Hello, have anyone ever used a video camera like this video camera ? if so, how do they perform in terms of hull or propeller inspection? Have any idea about using this with my laptop monitor instead of its own monitor? thanks Antonello

hello, I am just wondering if anyone has ever installed a J Prop on the Beneteau Oceanis 311 with a Yanmar 2GM20F and a 25 mm shaft. Thanks, A.

Thanks to all of you, the last questions: 1-is it a good idea to sandpaper the surface or is it useless? 2-putting the two depthsounder one aside the other will influence the result if they run contemporarily? Thank you again. Antonello

Hello, I have got a Hummingbirdi 565 fishfinder and more than one friend said to me to use the default transducer (transom transducer) as in hull transducer and then, if it doesn't work, buy a in-hull transducer. I have found this phrase in a post in this forum on 3rd sept 2008: "do you need to...

OK, thank you very much, I was looking for "folding" instead of "feathering" props. My e-mail is manconello@tiscali.it and I will be vary grateful if you send me that article. Bye, Manconello.

Hello, yesterday there were two sailors on my pontoon talking about folding props, and while one of them was for the max-prop, the other one said that the j-prop is better, because at a lower price it gives the same performances. Have anyone tried these folding props and can anyone say wich is...

thanks to all of you. Now I will try with Ancasta and try. bye bye

I'm looking for someone who has installed a fishfinder with an in-hull transducer on a Beneteau Oceanis, preferably the 311, and that can tell me if the space between the water tank and the fin keel is a good point to fix the transducer. The best answer I hope is from Beneteau, but they seem...

Hello, I wish to install an in-hull transducer on my Oceanis 311 Clipper. Has anybody done this before on this type of boat? If you know this type of boat, is it a good place between the water tank and the fin keel? there are already two through hull transducer (speed and depth) in that space...

hello, some time ago I read about a drill bit that would transform an angle drill in an "electric winch" by turning the winch with this bit into the handle space. A good idea, and I bought the bit from USA. The problem is that I can't buy the "battery angle drill" because from USA they don't...

Hello, I have an Oceaniss 311, with two batteries in parallel (74 Ah each). I never understood which is for the engine start and which for the domestic services. Does anyone know? Or is it indifferent? Thanks.

Hello, I've just installed the tiny tach on my yanmar 2GM20F, and all seems to run. But when engine is in idle at the lowest rpm the tiny tach reports 1050 rpm, that I think is too high for this engine. My question: how can I control if the engine has a too high rpm when in idle or if it is the...

so, to summarize: my boat batteries are 74Ah each and are always connected in parallel; my problem is to maintain them full charged when I am not using the boat (about 1 week) without any consumption excelpt for the bilge automatic pump; My questions: if as suggested in this forum I will buy a...

If I remember, Beneteau suggested to one user to put in reverse while sailing. And so do I, but the last time it happened that while trying to engaging neutral before re-starting the engine, it jammed and wouldn't return to neutral without a great effort on the lever. The engine is a Yanmar...

Thanks to all. The panel I need is only to maintain the charge during the week, max for 1 month, when I'm away. Usually I leave the batteries charged, but the bilge pump is in automatic, so it is better have the batteries charged then not. What I don't understand is why a low power don't need a...
