I bought a new GV80 coupe a few weeks ago, and am looking for some help. Every time I wash my car, the driver side is covered in grease within minutes. I can't tell if it's the tires, or if I'm missing something. Any one else have this experience?
New polo, new pants, old shoes. Happy Mother’s Day all!
Hi all, I have a very old Raymarine ST4000 system, and the depth is the only measurement that is actually working. The speed always displays zero, and the wind speed looks to be displacing random number. The wind direction is also wrong. The screen on the autohelm component is shot, so I just ordered a replacement screen so I can try to recalibrate and see if that works.
Anyone ever have a similar situation? Just looking for any tips, and trying to see the odds of a recalibration actually fixing the wind and speed measurement. Thanks!
Hey all, looking for some advice after a scary day on the water. I was moving my sailboat (Endeavor 33) from winter storage to the docks. As I got onto Lake Michigan, the wind picked up greatly. Probably about 25 knots. My front sail came unfurled, and we couldn't do anything to get it under control. The sail wouldn't furl, and even when I tried to put the boat in irons, the load was so strong we couldn't really do anything. The genoa ended up tearing, and even when we tried to just lower the halyard, the load was too much, and we couldn't get it down. We ended up getting a tow back into the river and we'll try a different day.
I'm about 99% that the genoa was rigged correctly, but it definitely might have been furled incorrectly.
I am trying to (1) figure out what happened, (2) get advice on what I should have done once it was under load and we couldn't recover.
Thank you for any advice.
