    Trusty 23

    I think No 40 was either last at Kidderminster or finished at Windboats. Mine was No 38 and one of the last from Kidderminster. ALB

    Nasa BM1 and Solar controller don't agree.

    My guess is that the PWM (Pulse width modulator) is producing pulses of current that the ammeter on the controller is smoothing to get a DC value. The ammeter on the BM1 is not capable of dealing with the pulses and is therefore giving a lower reading. The volts are being measured from the...

    PWM creates ac like current. BM 1 designed to measure DC only?

    Trusty Motor Boats

    I believe the Creditors meeting for Trusty Motor Boats was held on Tuesday. Was there any positive news for those people with boats in build? I am sure we all hope so. Were there any lessons to be learned for people ordering boats in the future from any other boat builder?

    Trusty Motor Boats

    As someone who took delivery of a new Trusty 23 in March I have been trying to find out what happened for the last few weeks. Finally, just yesterday, an ex employee sent me a text saying the company had gone into liquidation. But that is all I know.

    Volvo Penta water cooled exhaust lasts 22 months

    Volvo Penta Exhaust Which part actually rotted? Mine failed after 2.5 years when pin holes appeared in the rear "stainless" steel section. I had it replaced and wrote to Volvo asking for a refund. This was denied because it was not replaced by an official Volvo dealer. I understand this to be...

    Raymarine upgrade

    I have just replaced a RL72 with a C70 and did NOT need to change the Radome. Later versions are compatible; see page 13 of the C series installation manual available from the Raymarine website. Wiring up the C Series is easy, dealing with the panel cut-out mismatch is the interesting part.
