  • Chris W at the top of J30 mast
  • Raymarine Wireless Dual Gauge Solar
  • Raymarine Wireless Wind Gauge Solar
  • Raymarine Wireless Wind Transducer Solar

Went from warm and sunny to cool breezy and rain all in about 4 hours. Paired new wireless wind transducer with wireless gauges and recruited my 3 amigos Chris, Eric and Andrew to do the muscle work of hoisting Chris to the top of a fractional rig to drill holes for the  Raymarine T120 wind transducer mount and mount the previous little gem. Everything went exactly as planned. Thanks guys!

The new Raymarine Axiom 9 Plus's were not indicating supply voltage so figured out how to make that happen. Also had very sliw response times during race day before so made some setup adjustment s that will hopefully help.

Since adding new electronics have been concerned about battery consumption. The Supply Voltage reading wasn't what I would've expected when plugged to shore power. After investigation and READING THE OWNERS MANUAL,  it was apparent that battery 1 wasn't connected to charger battery 1, how it knows which is starting is beyond me. Also noticed some corrosion on connections which I cleaned up. Purchased and brought to boat the last of the winch maintenance supplies. A good day on the boat.
