He is at a loss to explain how they could die in 2000 hours. I thought that the rubber material might have decayed in 20 years. Have no idea, yet, what replacements cost. At the generator end, two mounts are close together in the center while on the end with the engine they are at the corners. Any experience with this problem/task?

These are quite easily obtained on ebay in new or slightly used condition for about $30.00. Buy one, buy a spare.

They were supplied with the Lugger, so I'm stuck with them until they die, after which I will replace them with Stewart-Warner. The wheelhouse tach reads 50 RPM lower than the ER tach at 1800. Hopefully, the pyrometer is accurate. Regards, John "Seahorse" Brent Hodges writes: I have a 1988 Albin with these same tach / hour meters.

I have the radios hooked up to different GPS units in case one should die at an inopportune moment. They have independent antennas placed on opposite sides of the boat. Every battery on the boat can be tied into their power supply lines. We have a non-DSC walkie talkie in our ditch kit, right along with our personal locator beacon.

I bought the harbor freight one and it works well but to crimp the 2/0 I had to open up a die to fit using a grinder & metal file (the dies are not that hard). It looks handy to also be used to swage and it comes with enough dies that are easy to modify for other purposes.

Both these systems die early and often. Go visit the "sailrite" web site and look at the "common sense fasteners". Figure a way to use them for your application and then forget about early failures! My Triumph sports car used both these fasteners AND snaps on the convertible top. It also had a zipper on the inside.

I don't have statistics, but, I suspect more people die of a heart attack when cruising than they do sinking... and the cost of an AED is similar to a EPIRB.
