Tom — I have one of these for 1” pedestal guard tubing on 9-1/2” centers that 
I’ll happily send you for a $25 contribution to Stu:

Re: Stus-List NMEA 0183 - Do I really need an Opto-Islator? now WP30

[Shawn Wright via CnC-List]

Thanks for the info. My ComNav has a separate fluxgate compass, and the
controller is a large black box under the nav table. I assume the original
drive motor failed, and the Raymarine unit replaced it. The drive
motor/ring/belt appears to be the weak link, but I have taken it apart and
adjusted the belt tension, along with reinforcing the cracked housing with
epoxy, so it might work better now. The autopilot controller has low and
high speed modes, but both seem to wander quite a bit under rolly seas when
motoring. Perhaps calibration would help a bit, I don't know.
I will test it out next week to see if adjusting the belt helps at all when
wheel forces are higher than normal.

Re: Stus-List Boat Projects info?

[Frederick G Street via CnC-List]

Yes, I heard from Wal a couple of weeks ago, and he mentioned that he doesn’t 
want to pay for web hosting for his site any more (more $$$ for tequila?).  He 
has archived all of the content, so it hasn’t just disappeared forever.

He’s still in Mexico; he’s been down there for ten years now.
