Used to own Hurley 27 Monique, nice boat, dinette layout worked okay, roomy good hight in cabin. Only down side was it did not like a big sea on a stern quarter, tended to roll a bit, just needed a bit of tacking. Check rudder for splitting, they had a steel pivot encapsulated during build, this...

Two 5mm cables, one with piggyback connectors, one with plain connectors, plug plain spade onto piggyback, plug piggy back onto circuit breakerand watermaker. Brian

Had no major problems with mine, bar it was not comfotable with a sea on the stern quarter, reef early, do not carry a lot of canvas, it does not increase speed. In general it was a nice boat. Brian

No but a point that should have been raised, also reading the service battery volts for alt reg can result in high voltage to engine battery via a blocking diode, all need checking. Brian

What make/type is the external reg ? some drop down in voltage by reverting to the internal alt reg, OP does not have one now. Brian

This year has been dead, we over look the Penryn river, hardly a boat has passed by to or from the marina, boats have sat on their mooring all summer. Brian

No, but now you mention it, since the change-over I have to charge her phone battery twice a week, before it was once a week :unsure: Brian

Wife's on ASDA. still on PAYG, just harder to find since they changed network. Brian

Check voltage on input terminal block clamp screw on Merlin gauge, i.e. service and engine voltage. Brian

Why not a air pressure switch, this can be mounted well above water level ? Brian

Changing sails is difficult from the cockpit, my boat came with a total of 8 sails, all used while crossing the Atlantic. I'm now running all lines to the cockpit, as I don't plan on that trip. Cost depends a lot on if you buy kit over a few years at the right price, or pay to have it supplied...

Be interesting what the mods are, there were 11circuit outputs from the original switch panel, plus an additional 6 circuits supplied direct from the circuit breaker panel. Brian

You should have a 9 way switch panel + horn, with a seperate 10 way circuit breaker panel by the throttle lever, helm panel see here It is posible that very late boats had a one piece panel in the same place with switches on the top and circuit breakers along the bottom. What other panels have...

Battery condition meter I find interesting, don't remember ever supplying panels with them fitted for the 190, has it been changed, or is it just old age with me. Brian

Found a little funny at first, as it's listed a golf site. Brian
