My previous boat with an A4 engine would slow down or stall, when running at full throttle. When i backed off on the throttle, the engine ran fine. Problem turned out to be a clogged filter on the end of the pickup tube. Cleaned it out, and the engine ran fine after that. Did C put filters on the

Thanks Dennis…I’m afraid I’d be back similar to the Ev-100 Tiller pilot from Raymarine where it would simply be undersized. And….and I’m operating almost exclusively on the NMEA 2000 Backbone as I move forward. Got me thinking…. > On May 29, 2019, at 1:52 PM, Dennis C. via CnC-List >

Consider a Simrad TP32 if you have NMEA0183 interfacing. I think the Simrad pilots are very good. The TP32 has essentially the same control circuit as my Simrad WP30 Wheel Pilot. The TP32 is self-contained and does not require any separate components. I love my WP30! I’ve got 20 years use out

I’m here — but haven’t done anything quite like this with a tiller, so I’m waiting to see if other owners of that model chime in. And yes, I think James is correct, the EV-100 tiller pilot is under-sized for this vessel. Keep in mind that within certain parameters, you can mix and match

I imagine a hydraulic or electric ram might fit in the well if one end were anchored forward of the rudder post, and the ram extended fore and aft instead of being mounted athwartship. The ram will work either way. The control head will need to be oriented on the centerline of the boat and a

I found this little drive unit by Simrad/B which looks to be manufactured by Jeffa. It has an integrated rudder sensor. This would, I assume fit right underneath the deck filler and hood to an arm. Typical rams look to be too long for the space. > On May 29, 2019, at 8:56 AM, CHARLES

Hi James, My R model was originally built with a wheel and later the PO converted to a tiller. That's how she was when I got her and I installed the wheel the first summer. I use a Raymarine wheel pilot and it works very well. I had to replace the head after 12 years and the new model seems

I was on the pier couple weeks ago when a neighbor boat owner told me he was coming in off the lake and couldn't get full rpm on his diesel. He asked if I thought it could be the fuel filter being blinded. I said yes and asked when was the last time he changed the element. His reply? 35 years!
