Thank you for you’re reply I shall research that right now. I have a Raymarine C120 getting a bit out of date now and is very heavy on Amps especially when using the Radar. Mike

why should there be a different sender for sea or fresh water, all it does is reads the water temp and sends it to the guage, however the thermostat has a different setting for sea water which I think is lower than fresh water cooled so as to reduce the evaporating rate of sea water and leaving...

I bought the complete kit from Volvo at £90 I know this is not cheap but with it you get the new sender which has two connections on it one takes the original temp warning and the other is for the new guage it also comes with wiring harness to connect into the existing wiring and all works very...

what is this Nasa dual channel, I have a Nasa AIS engine connected to my C120 and I get a long list of targets with all the details, some times the details are not accurate and exclude the ships name which is a pain, so if you need to call the ships, as I did 4 times last Friday crossing from...

Hi I know little about this subject but I would say that if you alternator is the original 50amp Paris Rhone then it will not output much more than 25 amps, and as I understand it you can not hope to fully charge 360amphours of battery with it. when I had my Westerly corsair it had two 60...

Hi I notice that ABP are intending to make Fleetwood Marina into a 5 Anchor marina. Does anybody know what the criteria for this rating is, I look forward to visiting this new super marina. Regards Mike

I know that Hydrogen is lighter than air therefore must be vented out of the boat but what other reason is there that could cause the alarm to go off when the mains charger is charging, and the boat is closed up, I can only imagine that the boat is full therefore it would get into the Bilge. I...

Hi I am having problems on board. If I run my mains charger for extended amount of time (12 hours) and the boat is closed up, there is ventilation in the roof, my gas alarm goes off, as this is located in the lowest part of the bilge how is the Hydrogen vented from the batteries getting down...
