[C38] Transmission cable?

[Pierre Patino]

Hi All

Well, we've decided to replace the standing rigging after nearly 14years
banging about San Francisco Bay (since the last time)  so the boat's being
towed to a boatyard where the troubleshooting may continue.Thanks for all
the suggestions though. I will try to be  present when the transmission is
debugged. Also, we're replacing the anemometer, speed and depth transducers
and indicators. We're considering the RayMarine ST60  (

). Any other suggestions are welcome.

When   we get to the bottom of this I will update you all.

More banks to rob...


Cheers
