Going to attempt to remove my engine with the use of a chainblock and the boom.. with the boat in the water. Swing the boom out over the side and lower onto finger. Any advice on what/what not to do? Engine is about 140kg.. I think that included the gearbox.

I have an epever and I like it. Performs pretty good. and has a good remote display or pc connection - see my other thread

well this is what i set out to proove ????

yes.. power consumption of the Pi and modem is high.. but I have the shore power most of the time to cover this. Maybe one day I'll try dumb it down to lower the power usage. As for the SIM.. 2degrees (and some others probably) let you share data among (up to 5) SIMs... I already pay for a sim for a mobile wifi stick thing when I'm travelling,so it costs no extra to share it with the boat

Epever MPPT solar controller, RS485 connection from that to an onboard raspberry pi, which polls the data and logs it to a database. 4G router to access it all. Software is Grafana to make the graphs Node-Red to poll the solar controller and push to database InfluxDB for storing timestamps and values. been fiddling with this for a while now. Today I've got it updated to show total AH in per day.

If anyone is interested - this is a snapshot of todays solar stats off my boat https://snapshot.raintank.io/dashboard/snapshot/3JWvtkbPiCymT3Zl4rl7CLL5GIgtEY2M Work in progress. The snapshot shows a measurement every minute, but I'm currently every 15seconds.

you mean like a simple bit of paper I put on my dash? Its not broken, leave it well alone!

It was a while ago since I did this, but I seem to remember that you could turn specific ones off, but that you could only choose from the list, and they didnt include the older version of wind sentence. I think they were all enabled by default.
-
Caveat with this - I tried on the ST2000, but the Zeus 0183 uses a different (incompatible) 0183 sentence for wind data to the raymarine gear, and so althought they both talked 0183, I could not get the AP to steer to wind without some kind of additional conversion.

I'm looking for someone with a Cat 30-50ft to take me sailing (not racing) for a day or two. I have experience on monos, but bugger all in a cat.. I've signed on to skipper a charter in Europe later this year in a Cat and need to do a bit of sailing and manoeuvring under power beforehand. Happy to pay my way... anyone got any suggestions?
-
Long shot, but anyone heading to Tapakanga this weekend?
