How about an aluminium bushing up front of single hole, fill the bow with epoxy/ chopped glass to distribute the load and a stainless back plate at the inner end. In would run a single 10mm dyneema through with a simple "celtic diamond knot" inside. The compartment is drained and already wet...

@money drain and @Zonker sorry, yes it's attaching the bobstay as in the title - with a glass tube, are you suggesting I go straight though the bow from side to side or just straight forward out from the bow and set a dimond knot or similar on the inside? The compartment is allready drained as...

Does anyone know a good product to fit a bowsprit to the bow? I've added extra lamination for streangth but I need an actual fitting/chain plate/u-bolt/ bow eye .... Boat is 38ft, I'll fly a 75m2 code from it, other gear is specified to 1.5 ton of working load.   I guess an Wichard U-bolt...

Hmm - the manual for Garmin GNX is not very detailed, I do not have a garmin plotter, do you think I can plug the SD into my vulcan B&G plotter, or do you think I need to get the Garmin network updater cable/ card reader?

Perfect thank you! I'm feeding H5000 analogue wind and speed, but there is also alot of sensors on the N2K bus, GPS/ Heading/ Heel & trim/ Rudder ref etc. but if I understand you correct, selecting the H5000 processor as the  source in Garmin for all values should keep the Garmin from...

If I use a garmin GNX 120 with a B&G H5000 system - can I feed the garmin calculated data for true wind (speed/ angle/ direction) from H5000 or will the garmin display try and make it’s own calculations? What about AWA, speed, headings and so on - will garmin read “raw” data or with H5000...

Thanks @LeCanard am I reading you correct that  TX_A (-) and TX_B (+) should be connected to Input signal and return and if not working - try the other way around? I've tried both -  TX_B (+) to Signal and  TX_A (-) to Return looks like some kind of connection established, but I still get a...

Thanks, the H5000 is the sending side, not the the receiving one. I dont think there is a setting for checksum for NMEA 0183 in nor H2000 nor H5000 though. Garmin looks really nice, but I'd prefer to get B&G displays to be able to display targets/polar data etc. out of my H5000 Performance...

I’m trying to link my B&G H5000 CPU to my H2000 20/20 displays via NMEA 0183 (either via the performance processor or the NMEA FFD). My H5000 CPUS has …. #1:                       TX_A (-) #2:                       TX_B (+)   H2000 Performance processor has … (#21:                  ...

@MultiThom and @solosailor my spinnaker halyard is a fractional halyard (Seaqust Prima 38) the mast is pretty stiff (carbon) and I do have pretty powerfull 48:1 backstay - but still with the  fractional code zero - do think the backstay along with a grinded single halyard alone (no cascade at...

I’m getting a 65% code for next season, what is my best option to get enough luff tension? I have 2 spinnaker halyards, I’d prefer not to go to 2:1 as I use both for spinnakers, but perhaps that is my best option? If I do go 2:1 can I realistically hoist a spinnaker from it - or will that leave...

I'll try and have a go at my hard over time, I haven’t changed it since first commissioning  I have an ultrasonic speed sensor, so to me a fould paddle wheel is not the problem. @BobJ cruising speed - are sure you adjust the correct one? There is both cruising speed under "Steering > Limits...

@BobJ I was recently told a typical TWA correction table to start out with was ... TWS 5 10 15 20 25 30 TWA offset -5 -2 3 5 6 7 +/- some degrees As course (not heading) is used for TWA and leeway is a factor in course, make sure you have your heeling sensor and leeway constant calibrated...

Still what I’m after is not numbers - it’s what to look for and how to adjust - I’m not lacking hours on the water ... but I just don’t know where to start - my boat seam to be very active on the helm and snaking more than it would stealing by hand - where do I start? Response - rudder gain -...

@BobJ as this is for IMOCA 60 it’s not for us, but there is some useful info in here if you haven’t read it https://www.blur.se/images/H5000-Pilot-Advanced-User-Info.pdf

@BobJ my boat is a Prima 38, 38ft, 6500kg with an L shaped fairly wide bulb keel and a fairly large spade rudder - but if you let go of the helm, she will find her own destination on the chart and turn to it very quickly. I think my drive is the T1. Pilot obviously H5000. I’m happy to share my...

I keep reading about how the top solo sailors have an intimate relationship with their autopilots which would most likely make their wives ask them to reprioritize their time if they knew. I’m reading article after article telling me how to  master the pilot, however they all seam to start with...

Thanks - I reached out to Tinley a couple of years ago,  by then they couldn't help me, I tried again last week, but still havn't had an answer. 

Thanks, I think our needs are slightly different. From what I understand you´re running H2000 as you main instrument system and you’re trying to complement it with additional data. I’m trying to scrap my H2000 processor and go to H5000. All I’d like to keep is my three mast 2020 displays. They...

The displays do not take NMEA0183 as far as I know - the old H2000 performance processor should be able to take NMEA0183 but I'm not sure which sentences it would accept. Also I would prefer tu run only one processor and remove the old H2000 and H2000 performance processor completely if possible.
