while we are at it, what model is our original airmar boat speed transducer?

i looked for the tech article and did not see it. any chance you could sent to me or post?  last Sunday I looked over everything in prep for ordering what I needed and I was intimidated just figuring out where the new wires would hook to at the engine end and how to fish them to the location! But with all this good help, I intend to try.

what is the distance between the battery bank the engine. I want to install 1AWG wiring on pos and neg side, given the age of the wiring. Thanks very much

I posted on this last spring
Does anyone have measurements for the length from the opening slot, upper portion, to the top of the mast on a c34 tall rig, 1990 vintage?
I do not trust the accuracy of mine and wanted to check it out. Thanks

I am amazed that you can keep it in the cabin and it works!

I am installing an AIS in the locker back of the radio. Question: where have folks mounted the AIS GPS antenna and where does the cable run ? Thanks very much.

has anyone replaced our speed paddle wheels, which keep getting mucked up, with the new ultrasonic variety?

After putting buss bars on batteries over the winter, i turned on the battery switch on the other day and nada. No power.
The volt meter shows normal current in the batteries and they check out with a meter
When i put the buss bars on, I dropped a wire on one of the poles, a positive, and was a big spark but seemed everything worked right after that.
Question is whether I should replace the battery on switch at the panal. Fuses are all good. I did check that.
Panal is from 1989, according to the label.

Wobegon, how did you take measurements and do you still have them?
I have a 1990 TR on my boat.
Thanks

i have a 1990 tall rig. Sail never easy to raise on the painted mast although I  put really good slides on years ago. Have decided on Tides system which everyone seems to rave about. Wonder what experiences people have had on this group? thanks
