Re: Stus-List Thru hull and manifolds

Joel, I agree. This might not be a good setup. The head drain is usually underwater. Nobody wants to see the gray water discharge. The bilge pump discharge should be as high above the waterline as possible. A second bilge pump outlet on the port side wouldn't look bad. Jake From:

Re: Stus-List Chartplotter Question

My “new” boat came with a Lowrance HDS-5 chartplotter/gps. Reading this discussion, I was hoping that I could do some plotting of routes ahead of time and then upload info to the HDS5 when I get to the boat.  However, I find no information about any connection/upload of information in the manual.

What electronic device do you want to plot with a head of time? I use my laptop at the nav station and it sends the next waypoint and course to steer to the NMEA 0183 multiplexer. There really isn't any uploading, more of an integration. I also have a card reader/writer for the GPS but it is too

Re: Stus-List Chartplotter Question

David, check out page 22-23 in the manual. There is a file transfer thingie buried in the Utilities menu. You have to use Lowrance software to do your pre-planning, copy that to a data card, stick that in the slot on the plotter, etc. Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C&C 35 Mk III Victoria, BC On 18 Jan

Stus-List Voltage conversion transformer

Has anyone any experience with a Philmore ST3000 Step up/down transformer? A friend is taking his boat to Europe. I can't determine from the web if it's a true isolating type or an auto transformer. A Mastervolt isolation transformer is way more expensive. Rich Knowles INDIGO - LF38 Halifax N

Re: Stus-List Voltage conversion transformer

Rich — no direct experience with the Philmore, but at that price point, I really doubt that it’s isolating. I couldn’t find any data sheet from their website beyond just a catalog page. How about a Charles ISO transformer like the model 93-IXFMR 3/8I-A: http://www.marinedeal.com/product_p/s93

Conversion and isolation transformers take a large amount of space and weigh a ton. Did you consider a marine charger/inverter or separate charger and inverter. The chargers are often compatible with a wide range of voltages and frequencies. The inverter will put out whatever you want based on y

There is no way to trim for "take off". There is properly trimmed and improperly trimmed. Period. There are things you can do to move closer and closer to properly trimmed, but simply trim according to the wind. More important, enter the rounding wide and exit close to the mark. So the question
