Re: Stus-List Placement of autopilot control head?

Thanks Fred. I never considered my E120 a classic, but technology moves on. My control head is on the port side cockpit wall just forward of the propane locker where I can see the readout and set the course easily. Allen From: Frederick G Street via CnC-List Sent: Saturday, October 17,

Re: Stus-List Welcome the Newbie!

James is correct. Back in 2004 I reduced my draft from 6’1” to 5’3” using a Mars Metals torpedo bulb. My goal was to have a boat suitable to our shallow NC sounds, and for eventual cruising in the Bahamas and Keys. I had to tell Mars how short we were making the keel, and how much the lead

Brian and David, The best person to answer your question is probably Rick Brass. He has done this project on his 38. I looked into it for my 38 also, so I can get you pointed in the right direction. My keel (and most probably yours too) was originally cast by Mars Metals. They can and do cast

Hi, anyone ever buy anything from sale-tools.com? http://www.sale-tools.com/categories/Marine-Electronics/Fishfinders%7B47%7DChartplotters/ Their prices on marine electronics are unbelievable (literally). Seems fishy but I figured it's worth asking. Some of their stuff is older so it makes sense

Re: Stus-List Placement of autopilot control head?

Dave, I originally put my p70 on the right side of the companionway. BIG mistake. My reasoning for putting it there was that if i was to engage the autohelm, i was leaving the helm anyway. Didn't work out like that, it's just too far away and I had to go forward every time I made a course

Re: Stus-List Placement of autopilot control head?

I've got my p70 on the right side of the companionway - otherwise I would have an empty hole, or would have to buy another multifunction display. I've got an a75 at the wheel pedestal (thanks Fred!) and that can activate and tweak the pilot settings, so I can control it either place. The

Re: Stus-List Placement of autopilot control head?

It's nice to be holding the wheel when you engage / disengage, so at the helm is my preference too. Tim Mojito C 35-3 Branford, CT > On Oct 17, 2015, at 8:12 AM, Joel Aronson via CnC-List > wrote: > > FWIW mine is in the pod. Very happy with it there. > Joel > >> On

CnCer's, My good buddy Brian owns a 1980 32. He is an old friend, a great guy and keeps her (the boat) on the west coast of Florida. I thought some of you could answer his question about keel surgery...chopping off lead and recasting as a bulb to reduce his draft. Resources and DIY

Re: Stus-List Placement of autopilot control head?

Graham brings up a good point: with the newer Raymarine MFDs, you can control a properly-networked autopilot right from the screen, which makes a nice backup to the control head. You really NEED to have reliable control of the pilot at the wheel, in my opinion. Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V

Thanks guys - this echoes my inclination (helm) but leaves me with some holes by the companionway where the depth instrument currently resides. I actually have a small Hoffman enclosure to install the p70 at the helm, but hesitated. My additional thinking had Been to use an iPad or tablet

Re: Stus-List Placement of autopilot control head?

I looked at the a-series and e-series MFDs at the boat show and really liked the integration of chartplotter, radar display, autopilot control, and instrument display all in one package and on one screen. I'd encourage you to keep the autopilot control at the helm...or at least within arms

Re: Stus-List Placement of autopilot control head?

I responded earlier about the MFDs before considering what someone else said about single handing and solo tacking. You should ensure that you can reach an autopilot control from in front of the wheel (not through the wheel). With the components you already have it sounds like your temporary
