Stus-List Contacting Mark Janda?

A few weeks ago, about 4 listers were trying to contact Mark Janda about some items for a 38 mk2 that he had listed on the Photo Album classifieds. Someone on the list knew Mark and offered to pass along our names. Stu also fixed the contact information on the classified ads. A week ago I emailed M

Stus-List Ray marine AutoPilot and Garmin GPS

Listers, For my 50th Birthday (yikes!) next year, my wife has purchased a Raymarine EV200 Sailpack autopilot for the Enterprise. I can’t wait until Spring to do the install. Although I’ll be more than happy to just punch in a heading and let the boat drive itself, I was wondering if I could g

Re: Stus-List Ray marine AutoPilot and Garmin GPS

Hi Edd, My Raymarine SPX-5 wheel pilot has a follow-route option. It gets that route via NMEA 1083 from my Garmin plotter. If that can do it, you can! One proviso is that I have to hit "acknowledge" at each waypoint arrival on the pilot controller in order for it to continue on to the next one.

Re: Stus-List Ray marine AutoPilot and Garmin GPS

Edd, Looks like the plotter is NMEA 0183 and the AP is NMEA 2000. You'll need an Actisense converter to translate the info - about $200. Or get an early 55th bDay present of a new plotter! Joel 35/3 Annapolis On Wed, Nov 11, 2015 at 11:18 AM, Tim Goodyear via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com>

Re: Stus-List Ray marine AutoPilot and Garmin GPS

Edd, >From what I know, if your chartplotter talks NMEA (I think 0183 is enough, but >2000 is probably better), you can do what you want. But... There is a lot of information on connecting a chartplotter to the autopilot and many people suggest not doing that. There should be a human inte

Re: Stus-List Ray marine AutoPilot and Garmin GPS

Marek, Both a plotter and AP are blind. You are correct that there is a risk. However, when they are connected the plotter can correct fro current and drift while you are distracted. If you maintain the same level of vigilence, I don't see much risk in connecting the two. my 2 cents. Joel On W

Re: Stus-List Ray marine AutoPilot and Garmin GPS

Marek, Safety is always a concern. Truth is, I’d never use it inside of bays or channels. It’s more for long (3+ hours) out in the middle of the Sound. As someone mentioned, currents or waves might nudge the boat off course — the plotter would then just the bearing and I’d like the autopilot to

Re: Stus-List Ray marine AutoPilot and Garmin GPS

I strongly suspect this is a safety feature. If someone was on the bow doing the "Titanic" thing when a 90 degree course change happened automatically, they might get thrown off the boat. Generally, the "acknowledge" depends on the arrival alarm function in the navigator. My 15 year old Simrad W

Re: Stus-List Ray marine AutoPilot and Garmin GPS

There is usually a way to "Goto waypoint" I did that in the early 2000's with my Garmin 262 and ST4000 autopilot. The autopilot (or GPS, I don't remeber) will ask for confirmation before switching to now waypoint. Ever since then, I always had GPS and Autopilots on my boats, but have never bother

Re: Stus-List Ray marine AutoPilot and Garmin GPS

I feel like it is probably possible. My Simrad J300X and AP22 will naturally steer the boat to a magnetic course. In addition I've configured it to talk to my Garmin 182c for GPS navigation. This provides compensation for set and drift. Even better is that I have it also configured to talk to

If the gelcoat damage is just chips, you might consider gelpaste. Spectrum color makes very nice gelpaste in many custom colors. Gelpaste fixes dings and chips very well. Unfortunately, I have no clue which color works best on our boats. They only have tinted gelpaste for newer boats, like 2006
