Ok thank you I thought the whole purpose of DSC was to broadcast a Mayday with all that information on it, it’s such a long time ago since receiving my first DSC radio and doing the extra exam for it. Mike

Hi I find all this very confusing a friend has bought a new to him boat the radio is attached and he has a record of the MMSI number I am able to call him ok, but if he should use the DSC distress facility the details that the coast guard will get will not be his next of kin’s name and address...

Hi friend has a moody 34 with a Thornycroft Misubishei. 95 whilst motoring normally suddenly revs drop to tick over once stopped and started again got him back to his berth. Having run the engine under power attached to the pontoon the engine did the same again he has checked all hoses all seem...

Hi is it possibly to calibrate the speed log on the lighthouse 11 plotter? the only other instrument I have is Raymarine 4000 autopilot perhaps it can be adjusted on that any help would be appreciated. The transducer is Raymarine. Thank you Mike

Thank you for your reply. How do you get to show that detail on the Navionics app

Hi thank you for your reply what I would really like is for the app to show my cog as well as the heading on the chart like Navionics does on my Raymarine C120 does and iNavx also shows.

Thank you for the explanation sorry I can’t be of any help with fitting the retro fit system, I do remember a boat owner in our marina fitting one himself by hoisting it up the mast drilling the rivet holes and riveting it with the mast up. I have no idea what system it was but imagine they will...

Hi Tony I had a maxi roach furling main sail on my W Corsair many years ago I bought it second hand to fit on to my in mast mast by Selden. I had to have a new luff rope put on because the one already on was too big. First question is do you have an inmast reefing mast? Or is it just the sail...

Is your old shaft the new size I believe more resent one are slightly bigger dia but if yours is older will the bigger shaft for the fittings at the top and bushes etc also a new rudder will need a bigger hole to accommodate the larger shaft. I have an old model on my W Corsair I enjoy using...

Hi I have inmast ( terrible I hear ) well I love mine on my W Corsair but if I want to put some twist in my main I need the topping lift to raise the boom then tighten the kicker to hold it steady my kicker is a fixed plastic cable from the top of the mast with a block at the end and a line run...
