Hi All. I’m struggling to find a connection method between my Garmin 521s Chart plotter and Watchsea Class B transponder. I’ve tried to find the necessary pin outs to connect both via 0183 but to no avail. So perhaps my only method would be via N2k. Could anyone here advise me please as I’m...

Good morning all. anyone know how to delete account details in a Simrad Go12 chart plotter. I have sold my boat and forgot to remove my settings from the plotter. Thanks.

Hi. I eventually narrowed the water ingress from the starboard interceptor I had the original replaced with a new one which was improperly sealed so when underway and the interceptor deployed must have dragged water in through the transom. Had that one replaced and hardly any water now perhaps a...

Actually the engineer suggested that this was just waiting to happen as the bonding material had become brittle as mentioned earlier. He also suggested that one wave on an otherwise calm sea would not have caused this to happen. I have read elsewhere here that there has been window issues of a...

So I am following up my previous post on the window screen issue on my Beneteau Antares 30 fly. As I stated a couple of weeks ago the centre internal screen cover became detached. I have now had engineers in to affect a repair and they have had to remove both front window screens. On inspection...

Morning all. Apologies for posting again but I’m looking for help from anyone who has had a similar issue. The internal centre support of the windscreen has become unbounded form the 2 panes during a rough ride. The issue is that I have little in the way of support here in Gozo and anyone with a...

Until 30 June then 19 routs open to selected areas then 15 July all open but they won’t say as yet if uk is included. This government keeps changing and is going through a massive crisis of corruption and coverup due to the assassination of the reporter who was blown up in her car. There seems...

Trauma today. Checked the boat over and found the centre support on the inside windscreen bent and has become removed from the windscreen in the middle. On Friday of last week when out cruising the sea became really rough in a few short minutes. Making good progress back to the Marina hit a wave...

Good morning all. Just noticed this thread so I thought I would pop on and say hello to those here. We are in Gozo Malta and launched Popski (Antares 30fly) a couple of week ago now but the high winds here have been so bad that it’s impossible to take her out. I am interested in knowing how...

Morning all. An easy question I hope. It’s time for me to change the service and engine batteries on my beneteau Antare 30 fly. Both are sited under the companionway however it’s not in anyway marked as which is engine and service battery. One battery however has a positive lead which is much...

Having a speed data issue. Anyone know which transducer is fitted as standard to Beneteau Antares 30 fly. The plotter is the RayMarine A70D and I have fitted a Simrad Go12 to the bridge. All is talking to each other but lost speed through water data. So my intention is to remove the transducer...

Hi and thanks for the response. It’s been suggested that I do a load test on the house battery to see if it’s showing signs of deterioration. I have seen a few vids suggesting that it can be done with a multi meter. Am I correct in thinking 12.6 v is a fully charged battery. I’m off to the boat...

Morning to all here. I recently experienced an odd power issue and wondered if anyone else has had similar. So I keep the boat on shore power all the time both to keep the fridge going and the batteries topped up. The shore power arrangements here in Gozo are we have a transponder on which you...

Thanks for the reply. Went to 5he boat today and double checked all wiring etc and found no issues there so I moved on to the controller and checked that. I had a similar problem about 18 months ago and it was a faulty controller but the error the was 3+4 on the panel . Replaced it and all was...

Good morning all. I know this has been covered before but I have just had two new interceptors fitted and all was ok until a couple of days ago. Went out and trimmed the boat to give us a smooth ride in what was a bit of a choppy sea. Anchored up then on the way back two flashing led 6+7 on the...
