Hi! Asking here as Sterling products are not so common in Sweden so our native forums are rather useless. Alternator -> Sterling Alternator to Battery Charger 80 A. Sterling AB has two outputs: 1. START bank 2. LEISURE bank 1. START bank goes to Victron Argofet 200-3 splitter. I connected...

There aren’t much YouTube clips, no “Haynes” workshop manual etc for this engine being so new. Looking forward to more material. Would love to read up a bit before attemting the impeller. I’ve changed the impeller many times in the inboard Volvo Penta diésel but it is simpler. Thanks all here...

Changed oil filter, engine block anode today. Simple tasks. Don’t understand why bundled user manual states that to be authorised service centre jobs? Didn’t change the impeller. Next season... cheers

Hi! thanks for advice. Been busy. Will try this week. Will use the exploded charts for the oil filter and engine anode. Maybe for impeller also. Will double check the latter against the older manual you linked. keep you updated on progress, maybe take a few pics. cheers

Hi! Looking to find the workshop manual for my outboard Suzuki DF6A from 2017. I have the included OWNER'S manual (bought engine new). I need to replace the engine oil filter and the internal anode (inside the engine) as well as the impeller. It doesn't say how to do this in the included...

Mighty interesting thread! I want to do something similar, but charge the dinghy battery with the house bank WITHOUT starting the sailboat engine. I got a lot of Ah and Solar Panels so in the middle of the day, why not use the surplus to charge the dinghy electrical outboard 48v LiFePO4 battery...

Thanks. I ordered: CCC Sailing Directions: Kintyre to Ardnamurchan Sailing Directions for the South & West Coasts of Ireland As for charts, it’ll either be 4 x Imray charts for Southern and Western Ireland, possibly a fifth to cover Donegal - Caledonian Canal Entry. And perhaps a 6th for the...

Hi! Thanks for that. This is a wee bit tricky. We need charts and pilot books. Navionics for the Raymarine plotter will add up to +600 USD for the passage. Looking into Seapilot app instead. And complement it with paper charts. Or (we have done this before, not recommended?): Navionics app for...

Hi! Sailing back from the Caribbean soon and plan to arrive in southern Ireland around 10th of June. Need pilot books for Ireland and Scotland (including Caledonian Canal). We plan to sail via southern and western Ireland and on to Caledonian Canal through Scotland, and then back to...

Thanks, I got word from the equipment provider. Bought the iSatPhone Pro 2 brand new from amazon.co.uk from Global Telesat Communications. They replied ASAP on Facebook and writes: "The direct connection would not work reliably on 64 bit, we have seen previously it only works on 7/32 bit. The...

Hi, some sailors here say you can buy just the email service from MailASail, excluding the RedBox, for example if you already got a RedPort Optimizer. Is it because it is an iSatPhone Pro 2 you have to use the X-gate mail system if you got a RedPort Optimizer? I was aboard a vessel that has...

The staff refer to MailASail who they work with, so it's major bucks to spend involved. Had I known how this would turn out I wouldn't have bought the iSatPhone Pro 2 brand new but instead Iridium Go. Cannot spend bucks on the Go now that we have iSatPhone Pro, it's not justifiable. The...

Thank you both! Really appreciate it! We do not have Airmail or anything. We don't own a SSB radio. Need to get this to work prior to ARC departure 25/11 next sunday! Before I go into tech details - other sailors explain they didn't get it to work without a Redbox (from MailASail) or a...

Hi! Trying to use the guide at https://sailmail.com/category/satellite-phones/inmarsat/ When the modem in iSatPhone Pro 2 dials “28”. Where is this? To Inmarsat or SailMail? I don’t get it to work. I do not have a SailMail subscription. Must I have that, please?

Help please! I have the opposite issue. When Navionics Europe HD was newly installed it would change the depths in the chart when and animating the tidal icon. Moreover, it would also animate tidal and stream icons nearby. This is what I want. However, it does not any longer, the chart depths...
