I've had both but when the WG needed replacement due to age I decided to ditch it completely because: Output very low compared to solar Doesn't work well sailing down wind Can be noisy and vibrate Requires maintenance The biggest argument for a WG over Solar is that solar doesn't work at night...

I don't know about yours, but my mast doesn't transmit 😁 If you're thinking about shielding, I guess it depends on the mounting arm length more than the radial direction of antenna to mast.

If it's anything like my SL Seawolf (up only) it has what looks like a bearing near the motor but is a one-way locking clutch. See item 32 here: http://montymariner.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/Odds&Ends/S-L-Seawolf-Windlass.pdf

If you can't get horizontal separation, mount the AIS stubby upsidedown to give it vertical separation.

How about ' T'was on ' ? You will have to work it out!

Sail solo so saloon on passage so I can hear any alarms and poke my head up for the occasional look round, check sails and do a long range scan on the instruments. At anchor, aft cabin on a lateral double I sleep like a log.

Drill and Multi tool 😑

As #2. I would isolate then strap a 12v light bulb across the output.

Have you looked into the possibility that just one of the batteries is dragging the bank down? I would run on one battery at a time and see how they perform.

I would use a short length of plastic tube / conduit that the connection will slide into, then squeeze sealant into both ends. The 'Monogel' would be good but it's an expensive solution for a small one time job.

The system is a bit silly as the UK don't require us to hold a 'Boating Licenses' and an ICC issue in UK doesn't 'include coastal navigation'.

Out of interest, on a steel tank and difficult to achieve, but would a steam clean do the job?

Ah! With the current trend for people to be asked "how do you identify " that will be my tag line -Monty, the distressed mariner! 😂

Have you tried downloading it to the W10 LT then copying it across to the W11 LT?

Last year I emailed a 1331 on departure. On return I had heard about the online link and tried to use but it wouldn't accept it as I hadn't booked out online. I phoned the Southampton(?) office, it was 3AM , and the duty guy sorted it for me. He was very helpful and I was extremely grateful.
