David,
I use rings in most places on my boat. No issues. It makes it easy to
adjust the rigging often.

I have always used rings on turnbuclkes, they are much quicker to adjust and
less likely to cause wounds, but the last few years have had trouble getting
good ones. The wire is too soft and winds up getting mangled. Chinese junk I
suppose, but the local marinas don't have a better source.

My experience with hydro lock is to avoid it by putting the bucket in the
locker below the cockpit and at engine level so excess water is not forced due
to gravity into the engine when the pump is not operating.

That's also a big step towards open source. The Raspberry Pi stuff is
cool, but too techie for my limited skills. Also, I've got almost all NMEA

This method came up on the list several years ago, with suggestions for making

What you say is true from the perspective of having effective galvanic

Also, the ProMariner FS Series is a “fail-safe” type isolator; no remote panel

The isolators do more than deal with badly wired boats. Every boat that does
not have an isolator is connected to your boat directly through the green shore
power ground wire. Plugging into shore power is the same as unrolling a huge
spool of wire and connecting to every boat in the marina. Even

We never had fuel or engine issues even in very bad weather going to Bermuda,
so perhaps by blind luck C&C got the 35 MK I plumbed correctly.
For a fuel vent for the race I would be tempted to run a hose about 6 feet up

Maybe this is bad, but there were times that would have been underwater for us.
Looking back I am not sure why we didn’t have issues, the boat seemed to be
mostly submerged at times.

FYI most routers are either 12v or 5v DC. Its easy to find 12v to 12v, or
12v to 5v power supplies. It would be prudent to get find one that also
has a small battery backup too just in case of a power perturbation.
