B49 transmission
I have had my b49 for 3 seasons. I had similar shifting issues. Had several yards and mechanics check linkage to no avail. Finally a yard manager adjusted one pin setting at the shifter. Since then it has worked flawlessly. You might try that. I suspect original pin setting from factory was never right.

A boat sailed into our YC for a few days.. A couple, sailed over from Europe. All they had by the wheel was one IPAD in watertight casing and a really cool removable mount. I think they told me they used Navionics app. Made mental note to look into it when considering upgrades. I use Samsung devices but I am sure it's all similar. I wonder if u can bring NEMA and radar and autopilot data into a tablet via blue tooth or NFC and make it a smart display.. I can just imagine this set up - 2 tablets on Navy station, on rotating mounts (landscape or portrait modes) and blue tooth keyboard on Navy station -1 tablet in watertight casing by the wheel diverse, cost effective, redundant system that can be used for navigation communication and entertainment while having a very small footprint and relatively inexpensive comparing to cost of the display heads. ------ Original Message ------ Received: 11:51 PM EDT, 08/30/2015 From: Scott <jbi...@gmail.com> To: Beneteau Owners <benetea...@googlegroups.com> Subject: {Beneteau Owners} nav apps on phones or tablets I know this topic is more hot stove league stuff when lots of us have our boats on the hard, but I haven't seen an updated discussion for a while (if i missed this thread, pls let me know).

I have iNavX app on my iPad. Good for a backup, however: - Useless in bright sunlight. - Useless if one is wearing polarised sunglasses. Regarding the chart plotter screen flickering problem, had the same with my Raymarine E-series classic displays. After much hair pulling, what solved it once and forever was powering both chartplotters from a power conditioner (Intervolt unit). I had low voltage alarms from the Seatalk bus until I injected 12 VDC directly into the bus instead of relying only on the autopilot to provide power to the bus.

We have used Navionics on our iPad and iPhone for years with a Bad Elf GPS. This enables us to save on data costs. We have the traditional Raymarine system in the cockpit, including AIS. That said, we also use Marine Traffic app to track ships.

Eugene, You connect 12 VDC from your batteries to the input of the power conditioner and the output of the power conditioner (via a fuse) to your chart plotter(s). It’s that simple. The power conditioner (see the attached info) will do two things: a) make sure the powered equipment is fed constant voltage (12.5V or 13.6V depending on the switch) and b) stop any voltage ‘ripples’ which may be in your DC system from affecting the chart plotter. According to my Raymarine dealer, chart plotters are sensitive to those ‘ripples’ in the DC voltage and unexpected things can and do happen. Whether or not they should be that sensitive is another question, but apparently that is the situation. Personally, I would have expected the chart plotters to have some sort of voltage conditioning circuit internally. I can not say if the problem is inherent to Raymarine product only, or even to E-series classic models only. At first I was sceptical, but I also had this nagging problem where both my chart plotters (E80 at the helm and E120 at the nav station) would occasionally have their screens flicker to black and back, without actually rebooting the units themselves. This would also happen in the pen, when the boat was on shore power, so no question about low voltage as the dealer first suggested. After 8 months of my complaints, servicing the E120 twice with all kinds of boards replaced and what not and after I threatened legal action unless they gave me new replacement units under warranty, the dealer brought his own Intervolt unit and rigged it temporarily into the system. Much to my surprise (but apparently not his), the problems magically disappeared. Today I have one 20 A Intervolt unit power both my chart plotters and another powering my DC fridge/freezer compressor. I use the 12.5 V setting. It was tempting to use the smaller and cheaper 10 A model, but some equipment (like fridge compressors) has higher inrush current and the 20 A model runs cooler and is apparently more efficient. Works like a charm. Btw, I have no vested interest in Intervolt and I’m sure there are other similar brands on the planet which will do the same thing. Hope this helps you.

I find the hot water begins to have that rotten egg smell in July or August most years. When we run out of water in one tank, I add about 1/2 cup of water and 10 gallon of water and run about 5 gallons through the hot water line to the head sink. I let it sit 3-4 hours then flush with fresh water 2-3 times. I have two 60 gallon tanks, so I fill for about 5 minutes before I flush. I'm guessing about 4 gallon/minute rate.

THe boat is 7 years old. Great Boat. We motor sailed to Newport at the weekend, when we arrived we were looking for a mooring and put the transmission in neutral. I could not get the transmission in forward. It did not click in. after a while it did. Also when we arrived at Block the same thing happened. I checked the linkages at the transmission and at the lever. That was OK. Any ideas? Thanks, Bob |

Bob, When you say you checked the linkages at the tranny and at the shifter did you manually operate the linkage at the transmission? If so did it fully engage? I have seen that sort of behavior when the clamp aound the outer part of the shift cable has become a little loose at one end or the other. The result is that part of the movement of the lever at the transmission is lost on moving the outer sheath of the cable and so the transmission sometimes does not get properly engaged.

Rebuild is about 1200 new is around 1600 to 1700. Rebuilds do not last. Be sure to put a new flex plate at the same time FLETCH Sent from my Samsung device -------- Original message -------- From: Bob Frew <rf...@snet.net> Date: 2015-08-31 10:52 AM (GMT-05:00) To: Beneteau Owners <benetea...@googlegroups.com> Subject: {Beneteau Owners} B49 Transmission THe boat is 7 years old. Great Boat. We motor sailed to Newport at the weekend, when we arrived we were looking for a mooring and put the transmission in neutral. I could not get the transmission in forward. It did not click in. after a while it did. Also when we arrived at Block the same thing happened. I checked the linkages at the transmission and at the lever. That was OK. Any ideas?

Take a long look at an Espar heater. They are safe, not too difficult to install. They hydronic model will supply heat and hot water. IMHO far better than a propane heater. Sent from my Samsung device -------- Original message -------- From: Steve Mitchell <st...@stevem.net> Date: 2015-08-31 12:32 AM (GMT-05:00) To: Beneteau Owners <benetea...@googlegroups.com> Subject: {Beneteau Owners} 311 propane heater install I have a 2000 311 that has an AC-only heat pump cooling/heating solution, which is not terribly useful when on the hook or elsewhere without AC power. There's no other source of cabin heat, and I'm in the Pacific Northwest.... So, I'm looking at installing a propane cabin heater, potentially a Dickinson Newport model P9000 which has a single thru connection for both fresh air and exhaust. First question is if anyone else with this vintage 311 has added a heater of any kind, and any tips you can pass on? I have no idea where I will site it (thinking starboard on the v-berth wall, but boy is the propane and power a long ways away..) nor where to poke through. Second question is if any folks with a 311 have a factory installed heater, and any details about where it is mounted and model would be appreciated! -- Steve Mitchell2000 Beneteau 311 - Gracehttp://www.stevem.net/ -- Largest Beneteau group, over **1108** members and growing.

Over the years we have found a remarkable solution for cabin heat. It is a simple piece of ambience that will heat a 411 nicely: a Wheems and Plath hurricane lamp which when burning refined lamp paraffin will definitely warm the cabin.

I have 2 Gps charplotters, Garmin monochrome on nav station and color SITEX by the wheel One night last week, the screen on SITEX started blinking on and off. Then it stopped blinking and remained. I was preoccupied and didn't give it much thought that day. Yesterday I went out again get some facts and here is what happened while sailing (engine off)... As I turned SITEX on it started blinking with battery switch on BAT1 As I turned bat switch to ALL it started blinking faster at twice the rate As I turned bat switch to BAT2 blinking rate became different from the previous two settings As I turned on the engine all went back to normal. I did this twice with identical results Prior I noticed another 2 anomalies anomalies... 1. on occasion but not too often... my B&G1000 displays by the wheel would lose some data and showed nothing. Wind speed, wing angle, SOG would display "--". Not with any consistency or predictability. I would restart the system and things went back to normal. 2. With B&G at night I had to turn the light on one head and all lit displays up. Now, SOMETIMES, they all go on and SOMETIMES I need to press the light button individually. I just cannot tie all this together. Perhaps someone can shed some light (pun intended) thank you Eugene |

You should be able to download the guide for your specific Sitex unit. There appear to be a number of reasons for the unit blinking, including when the GPS data is not valid.

It sounds to me like a low voltage situation. Check the voltage at the instrument with the engine off and running. A bad connection etc can be hidden by the increase in voltage from the alternator when the engine is running.
