Hi Joe, I just purchased a 2004 C350 and I’m in the early stages of installing a B an G Ram drive AP using the same tiller arm that you used. I’m wondering if your tiller had to be drilled out for the bolt that goes through the center of the rudder post? Mine is only drilled out on the outside but n...

Very good points! Thank you for that feedback. I hadn’t thought about the fact I’d be constantly pulling hot air in. Looks like it’s back to the drawing board! Thank you!

I spoke to the tech at the Velair manufacturing plant and he assures me that it is fine to pull air from the lazarette side as long as the opening is as large as the intake on the unit. So, I'll just need to cut a hole to accept a grill.

Hello - I just brought home my 2004 350 and I’m full steam ahead with my to do list. One of my first priorities is to replace the chart plotter with my B and G Vulcan. I’ve discovered from this forum that it is possible to convert from NMEA183 to NMEA2000. That’s a really good thing! I’ve done some ...

I am looking at the Velair to replace my existing unit. A friend has the 16k btu and he loves it. Some of the aspects he likes: 1. Stainless steel construction 2. Very low amperage draw. 3. Runs perfectly on a Honda generator. He runs a 9k btu simultaneously with the 16k off the one generator. 4. Go...
