As a professional marine mechanic I thoroughly enjoy and appreciate all of your insight and knowledge on new products and electrical systems. I hope you continue to put these out to the public to help all of our fellow boaters out there stay safe and ahead of the game
Thank you Tommy.
Hi Jeff, I was looking at a video of a Gulfstar 49 for sale. The agent said there were 4- 800w Solar Panels on the boat. Have you ever heard of an 800w Solar Panel ? The highest I've seen is 440w-460w by LG. I look forward to hearing back from you and hope you and your family had a Great Christmas ‼️
Incredibly useful. Thanks. One minor addition, however. I used to swear by Garmin and had it on my boat in Canada and had used it on charters in Europe. I have since, however, sailed my boat down the coast to Mexico and am now in Central America. The Garmin chart chips are horribly expensive and consistently inaccurate, once you leave the US - miles out in many cases and in other areas simply lacking details. Conversely, the Navionics charts on the simple tablet ap has been consistently (pinpoint) accurate. Had I not had the Navionics to compare my Garmin chartplotter to, I would have lost my boat (and possibly my life) on the rocks by now. I am watching this video to help decide what I replace my (perfectly serviceable) Garmin chattplotter with, for my next leg south.
Hi Stephen, heard the similar feedback from other boaters in those cruising areas. Hopefully Garmin resolved this when they purchased Navionics and integrated some of Navionics vector charts into BlueCharts. Does anyone have the latest Garmin charts for that area?
@@PacificYachtSystems I have not come across anyone with the latest Garmin charts so I cannot comment. However, among the long distance/circumnavigator crowd we come across, there is consistent respect for Navionics. Many also run OpenCPN on a laptop, with radar etc fed to the laptop.
Simply, Thank you. I been involved in a multi-year refit the updated info is a godsend. Well done, at this point I'm installing 32" stanchions and hard rails (wife is not a great swimmer). The AIS with MOB tracking that broadcasts really got my attention! Standard Horizons VHF had the AIS years ago but without the MOB function. THANKS AGAIN. Bob
I guess Im asking randomly but does someone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account..?
I somehow lost my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me
@Avery Roman instablaster :)
Ive watched every single video on your channel. I’ve learned so much. Thank you. If I’m ever in BC I’m gonna buy a PYS audit.
Look forward to meeting you!
Again very insightful Jeff - thank you for sharing your experience - the feedback is always helpful.
Excellent!
great work
Thanks Jeff,
I discovered your series about 'Basic Marine Electrical' last week and watched them all and learned a hip of things (also that I am a 'cut corner' kind of guy...)
I am starting now a quite big rewiring job on a sailing yacht and your advises will be very helpful.
We got quite an extensive package from B&G, from radar to MFD's to sonar to autopilot and and and...... in a scale 1 to 10 (where 1 is easy), what is your opinion to mount all of it by my self? (I am not an electric engineer lie your self but used to do things on board in the last 20 years).
Not the installation on the top of the mast or running wires, but the configuration of the all system and common small mistakes that compromise the functionality of the all package. (for example the max. length of cables from instrument to back bone....)
Sorry for my complicated way of explaining my self, English is not my first language).
Congratulation again for your skills to explain concepts to simple people.
My boat will be sure better and more functional/SECURE thanks for your advises.
Any comment from your side will be really appreciated.
Best regards
Andrea Spinoglio
Thanks for the feedback and glad to know that our CZcams content is valuable to you. On the DIY scale of 1 to 10, installing a navigation system should be about a 5. Where things get complicated is when the products have some sort of troubles and they should work but don’t. Quickly troubleshooting and diagnosing that the fault lies with the product and not the installation can be frustrating and time-consuming. As a rule of thumb, I’d suggest to follow the instructions. This means, don’t take short cuts even though it might be tempting because you figure it will “save” you time.
If you get “stuck” at one point, bring an expert onboard and have them review what you’ve done. They might be able to quickly discern where the troubles lie. We often assist DIY owners by providing guidance at the outset of the project and then confirming that the work was done properly near the end.
Good luck with your project!
Will you do a new one in 2019, this one of 2017 was nice but in 2 years many things changes. Thanks for all your good advises and great video.
Hi Andre, we are currently working on creating more content so stay tuned! In the mean time, check out our newly revamped website at www.pysystems.ca as we have added more content and information on there :)
Thanks for your interest and support of us here at PYS.
share your softcopy persentation ?
I'm going to show my lack of knowledge here... But, why spend a ton of money on a MFD/Chartplotter when you could have a few disposable tablets here and there. (I understand that the MFD would be more durable and have buttons for navigating the menu. Are there compelling reason beyond that though?)
Good question. For reasons of reliability and safety, my recommendation is that all boaters should at least have some sort of wired GPS and potentially chartplotter, even it's only 4" or 5" display.
