I have refurbished one of these many years ago, and instructions are on the web - in colour! ST50-Wind-Transducer-Repair.pdf Cricalix.Net https://www.cricalix.net › uploads › 2021/07 › S... PDF 4 Jun 2018 — Rebuild Procedure for a RayMarine (Autohelm) ST-50/Early ST-60 Wind Transducer. Author: Richard Stidger, June 4, 2018 ... sensors for the ST-50 ... 9 pages the mini bearings are the same as used in some fishing reels, and I got mine from a supplier in Onewa road,if he is still there. Slanty, I have a copy for you when you pick it up.

Thanks - slanty, it's yours

Raymarine, and the plug is male- 5pin. I think off a RAymarine i50 system

I have a wind transducer and with spare vanes as seen in photo. It spins OK, but I think it still needs a set of new bearings. There's apparently a set of instructions on the web, for refurbishing,and the mini bearings can be obtained. I've sold the boat I was keeping these for so no further use. Make me an offer and its yours.

Just downsized to a new boat to potter around on, and it came with a Pelagic autohelm - a type I had never come across before. It works OK, but seems at tad overpowered for a little 28 footer. It does have a remote etc, but I don't know anything about 'em. Thought I might sell it and get a lighter unit, but it may actually be something quite good. Anyone got any comments positive and negative about these systems please?

GOLD!

Yes, I'm sure that somewhere this has all been worked out before - but... I have a small GPS in working order, but I'm getting old [ sob!] and I need a bigger screen. Any recommendations for the best android tablet to use with navionics? - and - since I hate re-inventing the wheel- what's the best way of mounting it?

Quite correct, AA is the agent. But then we'd have three authorities, all with their beaurocrats, and all the expenses. Just treat vessels as vehicles.

There is an easy answer to the registration problem, which avoid the incredible expense of setting up a new authority with all its staffing etc. The AA already register thousands of vehicles. Just add boat registration to the AA, minimal setup cost, just a design of one new form, and we're done. Auckland Council of course, are thick, with their registration of jetskis. They wanted that as mentioned above to have the details of the owners in case of misbehaviour, loss etc. Why, oh why, did Auckland Council simple not say "register your jetski by getting a VHF callsign". The same infor

Little snag to batteries shorting out in sea water. I'm pretty sure from my chemistry that the following occurs: Sea water contains salt ie chloride ions. They take up electrons for the battery and form Chlorine gas - very toxic. Not nice to be in an enclosed space with.

MMMM.. what are we actually talking about here - apart from supporting the electronics industry to the tune of 1000s. Speed of vessel using wind angle, cheek sensors, and telltales = 6.2kts Speed of vessel using all the above gear = 6.5 kts?? I guess it's great for the racers, but otherwise it would probable be more than my Lotus is worth. Now - if someone could come up with a device to produce the most comfortable sailing angle....

thanks all, your info much appreciated.

Help/info please. I've come across a well loved Easterly 30. I've sold my boat and I am looking for a boat in which I can potter around the gulf from Kawau to Coromandel in my advancing years [ not going to say how advanced!] How do they sail, say compared to boats of similar size eg Lotus 9.2; Davidson 28 etc. All info gratefully received. cheers

Looking to find one which has been looked after, downsizing for pottering about

I don't know if they are all built the same, but on my Lotus 9.2 there are three pintles and gudgeons connecting the skeg to the rudder blade. To remove the rudder blade and get at the bearings, you actually remove the each piece of wood on the rudder blade just above the supports. It's about 50mm high, and is usually screwed or glued in there as a separate piece. Once you have removed them, the rudder can be lifted off the pintles.
