Rich,
You are correct. Reverse polarity will apply a massive forward current
through the diode bridge in the rectifier assembly. Usually the diodes melt
forming a short circuit. That can actually be a good thing because it may
protect other electronics by limiting the reverse voltage. Hope y
Having opened a whack of new Raymarine gear over time, it looks as though that
equipment is possibly a demo or a customer return. I'd either return it or
negotiate a discount. It likely works ok. The warranty will be the same.

Danny,
Sorry about the TackTack stuff. Call customer service and ask to exchange it.
It looks damaged, maybe it was a display? I'm sure if you get a person on the
phone, they'll fix it. They've done great things for me over the last 10 years.
Be persistent and reasonable and I think they'll do
Actually, I thought that the alternator diodes were a likely possibility.
I told Steve (who really should join this list) that he should pull the
alternator and have it tested at NAPA. Cheaper than a Yanmar wrench!

The PO connected one of the battery's in my boat backwards because the

I believe the J/111 will rate 36 this year, probably lower next year.
There were a couple of "comments" about its performance. I race on a Swan
42 that rates -3. Those C&C 41 & J/40 numbers look pretty slow compared to
that!

Very cool. I saw the previous Rambler 100 in Newport Harbor a few years ago
getting ready for the Transat the summer her keel fell off and she rolled over.
She was sharing a slip with iCap Leopard not far from the Maltese Falcon.
There's nothing exotic where I sail so I turn into a bit of a fan

Courageous (US 26) dry sails out of our yard. They keep the boat impeccable!
Columbia (US16) was just painted, and Weatherly (US17) is in now for a repaint.
Fun to see and be around this history. We are also tooling for our next build,
the new Rambler, which will be getting underway in
Agree Dwight,
I like the C&C racer/cruiser line of boats because of the dual purpose idea and
they are well built and respected. My boat has taught me a great deal about
sailing because it is so responsive .
For the guy in BVI , I would add that you can win with a higher PHRF number if
