Re: Air Conditioning

On the 12m sedan access is through a panel in the back of the starboard locker. Picture is of the space during the replacement of ours (picture is turned on it's side for some reason):

Re: Garmin AP install on mid cabin or Hynautic in general?

On our 12m Sedan, we are entirely Garmin, except for the autopilot (still interfaces) since Garmin did not make a pump or control big enough for the boat. We use Simrad for the pump, controller, and autopilot. Garmin can still feed/transfer information via the NMEA 2000 bus.

Re: Trojan International 10 meter mid cabin bow pulpit removal and repair

Our fiberglass guy removed all the coring and made the unit solid glass with some carbon fiber roving in it. Crazy solid now.

Re: 10.8M International Shore Power Question

That still give you 30 amps total. The 1/2 switch is the equivalent of taking the panel from 110volt to 220volt. Our generator puts out 65 amps, so it can handle the load of the whole panel. At the dock we use 2-30 amp circuits which also give us the full capacity of the panel at 60 amps. At a lot o...

Re: inclinometer - correct way to measure running angle?

200 feet of chain and a bigger anchor cured our need for trim tab use. But also hinders your ability to lift the bow a bit higher when dealing with following seas / surfing conditions to reduce chances of stuffing the bow into the back of a wave. Not saying what you did is a bad idea, just trying t...

Re: inclinometer - correct way to measure running angle?

200 feet of chain and a bigger anchor cured our need for trim tab use. Have posted on this subject a couple times before, but I don't think you really need an inclinometer... Bring the boat up to a certain RPM (that is good planing speed), you can play with the tabs to find the best running angle. D...

We use a Mantus Chain Hook to "prevent accidental discharge" of the anchor.

Re: inclinometer - correct way to measure running angle?

To us, running angle depends on seas. Definitely bow high, but we trim for speed. That said, based on how much weight we usually have, I have never touched a trim tab in years.
