Re: New PSC 31 Group Member and Owner's Manual Request
Daryl
Pls copy all of us old PSC 31 owners a pdf of your owner's
manual. My old paper copy is getting worn.
Jay
Regarding a good heading source for any of the autopilots
substituting a satellite compass source into the network
has worked well for me and maybe for you. I have installed
a full NEMA 2000 network system and since mine was from B&G
(Navico) I used a ZG100 to provide a stable plot for my
radar overlays to the chart plot. Provides GPS, course
(True or Mag), and heal angle sentences to the network.
Heading is now no longer derived from a stabilized magnet
source.
Now I am even able to swing my helm compass without using
visual range lines as called out in the Ritchie Compass
users manual.
I use my ZG100 heading source as primary on my NEMA 2000
network and my old Raymarine Smart pilot picks it up rather
than the old hardwired fluxgate compass that is part of the
kit It also picks up my other sensors inputs from any
data sources on the 2000 network. I believe the EV 100 has
a more advanced fluxgate compass, but still suffers from
onboard deviation sources. Therefore, you might check to
see if your autopilot can use any heading sentence on their
NEMA 2000 network and go with a satellite compass.
This thread parallels my experience.

Regarding the EV100: the key is mounting the course computer far from magnetic disturbances. I originally mounted in the wet locker behind the head and could not get past excessive deviation errors. The EV100 replaced the original Autohelm unit. Finally relocated in the v-berth locker starboard side and it has worked well since then. Daryl

Re: New PSC 31 Group Member and Owner's Manual Request
Good morning, I would also be interested in the manual if possible. I am considering an EV 100 Raymarine wheel motor autopilot and would be interested in hearing anyone’s opinion on how well they work with their 31. Thank you,? Jay
Marc,

more than happy to send you a copy.?

New PSC 31 Group Member and Owner's Manual Request
Good Day, ? I am the soon-to-be owner of a 2004 PSC-31 hull #105, and will be sailing out of Portsmouth, RI. ? I have tried to locate an owner’s manual for the 31 but have not found one to-date (just one for the PSC-34). I’d greatly appreciate receiving a copy if someone has an electronic copy available. I previously sailed a Sabre 36 and am looking forward to new adventures with the PSC-31! ? Many thanks. ? Marc Mittelman m.mittelman@...

Re: Tuning and Rigging Guide
Our group is rather on the small side: I funded the first few years, so we had FILES and PHOTO ALBUMS, etc.
We lost that when we went back to the FREE program.
I have several files you may be interested in: a spreadsheet I used to order my own standing and running rigging - based upon the rigging guide in the owners manual.
I will send you both!

Re: Tuning and Rigging Guide
I’ll check my manual tomorrow and send a copy of running rigging specs if Daryl doesn’t have it readily available as well.
Best,

Re: DISCUSSION GROUP COSTS
I have down graded the group from PREMIUM services to FREE version. Did not get enough interest in group funding: and thus discussion group is just not as active as it could be….
I will keep it going as a free / no cost site. Any file and photo sharing will have to be done externally.

Re: DISCUSSION GROUP COSTS
Yes, I think the best course is to change it to the free version; which eliminates files and photos, but no one seems to be taking advantage anyway.
