just wondering at what point do the questions go outside their jurisdiction. Obviously have nothing to hide, but that's not...

Re: Australian Coastguard Questions

Re: Home-made Anchor Kellet

Exactly! We draw 2.4m with a bulb keel. 30knts of wind against 3-4knts of tide made for a very bad situation when keel wrap was involved. Took chunks of cast iron out of the back of the keel and...

Thumbs up Re: Trouble shooting GME AIS issue

Hi Matt,
Typically I don't see the red light no. Mine is actually behind a panel, so I rarely see any lights, but during install and for a few weeks afterwards I would peak and watch. All behaved as...

Re: Anchor light LED bulb Grounding issue
