Re: Steaming light and deck light

Bob, I just replaced all 3 of my mast lights with LEDs. I ordered them from marinebeam.com and here is a copy of my order. I glued the foredeck LED light bulb in place with a tablespoon of clear silicone sealant to hold it firmly in place. My clear cover for the deck light is gone and I didn't bothe...

Re: Autopilot Installation Pictures on 2004 C-350

Thanks Brett!

That's what I like about sailing. There is seemingly an unlimited amount of learning in all of the facets of the sport.

Have a wonderful New Year to you and yours. We are waiting for Spring up here in the frozen north.

Re: Autopilot Installation Pictures on 2004 C-350

Hi Brett, Yeah - I think the electronics must have evolved to a point where the installation is different on the newer autopilot drive units. I just checked the installation instructions on 9 different models of Raymarine Autohelm under-cockpit drive units, hydraulic and mechanical, from the Raymari...

Re: Autopilot Installation Pictures on 2004 C-350

Hi Brett, Yes - Proper positioning of the hydraulic drive unit (ram) is critical, and a bit of a trial and error process. In fact, I spent more time figuring out the placement of the ram unit than any other part of the project. Regarding your first question, yes, you are correct that the ram is not ...

Autopilot Installation Pictures on 2004 C-350

A few months ago, I took the plunge and installed a Garmin GHP 12 Autopilot System on Kinja, #192. The installation consists of 5 main components: 1. The Garmin GHC 10 Display/Control Unit mounted at the helm 2. The Garmin Course Computer Unit (baseball-size electronic compass ball) mounted beneath ...

Re: Fresh Water in Bilge

Greetings Fellow C-350 owners! I am the newest member of the fleet, having taken delivery of #192 (2004) this past Friday. Love the boat already. The previous owner left us a bilge with 3 inches of old stagnant water that had grown funky over a long time with lots of floating black algae. After hour...
