I'm sorry I did not respond to all the questions asked as I don't have the information to hand to answer all questions asked in the kind reply's to the case I'm trying to solve. I am very grateful for the time and effort that all the kind people have put in in replying and posting on this...

You can get a kit from Gas Boat that allows you to connect to many different bottles. They are not cheap but allow a lot of different options e.g,: Buy GasBOAT Voyager 4061 Regulator Kit from SOCAL Southampton

OK. , Thanks all more googling makes it look like a MCB. I found the previous thread that helped, and I see some of your comments on there. Windlass Circuit Breakers

It is a 12V Lofrans original fit equipment from 2001

Good questions. The system only seems to not energize from from idle. On the hand controller you have to first switch the controller on, then you can lift the anchor up or down. It stays ready of action for about 20 seconds if you dont use it, otherwise you then have to turn it on again...

Thats what I thought at first unscrewing the bracket to take a close look at it to find the label! The metal that looks like a bracket seems to be integral to the switch and many small screws to take it appart , so I thought posting about it first would be a better idea than filling the...

We have a Intermittent fault on our Anchor Windlass . The symptoms are that the anchor hand controller intermittently does not switch on at the hand controller and checking the supply of power to the windlass at the front shows no Voltage at the windlass controller box located next to the...

About 10 years ago we did the LAT fort walk to St Helen's fort at Bembridge IOW. I saw a nice bit of cord poking out of the shingle, pulled it and found a slightly battered diving torch on the end of it. Took it back to the boat and after 5 mins of trying to prise it open I managed to put new...

I have been doing all our own canvas work for the last 10 years including 2 Spray hoods, 1 Bimini, several 15 ft rib covers, some tender dinghy covers and many dodgers. Currently I'm in the middle of a cockpit tent to go with the Bimini. You don't need that powerful a sewing machine I use...

I follow them on and off and usually watch on You tube with plenty of fast forwarding. I enjoy the technical stuff, locations and build process with the new catamaran, but don't watch the lifestyle and AG1 stuff!

Good point about the tiller pilot, I had forgotten! We did have one of those, actually a rather good one from raymarine with a separate brain and sensor , the equivalent to today's Raymarine Evolution Tiller pilot system. That was capable of sailing the boat down wind in F5...

We had both a Medina (1st yacht ,1 year only) and then the Hunter Delta for around 10 years. Definitely go for a Delta over a Medina. We had a young family and the space on the Delta was much better and she was an exceedingly good sailboat. We did many 2 week holidays in her down...

Hi ours was moored on the Hayling Island sailing club moorings next to the harbour mouth on the most westerly of the mooring lines running to the north which dried at low tide. Our boat was " Bluebell" and has been at Mengham for many years where it was moored a bit further into the Harbour...

As an alternative you may find it is simpler to construct your own wooden mast and wrap it in carbon fiber cloth. A good friend did exactly that for a Heavy long keel 32ft wooden boat last year that he converted from Gaff rig to Junk rig. He did that because he is good...

I suspect your only going to motor if your in a rush and there is not enough wind! We still sail up the river Beaulieu in our now fixed 2M keel, until the wind disappears keeping an eye on the depth, only occasionally at Springs low tide are we careful or reluctant to go across the...
