Re: Washdown pump quick connects leaking

I'm constantly running into this with the Jabsco pumps. I'm going to try out Marco pumps instead. They're pricy so I'll let you know how they do, but at least they have screw fittings instead of...

Re: Jabsco alternatives?

Thank you for this. Like OP I'm so tired of Jabsco's janky connectors I'm going to give one of these a go asap.

Re: New England Novice

When I look on Google Earth, there seems to be a sort of beach South of the city dinghy dock in Nantucket by Sayle's. Do you know if this is accessible? The $6 pp per trip at the city dock is going...

Re: Voltage Drop

SOLVED:
This ended up being a settings issue on the charger. I purchased a new charge control unit with a lithium setting and the issue disappeared. Thank you all for your help.

Re: Voltage Drop

LiFePO4, yes.
Less than a year.
It's under load, but not much... maybe 5 amps. It's just the regular house stuff doing it's regular house stuff.

I've not hooked up the system with a single...

Voltage Drop

Hello everyone,

I'm having an issue with voltage drop at a high % of battery left. I'll get fine voltage at the top end, but when it hits about 75% capacity, I'll be down under 12v. The...

Re: Looking for Garmin Ais 600 Setup Software

I have the software, but I cannot seem to get the AIS to be recognized by either of two WIN 10 computers. When I first hooked it up, it connected for about 60 seconds and then disconnected and won't...

A curious crossover

Hello.

I theoretically have two separate power systems running through the boat. One system powers the HVAC and the high-pressure pump for the watermaker and is theoretically independent of the...

Re: Whaly 270 Won't Plane

Just an update on this. (for other Whaly woes)

I've gone to a Yamaha 15hp 2 stroke. Added wings. Adjusted the angle. All of that, so far still results in not planing with 2 people.

The...

CruiseRO SM30

Hey gang,

I'm in rather desperate need of the Cruise RO SM30 installation manual from prior to 2017. I emailed Rich about it already and he responded promptly as he always does, but the link was...

Re: Whaly 270 Won't Plane

Yeah, I was able to get it up on a plane singled yesterday with the 15 hp. I am going to go ahead and buy the 15 I found and put wings on it. I'll see what happens with that.

Re: Whaly 270 Won't Plane

Thanks! I had the wife sitting on the bow when I was trying to plane it doubled; I'll have her move back some and give it a shot.

Re: Whaly 270 Won't Plane

Yeah. I really wanted the hard dinghy as I got tired of patching punctures in my inflatables. The 310 was a bit too heavy for my davits I think. (Although I haven't actually found any one who can...

Re: Whaly 270 Won't Plane

I only just found out that tilt angle is a thing I should investigate. I tried adjusting the tilt with the 15 without the hydrofoils, I'm going to try it with my foiled 9.9 tonight when I get home. ...

Whaly 270 Won't Plane

Hoping for some idea/suggestions here. I have a Whaly 270. It's rated to 10hp and I currently have a Mercury 9.9 fourstroke on it. It won't plane. I borrowed a friend's Yamaha 15 2 stroke. Still...

Re: Can't get the main to the top.

Hello again everyone.

As expected, there were several problems. The biggest issue was the twist in the halyard. To fix this (on advice from my new neighbor the sailing instructor) I took the...

Re: Can't get the main to the top.

My plan for tomorrow was to try to send up the head car by itself. I thought there was a lot of twist in the halyard but not sure what to make of that. It twists as it goes up and the twist comes...

Re: Can't get the main to the top.

I'm on a lagoon 410. That's how it was when I got it. As I said somewhere in here before, I can lift it without a winch until over half way, then it gets harder until it gets just impossible about...

Re: Can't get the main to the top.

Okay, I pulled the sail off and raised the halyard with just a line on the other end to pull it back down. I could get the sheet all the way to the top but it twisted probably 5 rotations on the way...

Re: Windlass stopped running

For anyone interested in how this resolved, turned out the windlass wiring went the opposite way I thought it did. It made a u-turn just out of sight and went to the port hull instead of the...

Re: Starlink Beta Users HELP

Following this thread.

I have seen the user dishes. I wonder if you could set up a gimbal system for it to help keep it stable and maintain connection. I wish I'd been selected for beta.

Re: Deck discoloration and Teak Cleaner

Thanks! I'll give it a go with a test section and see if it compares well enough. I was worried about the porosity issue.
