  1. I just use it on my pixel 7 or Samsung activ tab3. As long as they are close to me either are bright enough.
  2. Orca navigation app is simple and super easy to use. The charts look great. Syncs with all the devices you load it on. You can use it free in cell or WiFi range. For maps offshore and away from city verge there is a annual subscription. Bit worth it in my opinion. They sell some add on hardware which has some really useful features and makes the system very accurate with it's heading sensor. Works fine without.
  3. How do you clean it and how frequently? Also, knowing what you know now, would you still have made this change?
  4. True, but one millions of people watch every weekend, because it is seen as the pinnacle of motorcycle road racing and the other very rarely seen.
  5. I recently posted that I was looking for a second hand Yanmar SD60 sail drive and I received a few comments for and against. So I was a little bit intrigued as to why some are fore a sail drive and some prefer a shaft drive. I've had both, so far my opinion is a bit cloudy because I am replacing a sail drive but I can definitely see the pros of the sail drive system. If you have had both types, I would be interested why you prefer one over the other, and obviously the sail drive system is newer and there is always reluctance in boating to accept new systems.
  6. I crumbled and purchased a new one and to be fair, it was more reasonably priced that I expected. However, I'm interested in the pros and cons discussion that has started in this post.

  8. As the title says, I'm looking for a replacement Yanmar SD60 saildrive. I'm hoping someone knows where one is for sale as I am dreading what the cost of a new replacement is. Any help or leads appreciated!

  11. I have JL audio speakers, outside in full weather exposure for years. No issues at all and they sound good. They are most definitely a higher end speaker than fusions, they sound a lot better again being driven by a amp.
  12. Or the battery you are using is in very poor health.
  13. How often are you getting the diver to clean the hull?

    Orca Core 2

    Some friends have the Orca core and they really rate it and from what I've seen it's really intuitive and has a nice look. I'm not sure about your use case for it,
  17. Does the balmar voltage sense run on a separate wire all the way to the battery. If not run one. Then custom set your absorption voltage to 13.9v, float 13.35v. Your alternator needs to have a temperature sensor attached to the alternator.You won't over charge with this profile and you will get 99% charged. You don't need a current sensor to fully charge a battery on a alternator as the field current is reduced as the alternator finds it easier hold target voltage. This is called charge acceptance. If your battery monitor is a victon, I would use the inbuilt relay to turn the alternator

    Yanmar waterpump.

    Have a look on parts4engines.com whole new raw water pumps are very very reasonable from them.
  19. It's not that difficult or vastly expensive to spec an engine with big alternators. The picture below is of a recent install of mine with a lithium bank being happily and safety charged at 5.8kw off a 110hp engine with 2x large frame alternators. The Alternator setup including electronics and my time was just over $1 a watt. This was excluding a mount bracket that needed to be made. Totally agree with Islandtime about the comparison with lead carbon, and ill add that lead carbon have pretty bad voltage sag under high load draw in my experience.
  20. It might be helpful to let us know where the boat is?
  21. Active ingredient in wet and forget is benzalkonium chloride, also found in the cheapest disinfectant in pak n save at a similar concentration minus the surfactants.
  22. They rented a small flat in whangarei for a while, and believe they were fixing the boat. But I'm not sure what happened in the end.
  23. This website is pretty sharp for pricing. https://www.parts4engines.com/volvo-penta-d2-40-stainless-steel-exhaust-outlet-kit/
