Author: Tangorg Subject: B&G Zeus T12 MFD Posted: 28 April 2024 at 06:37 Hi It's a Zeus T12, I assume from 2014 when the boat was commissioned. There are menu items for wifi with a couple of sub-menus, so I assume there is wifi capability buried in there somewhere. I was trying to connect the MFD to my phone's hotspot so it could update itself ..read more

Author: mystudio Subject: Forestay lenght Posted: 27 April 2024 at 21:20 This is brilliant. This one will fit in the lower part of the drum, below the profile, so no need for the extended LS100. Cool! You will use  F511910A  I think? This will give around 50mm play for the length I think. Should be enough. Cool solution, thx ..read more

Ensure that all 4 of the T-valves are closed (clockwise).  These are pictured in the first picture I posted in the link Wayne posted.  If any are open, they will be reducing your opportunity to build pressure for movement.  Even if y ..read more

I was trying to connect to my mobile today but no luck. Then it occurred to me that my mobile only uses 5mhz and the BandG might only use 2.4mhz. I am going to try another phone tonight. I'll let you know the outcome. Cheers Roger I have Vulcans, so it might be different, but I doubt it. I spent days and days fiddling with updating my B&G instruments via WiFi - the only ..read more

When ordering new frames (i ordered only new frames) i would strongly advise to go with the anodized aluminum frames... not the powder-coated ones. 2 more remarks:  Upon investigation it showed that Hanse made the hatch mounting surface area solid GRP... no balsa... so you don't have to drill/fill/drill the holes ..read more
