Clean the wire connections at the control head. The ground wire connection
caused a similar problem with my Raymarine autopilot.

Hmmm. My Nexus fluxgate compass is also about the same amount off my normal
compass. I had to remove the transducer temporarily for the core repair work
that we did, so I assumed that I messed something up which needs to be
recalibrated. Very curious that you are having a similar issue.

That sounds like my setup. I saw a small wire extending underneath the keel
bolt washer and could not believe that was the connection since it was about 6
AWG on the wire to the step and 14 AWG at the washer. Not sure how it gets
from 6 AWG to that thin wire yet. Anyway, I like the tapped alum
If it were me, I would drill and tap one of the backing plates.
However, if you want a simple solution, just strip a bunch of the wire,
coat it with TefGel, wrap it around your keel bolt threads and secure it
with a hose clamp. Not what I would do and probably not ABYC compliant but
it is simple.
I don't know what size you are looking for but I whimsically found a 316 SS
1-1/4" on McMaster-Carr for ~$11.

Nearly guaranteed to be standard SAE size. McMaster-Carr has all the
fractionals up to about 3 inches. It you have calipers that will be the
easiest method to measure the bolt diameter. If not then use a tape
measure and wrap it around the bolt and divide the result by 3.14.

One thing I do like about the topping lift is the ability to raise the boom
high when anchored, so it clears the bimini on our 35-2. Will I lose this
ability with a rigid vang? How much lift will it provide at rest?

You can control that to some extent by how far forward or aft you attach it to
the boom. It’s been a couple years since I installed my Garhauer but I
remember the instructions saying something about the fore-and-aft position to
make the boom level (or generally control its height) when the spri

FWIW, I stopped using my topping lift because it’s a nuisance when sailing.
Instead, I use the boom vang when raising, lowering the sail. When the sail is
not being used, I use the main halyard as my “topping lift” to raise the boom
to get it out of way. I just run it to the end of the boom,
Hi Shawn, I always take my main halyard to the back end of the boom, when
not sailing. So you can still use that to lift the boom a bit higher then
what the vang will.

On my 40-2, the mast sits in a mast shoe, really a box made of 1/4"

I can’t speak about the Garhauer vang, but the Boomkicker would keep your boom
too high if you don’t have it pulled down (by the vang or sheet). The rigid
vang should be able to keep the boom’s weight (and then some).

I considered getting rid of my topping lift since, like many others, I take
the halyard to the aft end of the boom when not sailing. The problem I was
not able to solve was how to hoist the aft end of the sail pack without the

Hello all,
I raised tha mast today and rigged the shrouds except for the lowers on both

I believe that the stem ball fittings at the mast should allow the rod to
articulate and exit in a straight line. I also believe that the stem balls
can slide out of place when not under tension. It may be as easy as
pulling/twisting on the rod to get them to align and drop into place. If

Keel & structural damage from a heavy grounding. There were pictures of it
