Stus-List (no subject)

Graham/all - to be clear, to me the issue is not so much being able to update one Manufacturer's firmware from another's device, it's about not being able to update it at all, without a MFD (hence the 'accessories to MFD subject line'). Raymarine could easily have elected to permit updates by

Re: Stus-List Prop Shaft coupling

If I may add to it, if I understand correctly, the set screws should not carry any load - it should be first, the friction between the coupling and the shaft (they should be perfectly mated), and second the key and the keyway. One other thing: the set screws should be used only once. The seco

Bill, I’ve had to separate the shaft from my coupling several times. It has always been an long, arduous process. I can’t imagine how it would ever work its way loose. The first time I had it apart, I even sanded the inside of the coupling to allow the shaft to slide back in place without

You Ray haters kill me... just kidding! But sometimes it pays to read the manual before you buy, and they are all available online these days. That Garmin thing is a cool solution, I like it. The Navico (B&G) version doesn't seem to be available anywhere, so that may have been a possible ro

Re: Stus-List Raymarine exits the instrument, vhf and

I agree with you. If I had known Raymarine's love of proprietary, lock-you-in, charge-as-much-as-they-please techniques, I probably wouldn't have bought an i70 and wind instrument. (It's pretty astounding how much they charge per foot for a backbone cable, and even the little plastic caps you use

Re: Stus-List Prop Shaft coupling

I would take the shaft and coupling to a reputable prop/shaft shop and have them properly mate the shaft and coupling and drill proper depressions for the set screws. I did that when I re-powered Touche' and bought a new shaft as part of the upgrade. Did it with the boat in the water. If you're

Joel, That's pretty much the nut of it, there is not the same critical mass or informed user base as with mainstream mobile computing, (and this IS mobile computing) and today, the tradeoff exists between the benefits (many contrived) of single-brand solutions, and the benefits of a more open app

Raymarine is not so bad. When the day comes that you buy a device, which is not from Raymarine, but you are required to use a Raymarine MFD to upgrade the software or even use the device, then you’ll feel like a Mac(or Linux) user. As a non-Microsoft software user, I feel your pain.But
