Re: I70S TWA/TWS

That is likely the case. --
With all the features & functions in these units, you wouldn't think calculating TWA & TWS would be all that difficult.

Thanks-

I'm just looking at this again...

Re: Vent Screens

I got a bag of bronze wool, ripped off some small pieces & stuck them up the vent holes. The first I tried just fell right out. I'll watch them & see.

BTW - When I went to clear the vent lines,...

Re: I70S TWA/TWS

"when you say water transducer - do you mean depth - or speed - or both"

Water transducer is the DTS800, It's got speed, depth & water temp.
I've also got an ITC-5 converter.

Again, the manual...

I70S TWA/TWS

It appears the Raymarine Forum has gone away, so I'm asking here.

I've got a Raymarine I70S with both air & water transducers. My manual refers to a true wind data display, but I am unable to find...

Re: Vent Screens

I keep forgetting about McMaster-Carr. They seem to have EVERTHING.
Shipping was more than the screens, I found them someplace else.

The bronze wool would be a good idea, but my vents are only...

Re: Vent Screens

Thanks -

I would think cleaning/replacing the vent screens would be a routine maintenance item. It makes no sense to have to replace the entire vent if the screen is damaged or missing. What to...

Vent Screens

Does anybody have a source for the screens for the small round water & fuel vents?
I cand find small window screen patch kits, but they have a much courser weave. Im not sure I could cut them small...

Re: Whisker pole query

I've got a pole similar to the one discussed here. It is definitely not a reaching strut.
It's got a Forespar sticker. It's a 3 section twist-lock pole. It extends to about 15'. The inboard tube is...

Re: Whisker Pole

Yeah, that was my first thought.
Kinda hard to do. I extended it and used a hose try to flush it out. Maybe if I had a swim pool I could soak it in.
I had another with rivets. Was stuck pretty...

Whisker Pole

I've got an old telescopic whisker pole that is difficult to extend and scratches the smaller diameter tube when I extend it. I'm guessing there is some foreign matter in the tube. The pole doesn't...

Whisker pole?

I just bought a used spin pole. The seller also gave me a short stout reaching strut and a telescopic whisker pole.

The whisker pole has a reaching strut type fitting on the outboard end. I've...

New Batteries

It's time for new batteries. The boat is set up with two batteries & the std 1/2/both/off switch. I don't have room to add an additional battery with modifying the battery compartment.

Re: Engine runs 10 minutes then stops

Mine looks a little different. I don't see what I think would be the valve.

Frustrating week- But I do have it running.
I thought I had isolated and ruled out the Racor filter. Apparently not. ...

Re: Engine runs 10 minutes then stops

The only thing I see that looks like it could be a retun line is a rubber hose coming off the #3 injector.

Re: Engine runs 10 minutes then stops

The nylon washer gasket 'washer' is item # 8 on the parts diagram, figure 46. I understand these are problematic. I agree on the other copper washers. I did buy some, but not enough to replace all on...

Re: Engine runs 10 minutes then stops

The filter I'm referring to is the main filter mounted on the engine. When it runs out of fuel the engine stops.
I ruled out the Raycor & the fuel tank when I fed fuel from a can directly to the...

Re: Engine runs 10 minutes then stops

Again, the issue is- after filling the filter bowl & bleeding the line to the HP pump the engine starts & runs for @ 7 min, then stops. The filter bowl will be empty.
I refill the bowl & bleed the...

Thanks, that helps - I'll start chasing AC
