I fitted the Ray90 a couple of years ago. One handset at the nav station and at the cockpit steering wheel. The difficult part of this installation was the 10 meter extension cable which links the two locations. To state it was a buzzer of a job ......... The 10m cable has two different sized...

If you find the Nauticat 42's mast is too long/tall. Have a look at the Nauticat 39. A recent one is for sale on this link. Or look on the "For Sale" page of the Nautical Association UK. NAUTICAT 39 FOR SALE A Nauticat 39, similar age to this, has just recently completed the ARC. No saildrive...

I had a fully batten main & 135% genoa, both in Vectran, made by Peter Sanders Sails for my Nauticat 39 back in 2010. The vectran was manufactured by Hood. The genoa still has the original uv strip which has faded slightly and is still serviceable. Both sails still set very well. So I have no...

I have seen on the Facebook Yanmar Owner's Group that a few Yanmar owners have fitted new mounts from ellebogen.com Not used them myself but others seem happy as far cheaper than original.

Subscribed.

That document looks very similar to the one I had years ago. Nassa were renowned for brief instruction manuals back then. Agree that the supply +12 volts was the red colour wire and black the earth. I don't think I used the orange back light one. Don't forget the fuse in +12v line. Why not wire...

I had no switch on the antenna or the mounting box. The small two way switch was about 75cm from the plug which pushed into the antenna socket of the Navtex Pro. On my earlier post I got the two antennas the wrong way around. In your photo the one on the right was my original antenna, 518khz...

I fitted one of the original Navtex Pro's to my then yacht, a Moody 31, back in 1997/8 era. It was originally only designed to receive Navtex on the 518khz frequency. The antenna was similar to that on the Left on your second photo tuned to the 518khz frequency. Nasa then introduced an updated...

+1 for Master Blaster, back in 2017 he removed many years of old antifouling. No problems. He is often at PYH.

Like you went through this back in February for my Yanmar 4JH2-E. Have a look at Shell Rimula R4 X 15W-40. I ordered a 20Lt drum from www.opieoils.co.uk back in February which came with free delivery. Cost then was £80.95 with a 10% discount. There are quite a few recommendations for Opie...

If you have any left a couple would be great. Can pick up in Plymouth.

I fitted an XS version back in 2010 and was working fine before lockdown 2 started.

Been there & got the t shirt. Get hold of a suitable length of the coiled wire, some have a plastic outer cover. Often used to hang up net curtains in window frames. It is semi flexible. Feed it through from one end, which ever is easy. I often tie / tape a mousing line on the other end...

Yes. It probably just needs cleaning and a service, unless the bearings need replacing. Trip up the mast before the winter weather sets in! It is not a difficult task to do yourself. There are numerous previous posts on how to clean and service it, with photos, on this forum. Just need to...

Sent my old one back mid April and got the new one back end of first week of May. They emailed me to say it was in the post. No problems.
