There is a calibration you can do if it's consistently off. Sudden drops
to zero sounds more like an intermittent connection. Differences of 0.1
knots seem likely just a rounding/truncation difference between displays.

If you Google “Stan Honey marine grounding systems” you’ll find links to a

Kevin,
Were you able to (or choose to) sail while headed up WA coast? Wind is
generally out of the north.
Also how far off the coast did you go and any issues with crab pots?
Recommendation that we got was to follow the 50 fathom line. But still saw
pot floats.
Congrats on your voyage.

The question of eliminating the ac-dc ground connection if an ELCI is
installed is an interesting one and I'm glad that Paul brought it up.
There's no question that isolating the ac green wire ground from the boat's
dc ground system will eliminate dc current flowing through the shore power
system.
I'd strongly recommend a galvanic isolator on the incoming shore power
green wire ground if you don't already have one in order to reduce one
source of galvanic corrosion. Safest approach is to not connect to shore
power and keep the batteries topped up with solar cells, but if you want to

Normally a lurker on this list, since I don't own a C&C, but thought I'd
post this link to a paper on corrosion issues by Stan Honey.
http://honeynav.com/grounding-on-sailboats/
West Marine has a version of this on their website. From my perspective as
a EE (but certainly not a corrosion expert),
A nice sailboat sank at the dock here a couple of years ago due to failure
of a galley sink drain connection.
I've gotten religion regarding closing of thru-hulls.

Check the Practical Sailor archives. They tested radar reflectors and
found none of them were really very effective, IIRC. But better than
nothing. Also, even if your active radar did help make you more visible,

FWIW, on my Westerbeke, the owner's manual recommends starting with
throttle wide open. Don't know about Yanmar. It helped a lot when I
started doing that. I guess it's good to read the manual sometimes.

UL 2034 is the applicable standard. It covers residential, RV and marine
applications. But it contains specific *additional* requirements for use
on boats. So I'm guessing if it does not state is rated for marine or boat
use, it doesn't meet these supplemental requirements. Not sure what they

Mostly lurk on this list since I bought a Sabre instead of C&C.
I live in Port Angeles, WA. Just wanted to say that I would make radar a
high priority in these waters. Virtually any boat venturing into the
Strait of Juan de Fuca has radar, down to the 20 foot fishing boats.
Best of luck.

No idea what the normal range is but my Westerbeke 21 with 2500 hours burns
very little oil. Maybe 0.2 quarts in 40 hours. Of course it has a

I'm back. Last time I was looking at a couple of 35 Mkiii boats. I'm
still mulling over one of them. But there is a 1988 C&C 30 Mkii available
