Re: Stus-List EV 100 autopilot

I have mine at the entrance to the companion way under the dodger. I am out of the rain when I motor which is when I find that I use the autohelm the most. My autohelm draws 4.5 amps so I do not use it frequently without the engine running. I can however it is a power hog. Where are you going

Re: Stus-List EV 100 autopilot

I think that at the helm is the default place, but I have seen it mounted either on the cockpit coaming or on a adjustable arm, so it can be turned 180 degrees (so it can be used from in front of the wheel). This type of mounting frees you from being stuck behind the wheel. If you sail with a

Re: Stus-List EV 100 autopilot

Also, if you use the autotack function often (which I do) you want to be near the wheel and winches when you activate it. This assumes the primary winches are nearer the helm than forward. When on autopilot, I sit at the helm and frequently tweek the autopilot by a few degrees to correct for

My windows have 4 screws along the top and 4 along the bottom. No leaks since around 1999 when the screws were added. :-) Bill Bina On 8/30/2016 4:30 PM, Petar Horvatic via CnC-List wrote: I agree as well. As per this article. I did it this april, and so far so good. No screws.

Re: Stus-List EV 100 autopilot

On occasion, someone bumps our autopilot and manages to engage it. Sometimes a curious little kid. I'm sure glad it's within reach of the helm when that happens. On Tue, Aug 30, 2016 at 4:38 PM, Frederick G Street via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Danny — if you put the pilot into

Re: Stus-List EV 100 autopilot

BUT — having NMEA0183 nav data from the plotter to the pilot would allow the pilot to steer to waypoints. And yes, you can do this; but the ACU does NOT have NMEA0183 inputs, so you’d need the SeaTalkNG to NMEA0183 converter kit on the SeaTalkNG bus. — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V

Re: Stus-List EV 100 autopilot

I can't help but wonder, if setting an autopilot is so you can leave the helm for short periods of time, why is the control better at the helm? you would think that being able to adjust from in front of the helm would have some benefit... I know it is just my ignorance speaking but, I'm just

Re: Stus-List Window Leak

I agree with Alan; more screws are just going to make the leak worse. Get rid of the screws, fill the holes and glue the window with Sika, or Dow795 or VHB tape.___ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members. If you like what we

Re: Stus-List EV 100 autopilot

I strongly recommend you put the control head at the helm, not on the side of the companionway. I had mounted mine at the companionway and ended up moving it to a box on the helm; much more useful there and you can display up to 6 boxes of data connected to the

Re: Stus-List Solar Charging -- Normal?

That sounds reasonable for new batteries. Are you logging the battery voltage? Is that what you mean by telemetry? Voltage is difficult to use as means of charging. Amps would be more useful, and AH are what ultimate truth teller. Solar charge controllers should have Amps. Little

Re: Stus-List Solar Charging -- Normal?

I just looked at my telemetry and when the boat is sitting with the 50 watt solar panel and no load other than the telemetry system, it tends to go up to 13.6-13.8 volts as the sun goes up and drop to 12.9 as the sun goes too low to provide much power. Overnight it will drop to 12.6-12.5 or so

Re: Stus-List Window Leak

If they are simply screwed in the why not remove screws, clean, apply new bedding and reattach using screws? On j boats of the 80s vintage the windows are screwed in and every three or four years if a leak detected we removed. Cleaned and resealed with just silicone. Solved the leaking at 20
