Been getting my memory back S.A. a bit of a rough landing but ok
Second wind gen same as the first plus my silent winds blades have a arrived..
The second Air X 400 I have was a land base unit works fine the only difference is is the marine versions are powder coated .
As I'm going to strip it I'll powder coat the housing so Ill have a pigeon pair.
Doing the boat has been therapy for me slowly regaining my memory after a fork lift accident and a domino effect with my head going through a car wind screen
Looks like what I whispered to someone many years ago is on line and working Thank you phoenix star for your help

The one I had like that vibrated a times, chattered and made a noise. Nothing like the usual whistle and whine. I told a US friend about it and she said she fixed hers by loosening the pinch bolts and lifting the unit up the mounting pole a bit. That fixed mine too.

puzzled my way back as usual Mc Nautical got to the tiller and then I remembered writing about a boat without a tiller 14 years back > me
Me and a fork lift had a disagreement the forklift won for over 14 years I've had a few other as as well
Yes S.A. I think Ill just two pack it
Phoenix star Yes I can see what you mean on my marine version the yaw would have been hard up on the pole and transferred the noise. Ive one set of silent wind blades.. Ill set the voltage to 13.6 volts to suit lithium batteries





Have not had much time as works busy so it's slowed thing up some

Hi HG

Good to see you back

Driftwood looks great but it looks like you are missing a mast

Are you going to try her with one and see how she goes

She's rigged sloop rig now Donk.
once the solar arch , binimi and windgenorator is added I suspect she will be well balanced for cruising
