Ah see the head is on the network bus, you must have the newer head, twin wind vanes. Will think a little further, wonder what you can see across the PC port !

The masthead unit will have failed most likely. The new network units which you have just sit on the bus sending info direct to all displays. The reason you are getting true wind speed is its calculated off boatspeed so its taking that as a speed seen as the windgear is not inputting Check connections but normally its just a dead unit they are around $500 to replace Cheers

I like charts rolled up rather than flat. They curl over the saloon table nicely when rolled inside out. I used to get charts from the Map Shop in Hamilton and he had plastic sleeves to fit, however he doesn't supply sleeves now and has gone to light plastic laminating instead. I said to him thats no good I am traditional enough to want to keep using pencil and rubber , he said use felt, no way am I using felt or white board marker. Lost a sale there. Went looking for sleeves and finished up buying a whole roll of a manufacturer, 2 kms long !! 80mm diameter so if anyone wants any let me know

Talking a dead man into something seems a bit futile. I have a merc 2 stroke 15. It’s heavy enough to lug around the boat, and I’m not really a fan of putting it on the pushpit bracket because of the weight of it. yammy short shaft 15hp 2 stroke, 36kg yammy short shaft 15hp 4 stroke 50(!!!!!)kg To me the question is how will you store it, how often will you take it off the dinghy, how often will you need to lift it. If you can work with the weight of 4-st, then yeah sure, go for it.

We recently change companies and broker. Now with Ando 25% cheaper than our previous insurer. Brent Mullan is our broker - brent.mullan@apexmarine.co.nz

Baileys brokers have looked after my boat insurance for nearly 20 years and have always found a way. Agree best approach is call them directly.
