    B&G v60b antenna question

    Yes, you need two antennas, maybe it will work with a splitter. I have mounted my AIS antenna on the pushpit and it works fine. The signals will not be as widely transmitted or recieved as it would be if mounted on top of the mast though.

    Autohelm 4000 model Z077

    I had a ST4000 that did weird stuff from time to time, turned itself off, rudder hard over etc, but most of the time it worked fine. Then after a few years it started to behave erratic more often, I resoldered all the connections on the pcb and that fixed the problem. I would have tried the same...

    New gas installation on boat / replacing a Taylors diesel cooker.

    My boat had a gas cooker when I bought it, but I replaced it with a used Taylor A030 that installed myself. It takes a little time to get used to it, but I absolutely love it now. It is gorgeous to look at and just works really well. You have to maintain the burners, but it is easy enough. My...

    Taylor cooker pulsing

    Changing the fuel worked. I think. When I emptied the tank I had less than I thought, not half-full, more like 1.5 liters so maybe it just needed topping up? Thank you for helpful tips! I will stay away from the lamp-paraffin from now on :)

    Taylor cooker pulsing

    I bought a Taylor 030 cooker a few weeks ago and after sorting out a few small leaks, it worked perfectly, so I was very happy with the result. Especially since the fuel line ended up a bit long, a good 2,5 meters. However, coming back to the boat after three weeks something has changed, it now...

    AIS tranceiver QK A042T - I can not program it.

    It does not sound mad at all. I have had this issue myself(I turned on portrait-mode, it looked weird but it worked), but I have checked now and it is not the case as far as I can tell. I tried with the new USB cable and it actually came up with three nmea sentences in the nmea(i guess, I have...

    AIS tranceiver QK A042T - I can not program it.

    Hello pvb! The «Start code» and «config» button are grey and I can not access them. When I mentioned this to Quark Support they sent me a different program for programming the transponder, but still no luck. The thing is; it works with the original configuration program when I have the USB...

    AIS tranceiver QK A042T - I can not program it.

    Hello Richard! The boat details are not there when I open the configuration program. At this moment I wonder if it can be some sort of write protection lurking somwhere, but user error or firmware glitch are probably better guesses. I am trying a new USB cable just to try something, I can...

    AIS tranceiver QK A042T - I can not program it.

    Hello Ningaloo! Good guess, but the software silent mode is not used, other than that, the unit itself only has a on/off button. Today I am going to try a new USB cable, just to rule that out. Thank you anyway!

    AIS tranceiver QK A042T - I can not program it.

    Hello Forum! I am hoping that some of you fine sailors and computer-wizards might be able to help. I have bought a Quark QK A042T transponder that is not doing too much ...transponding. It basically works as a very expensive receiver. The problem is the programming of the unit, name, MMSI...
