Please do.

Poor thing...

Oh, I just did here in this chat.

Subbota is about to come along. I am short in crew, so I can take one person for sure, and may be even two. I will deliver the boat to Hangonkylä during Juhannus and leave it there for a week (and also one week after the event). Has anyone done that, does it work well? For 29.-30.6. I will come from...

I haven't got enough crew for Subbota, but perhaps could go as a crew with someone.

Don't take it too serious.

Wind was so light at the start so we were risking OCS at some point. And we could not gain any speed for a while after the gun. We were drifting and watching some competitors gloriously gaining a hull length advantage per minute. But then some wind came from the straight between the islands and we g...

The color I see - I am not colorblind. Just blind.

8.1 [...] Viimeistään varoitusviestin yhteydessä nostetaan valkoinen viestikyltti jossa on purjehdittavan radan numero. Is there a secret weapon or trick how you people read the number? I found out that I have to almost run aground Haukilahti beach to read the number for sure. And it seems that onl...

YES! Round toilet bowl brush for 1,70 did the job very well. With a great help of bilge pump.

Perhaps antifouling paint forms a collar around the transducer pipe edge which swells when in water and blocks the transducer propeller.

Joakim, I certainly owe you a beer.

I have never had paint on the transducer. Only on the tube into which you install the transducer. And also there just a thin layer on the very outer edge of the tube. It took me a long time to realise that it was the cause of the problem. I think I now got what you mean and where that paint could b...

I already cleaned it very well, but I of course could give it another try. It's much cheaper than a new transducer.

It could also be a faulty instrument, I had a Nexus server that blew its power stage for the wind transducer. I tried another server already - same symptoms. I have NX (not NX2) system, so the server is called "WSI box" and there is no blinking LED on it. And it's not a "server"...

there was some bottom paint in the tube for the transducer. I had painted over the transducer with the dummy in place and some paint went into the tube. It was enough to remove the paint with a finger nail. It seems there is very little clearance between the tube and the wheel, since the paint in t...

Yes, of course. It seems not to be the case.

Hello, My instruments Nexus NX stopped showing the boat speed. Interesting that if I remove speed transducer from it's place and spin the wheel with a finger it shows speed, even low like 0,2-0,5 knots. Then I put the transducer back and go out and speed is 0. There should be nothing on FE bottom th...
