Basically, the Admiralty has to use this model, given that about half the worlds waters would never get charted if they didnt charge for their data. Admiralty data is not expensive, and it is the companies like C-map etc that charge huge profit margins for leisure charts and give a very...

perkins Hi I managed to source many spares for my 6354's from Tad Transatlantic diesels in the US. Cheaper than Diperk. Other source is Mike Bellamy at Lancing Marine. Between the two of them they should have most of what you need. Good solid reliable engines, plod on forever. Don't change...

Theyr.com I use the £25 per year, paid for Theyr.com service, beleive me it is worth it, as you also get the WW3 wave model as well. I use it extensively with Coastal Explorer Nav Software, www.rosepointnav.com I did have the free Theyr version when they first re-started after the FMO...

Navionics Try the Navionics app, comes with all vector charts of UK/EIRE/NL, and is available from http://www.navionics.com or via Android market. It's quite useful as a back up, but I wouldnt rely on it as the sole navigation tool, but as a quick back up to paper charts it's fine. It costs...

Backhaul? This sounds very much like it is probably a problem on the wi-fi backhaul ie the link between the wi-fi hotspot and the internet. Many of the so-called hotspots in a marina or campsite are probably on a bit of Tatty old BT ASDL copper pair,(or whatever the local equivalent is) and in...

BC Mobile Broadband coverage. The Best bet for the Bristol Channel is to use Orange as the primary 2100MHz 3.75G provider, this also now gives you access to T_mobile as well as the two companies are currently merging their networks forming a new company called Everything Everywhere. For a...

Lack of Action Lets not forget that there are hundreds of merchant seamen and dozens of vessels still holed up in Somalia. There is a muti-national anti-piracy force out there, UK,EU, American, Russian etc etc. SURELY we could scrape up a sufficient naval and marine force between us, to go and...

Easy Way. Just go to any online chandlers and order something like a Cobra Fixed unit or a handheld. Theyr'e cheap enough. As long as you dont use it to transmit or disable the mic switch or something it will be fine. It is not illegal to possess W/T Transmission equipment, just to use it...

Trouble with Maxsea now is since they teamed up with Nobletec they've got products that look like Old Nobeltec (Admiral). Maxsea up to Version 12 was fine and I still think that Maxsea 10.3 was one of the finest pieces of Software Engineering ever. It still, even Today, Seven years on, does some...

I'll leave it alone then!! OK not to worry, I am experienced with gas safety, having been a fire officer in a former life. Just thought that there may be a commercial conversion kit available somewhere. I used to have something very similar in a Caravan we had years ago, I think it was called...

A few weeks ago I bought one of those portable Gas heaters the type that runs on the areosol butane cannisters.Good little heater and has a ceramic plate so therefore catalytic with ventilation. I thought it would be great for our little weekender, and it is...but it goes through these...

Thanks CF Didnt think...it's age you know!!! Steve

Would it work on a 210hp GM 8 cyl diesel?

Huawei Software Right, Ive sent by email the files to all the people who requested it, but there are five zip files and one MS word file adding up to 20MB or thereabouts. If you havent RX'd it by now contact me on by pm. And we can arrange to send on CD or SD. Steve.

Huawei Software OK....I have the latest unbranded Mobile Partner with statistics etc, the latest Huawei Firmware for all modern modems and the latest W7 drivers. If anyone would like them PM me. I cant do it for everyone, but I dont mind a few. They are largish files. There is a huge...
