Re: Headliner for S452

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Jorgen:

Allison¡¯s comment reminded me of an upholstery shop that does custom work on classic & modern cars, has worked on boats, and does a fair amount of commercial & residential work. Try Carthom Upholstery Corp. in New Rochelle (at the entrance of New Rochelle Municipal Marina). I used to winter there before the garage replacement project, and they had a variety of projects going on.
Good luck,

I have the P79 mounted in my Shamrock fishing boat, solid glass hull. It is connected to a Garmin MFD with CHIRP sonar. It works great, provides accurate depth, structure, bottom density and fish. I would say TMI for sailing. The deepest I¡¯ve been in was 90¡¯ and got good readings.?

Re: Solar Panels on Bimini with Split Backstay

 

?Brian,
Attached are the photos of my masonite templates for solar panel backing plate plates. ?Four photos show the templates mounted on top of the Bimini. ?Note the problems with gaps between the canvas and the template. ?One photo shows the template mounted under the Bimini and over the center ridge pipe, and one photo shows a template (simulating a solar panels) mounted directly over the backing plate under the Bimini in the previous photo. ?This is the plan I will use. ?The tech guy at Custom Marine Products thinks it¡¯s an excellent idea and gave it his blessing, for whatever that¡¯s worth. ?My local canvass guy likes it too, and says modification to the center pipe zipper can be done at reasonable cost.
As previously stated I plan to make the actual backing plates out of 1/4¡± StarBoard with the edges rounded off because I think it is much better suited to the marine environment. I will mount the backing plates and the panels with appropriate length 10x24 bolts a washers in the fashion of the bolt kit available through Custom Marine Products. ?I will also have some grommets and 2¡± squares of reinforcing canvass add to the bolt holes, again at minimal cost.

Re: Solar Panels on Bimini with Split Backstay

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Don,

There are so many variables that contribute to real life panel performance, it is important to not get too caught up in ¡°precise numbers.¡± I think Calder uses the nominal voltage for his estimate, 12v. Anything from bird poop, to salt and dust buildup, to clouds, and shading can degrade panel performance. And in practice my Solar panels rarely hit the 150w output they are rated for. Even direction of travel. Today heading north under absolutely clear skies, my starboard panel produced 890 Wh. The port panel, next to the radar pole only produced 300 Wh due to shading a really small portion of the panel, this all because the sun was behind us. Had we been heading south, both panels would have produced in the same neighborhood. Nonetheless, I was still happy with the 1200 Wh (100ah) they produced, more than I ?consumed today.

My understanding of flexible panels is they are designed to flex over a firm surface, like a curved cabin top or hard dodger or bimini and not designed to be flexed. There are very fine wires and connectors in the panels, repeated flexing can cause these to break. The advice to mount them on something that won¡¯t flex as much is good advice.?

Separating the panels into port and starboard makes more sense to me over orienting them athwartship. A shadow from the mast or sails will affect both panels if mounted athwartship but only one panel if the panels are oriented fore and aft.

Here¡¯s the Calder article I referenced. It is getting a bit dated, however the basic information is still valid.

I can tell you first hand that two Epoch 12v 300ah fit perfectly under the starboard settee on a 362, I just finished upgrading my electrical system with the help Jordan who is a regular contributor here. We went with a Victron Phoenix IP43 for the charger, 2 - 210w Solar panels, 2 - Victron MPPT Solar charge controllers, a Victron Orion DC-DC, and a Victron Lynx distributor.?

Re: Datamarine Anemometer- wind speed cups aren't moving

 

I was able to re-use the cable when I replaced an old Standard Horizon system with a new Raymarine system. I had to splice the wires at the top of the mast so that will be a weak point but it¡¯s been working ok for several years. But I think the sensors and the indicator will both have to be replaced.?

Re: Datamarine Anemometer- wind speed cups aren't moving

 

What Jim said. You can't get the DMI masthead unit to talk to anything other than the DMI display. I replaced mine with ?Raymarine ST60 which was a great upgrade as it talks to both my Vesper system and Simrad autopilot. I preferred the hardwired sensors as I was going up the mast anyway to install the new sensor and pulling the new cable through the mast wasn't that big a deal (with help of course).

Re: Datamarine Anemometer- wind speed cups aren't moving

Sorry, but there is no hope.? The connections between masthead wind sensors and displays were totally proprietary in that era.? More specifically, Database used an 8 wire connection and Raymarine (then if not now) a 5 wire connection.? Neither is NMEA 0183 or anything remotely standard.
