Thanks for all the replies, it’s been interesting to read. Especially ROSK, as I believe that may be similar size boat. Interesting figures. It is for a Princess Riviera 286. It’s certainly not for ‘how much is this going to cost’, I’ve been baiting long enough and accept that a day on the...

Is there a diesel flow meter that can work with twin AD41’s? Or even just on one of them? Keen to be able to work out most efficient speed and usage? I’ve done a fair bit of searching and seems i can only find them for petrol engines, ie no return line. Surely there must be something...

That’s some really great information there, thanks to all that have posted. Certainly lots to think about.

Hi all, after some guidance / opinions if possible please. Looking to buy a GPS chart plotter for a motor boat. I’d like position, speed and depth. I know very little about what is out there and more so what is actually a good option.. I am currently using navionics on my phone which I like...

Yes. Do have a dog, will certainly need to look into what needs to be done for her to come.

I wasn’t sure which group to post this in so apologise in advance if it’s the wrong one. I’m toying with the idea of motoring down from the Solent to the Seine and plodding away at our own pace up to around Paris. Is this achievable? And, I really am at first stage level, what needs to be...

This is what is fitted.

Hello all, I’ve been a long time reader on here and maybe only posted once or twice I think. I have just replaced my boat with a new to me Princess 286 Riviera, and love it, so far, does what we want. However, the one part that we would like to look into changing is the swim platform...

I tried a free trial with savvy navvy but it simply wouldn’t track me, when. It did, it was straight lines with massively in accurate data. The majority of the time it just would not show my position. I contacted them via email, got a very quick response asking if location services were on...

Evening all, thank you for all the replies. If I’m honest, a lot of it seems to have gone over my head. Too much I don’t know about here. I did get down to the boat today and took the panel off the arch to see what was under there below the Humminbird Antenna, and there was just a double plug...

No I didn’t know that. I need to get the panel off now and chase the wiring, see what’s actually there.. maybe there is a receiver and it will be as simple as connect up. I doubt it though. Thanks for all the input, I’ll update when I know what’s there.

I’m assuming this is a GPS receiver.. but stand to be corrected if not. Now I know which wires are required I will see what is there?

Ah great, thank you. It was the connector that was confusing me as I couldn’t find any GPS receivers with that connector. I was u aware that it was just specific wires within for the receiver.. I can hopefully work with that, thank you all.

Hello all, Would anybody please be able to advise on this radio. I’d like to connect a GPS receiver to it so I can get position displayed. could anyone advise what I would need to for it please? Thank you..

Thanks all. Not removable ( at least not without a lot of hassle). I will try giving a gentle hand wash with some soap, if no luck will try a bit of vinegar. Thanks
