In fact some replaced their Euro and early Japanese stuff with Lucas for better reliability. Electronics are weird. Theoretically, there's no reason for a transistor or diode to fail, but they do; so often that the telco used tube (valve) type amplifiers in undersea cables. So, as wiring, et cetera, age we see problems that never occurred when the cars were new and often nobody knows why. Wire and other manufacturers made a big leap in materials and QA about the time Japan's industries became prominent and much of their legendary reliability can be traced to this vs anything uniquely Japanese (ie, American, Brit and Euro electrics got better about the same time). Most early Japanese wiring harnesses were "manufactured" by old grandmothers in 1000 seperate home basements using plywood patterns with wire colors penned on them in color - hardly high tech but equally good, and even better if grandma had better insulated and tempered wires..

: ============================================= Knowing what you know now, which SSB/tuner combo would you pick for a new installation. Operation on HAM frequencies (licensed of course) would be a plus. "Lionheart" has an Icom M802, which switches to all transmit by pressing 3 keys together for 3 seconds, and is easily switched back. However, due to the open design of the transceiver, itself, where sea air is sucked into the box to cool the stupidly-designed internal heatsink, exposing the whole thing to salt contamination....and the idiotic plug design on both ends of the control cable to the AT140 antenna tuner, I cannot recommend this unit, either for a long term HF/SSB transceiver where life and the boat may be at stake. Why Icom chose to make the M802 out of a ham radio box has yet to be explained to me. The matching M602 overpriced/overfeatured VHF rig is sealed and has military-type sealing connectors. The M802 and AT140 don't belong in a boat the way they are configured and connected.... The Furuno is a nice, sealed, waterproof unit properly made but at an amazing price sure to cause sticker shock, about $4300, complete. Government meddling across the planet, however, has made it a poor choice for a broadband transmitter as it only has 200 extra EPROM-programmed-by- the-factory "channels", in keeping with governments trying to keep you off general coverage transmitting. They think everyone is too stupid and need channelization. It's NOT a good ham rig. Does anyone know anything about the Sailor 4000 or 4500 from Zora in Russia? http://www.zora.ru/eng/?a=show&id=97 Sealed, military heritage, no chinzy Japanese ham radio parts...looks very interesting. larry |

rudder problem
I have some play in the rudder of my 31 foot 1971 Seafarer sloop. I
think it is a Tripp design, full keel. What I'm hoping to find out from someone in the group is - How is this rudder connected to the stainless shaft which connects to the tiller? Through-bolts in the shaft which are imbedded in the fiberglass?? or welded straps?? If so, how many and where? Has this happened to any one else? Any ideas for a fix?? Should I even worry about a little play in this connection? The rudder on this boat is mounted on a triangular fin which is just aft of the prop which shaft comes out of a little shelf in the back of the keel (if you can visualize that) Thanks for any ideas |
