Hole saw including arbor. Mid drilling, because I pulled it out to check how deep I'd drilled, the chuck had vibrated lose and plunk it went. I'm now the proud owner of one and a half sets of hole saws, and paid special attention to buying a locking chuck when I bought a new drill. Oh, and the...

Acetone free degreaser. Gunk should be fine, check the label.

The pictures of the Caterpillar 1W8361 I see online look like they might be the exact thing. Although ours never complained again after the cleanup I gave it, so that was the end of it :)

Yup, it's Google (Gmail) that is refusing our emails (and those from many other small websites), so I've locked Gmail addresses in return (as they don't work anyways). Perhaps that was a little coarse. I've meanwhile fiddled around some more and found a finer grained control, so you should be...

It's possible, but you might give yourself a headache doing it! :) Main problem is getting the data out of the proprietary ST1 (SeaTalk1) into NMEA0183, the rest is pretty dull standard IT stuff. There is an original Raymarine converter box, which only has a number instead of a name and hasn't...

Which error code(s) does it give you?

If you've got both ends of the halyard you can test if it lifts a load (e.g. bosuns chair with person) without involving the sail track. If it doesn't do that smoothly, your problem isn't the track but somewhere else, likely a worn sheave or axle. We had this on our outhaul, which ran fine with...

They don't normally need lubrication, but they do definitely need cleaning. Our genoa wouldn't go up after a winter in Sicily with lots of fine red Sahara dust flying around. I got a piece of nice old fluffy rope that fit snugly into the groove, attached some whipping twine loops on both ends...

If you can't see nuts on the inside (did you look under that unvarnished plywood piece?), they're threaded into a glassed in aluminium plate, which by now is likely to have a good grip on the stainless bolts. Work slowly, with release penetrant over night, impact driver, well fitting bit and...

Yup, ST6000+ has an EEPROM, no buffer battery. Does it retain the other settings or does everything revert to default? Does the rudder position sensor work (rudder bar is showing rudder position changes with autopilot disengaged)?

Definitely not uncommon. A friends Beneteau, 2007 model or thereabouts already had those same glued bulkheads, except the glue was properly cured, not soft. I was replacing the seacocks on his boat and pointed out that most of his bulkhead glue had cracked and both on the sides of the...

Nothing online about a FW model, so you'll have to ask Highfield. The roll-ups are model "RU", not "FW", so nothing to do with yours, which looks like a inflatable floor type with a narrow transom. The HIN suggests it's from 2015, so not current but not that ancient either. But where's the...

I've linked the original part in post #6. It's €235 :ROFLMAO:

Found one that should be suitable: https://cpc.farnell.com/kemo-electronic/m158/module-water-switch-9-12vdc/dp/HK01174

Check if pin 1 is also connected to battery negative (possibly via engine ground) and pin 5 battery positive. If so, the box is broken. In the box most likely is a tiny little circuit with at transistor and a relay that amplifies the meagre current from the probe through some saltwater and...
