I13=EmergencyOverride (emergency disable all automation). Is there a reason that you went with that one versus a stat4eside product which is similar? Then we unscrewed the cable from the motor on the other side and pulled the cable out as far as clearances will allow and cleaned all the residue off of that end as well. The boat is registered in the US.
The engine averages in the high 40% load range which is unusually high for generators that are used to charge batteries when needed. While you are in Bean Town. After that, we'll spend the summer in Norway and plan to winter in Amsterdam. If the tiller arm could be drilled to accept a 7/8" bolt then look at a McMasters-Carr catalog. Wonderful to follow you across the Atlantic. Hopefully your issue is easy to solve. I just posted about Old Port Cove Marine in North Lake Worth, but if you'd rather anchor, there is a very nice, very wide open, very calm anchorage just a few hundred yards away – almost due east of it. Jody has already hiked 4 kilometers. the trail is 12 kilometers long. USA is currently 224 (close, huh? Early in the day yesterday, those were the conditions and had been for quite a while. Your plot projection just popped up so that answers my question. Eventually, we were gliding across a long ridge, the Lake Tahoe basin (and bear country) to the north. We loved the view and ambiance from the Pavillion Bar on top of the Market Pavilion.
Unfortunately, it's going to need a rebuilt cylinder head to be back to long term full load operation. All gen power and shore power goes up to breaker panel. Haven't firmly decided on whether will make it to Mariehamn but it seems likely at this point. On a side note, if those flying fish would just be a bit bigger you would not even have to hassle with a line and hook.
Have you had any thoughts of coming up the St Lawrence all the way to Lake superior? Does that socket get used often? My recommendation is to wait and see what you end up with and get fuel bladders if you need or want them. At this point the draw of eastern Canada and the Baltic Sea is stronger than the Great Loop but we like to keep our options open. I drain only out of the drain on the oil filter side of the block which appears to be low enough to get most of it. Our interest in VPN is from the security prospective not anonymity. We don't intentionally travel in poor weather. We actually store rubber goods in an air conditioned space. Driver issues can be a pain to figure out.
We spent quite a while finding locations we liked that gave good light coverage in the generator area where we had removed the fluorescent fixture and then locked them down with two screws so they don't shift. The next weather system is a strong one coming down from Greenland with expected sustained winds in the 35 to 40 kt range with 18′ seas on only 8 seconds. We always like you have a stand by magnetic compass but the nav computers monitors the GPS derived information and integrate this with, in our case, Triple Laser Ring IRS derived data. That would be slick and save a lot of room. How can anyone run the phone wire "burried" a couple of inches? We received the UCG last week and I am trying to set up the bridle. The best way to shorten a siege is ensure the enemy runs out of water. I am a decent amateur mechanic but clearly not in your league. We do have a lot of spares on board and what that buys us is the trip never gets redirected to wait for parts or service. Scania is a swedish truck manufacturer from more a century and if nordhavn put their engines on the option list maybe they could fit well in the nordhavn way of travelling. The third belt failed in under 500 hours and, on it's failure, I went back to one of the 5, 000+ hour belts. Now that's a record that doesn't need to be broke! 0 kts low to speed over ground when running directly at destination) and Maretron has Velocity to Waypoint but not direct.
As we neared the end of the valley the road led across a river and we decided to use the ferry; a local guy with a bamboo raft. Nothing big predicted but looks like we'll be seeing some weather. I thought before I reinvent the wheel I would see if you are sharing your code anywhere. Does your system back up navigation references to a portable drive should there be a natural disaster black out???? Today it was back to normal. Everything on the boat is stored locally on RAID6 which can operate through two disk failures without data loss. Running out of storage or blowing out of the end of a circular buffer or whatever and just running off the road is not an acceptable design. I initially thought we had a steering problem but it was just the bank effect where the bow tends to push off the bank and the stern tends to "suck" towards it. Just convert it to external regulation and install Balmar regulator configured to keep the alternator temperature down below 225F to 235F. Germany and France can be more challenging but we always seem to get by without issue. Third anchorage in 3 days with a waterfall. We use solid state drives for high I/O workloads but they are poor value for bulk storage.
Other times we push harder to nightfall is near and we prefer to arrive in new locations during daylight. 5″ down below the water line brings in prodigous quantities of water even when switching sounders quickly. Logging on every day to check your progress and adventures! Jennifer is using Flitz metal polish and is happy with the the results and efficiency of getting them. May I say dirona can be seen on the Kristiansund Sentrum. Do you already have a approximate schedule for arriving to Stockholm? Other than that, the tube bundled stays pretty clean and nothing hard or difficult to remove seems to accumulate. If I were to do it again, I would not run most of the large conductors that flow throug a boat but instead use small, multi-conductor control cables signalling relays to close higher current connectors close the source. Haven't seen it recently but it's a favorite of ours. Being on a Submarine Rescue/Salvage ship, we always considered "Submarine Rescue" an Oxymoron. On the refrigerator which we consider very mission critical, we didn't need to take it apart but did a pass through the parts book looking for candidate parts that might fail. Most boaters in Sweden seem to anchor using a stern anchor and then tying their bow to shore. This can be very damaging to an so I recommend against it. There is also a engine coolant loop inside to allow the water heater to be heated by waste engine heat as well so, under some circumstances when running the engine for a long period of time without using hot water, the temperature can be as high as 180F (5 to 10F less than the engine).
Looks like it might be time for a CAPTCHA with all the blog spam. Really nice picture of what looks to be an great place to relax. It's nearly dead flat out here, the stabilizers are hardly moving, and the current directly behind us. Maybe just raw water impellers since they have a higher chance of obstructions which could cause impeller failure. We have been enjoying and learning from your blog for several years now. It will definitely come but hasn't yet. It's not been more than 10 years and we still have no regrets. I don't want connector wear etc. We have this cool anchorage today anchored at a water fall. Tim, if we understand you correctly in this, this can be solved pretty easily. There is no need to be outside, there is no way for water to get into the fuel, and as you astutely pointed out, all fuel passes through a filter before moving from the bladders to the main tanks.
The gasket will wear and, eventually, the joint will open up. And, I know that Lugger/Northern Lights, ABT, and the PAE Project Manager all will jump on the problem quickly and provide the needed help. Given we're in a fairly sheltered location, it's surprising to see the winds so high. The most likely cause is the shaft isn't true but it's possible that the transmission flange was bent when removing the shaft coupling, it's possible the trans flange is out of line and the yard machined the coupler to match to match it. It's finally warming here in the central US. Steve is incredibly knowledgeable and can both catch system design issues that we both might miss and he can help to help find the best solutions where there are design alternatives.
Also, I have the Northstar NSB210s with 2300 Marine Cranking amps for my Bow Thruster. Right now the ER temps are so good I might not get around to designing the evap cooling system but I love the idea and I think it could be used to solve truly challenging ER cooling problems especially on larger boats. You know, I suspect you might be right. It seems like a near impossible task but it's still a credit to the Navy that they did what they could to be fully prepared.
