In the region France, Spain we saw many 50ft+ boats on yachtworld and more sites, Then a friend wanted to buy one, brokers were not reachable in the weekend so he jumped in the car and let me look on internet etc. What happened? Most boats were already sold. I asked them why they didn’t remove...

Well the voltage regulator didn’t fix the problem. I got in touch with flightsystems and send the voltage regulator to them and yes it was broke. The guy who worked there was very helpful. After receiving the regulator back it run for 30 sec and then I heard a electrical failure and for sure the...

Unfortunately it’s not only replacing the tachometers. I renewed all the gauges and I thought the tachometers were simple to change. In many cases the tachometer is feed by the W output on the alternator. Our alternators on our 6v92 didn’t had that connection. The tachometers in the line of all...

Well the dash panels were in bad shape, the instruments were old and I like new touchscreens. This 500 is for the first time a boat that we like. Most previous boats I own after a year ownership I knew that that boat ain’t the one that suits my preferences. So every boat became a bit bigger. But...

Overall it was a really nice project. You can change the carbon fibre for glass fibre layer and add some pigment. Options enough. When i ever make a test with adding a coating i will post the results and maybe one of you guys will test sooner and when you do, please post your results. For now...

While preparing the switch panel, it is a story apart. To make the panel was the same way as the other panels but now I have to assign a function word above the switch. I called so many sticker shops but the letters I wanted were to small (4mm high). The only solution they came up with was a...

To protect your plate when you’re gonna saw the panel, tape your whole plate. Also it protects for burst and cracks while drilling. I use metal drills and saws. In my project I wanted not only new panels, I also wanted new gauges, switches etc etc.

The flaws you can get are like scratches. Didn’t figure out yet what causes them (maybe the epoxy mix wasn’t mixed good). The flaws can be restored. An expert told me the best thing you can do after is to sand the whole plate and use a transparant coating on top. I didn’t had the time to do...

Now it’s time to make your carbon fibre plate. Make sure your working area is dust free. Have your plastic spatula by hand. Use gloves. Put a sort of wooden piece where you can place your spatula on nearby your working area. Put a bit less then 1/3 of your epoxy mix on the glass plate and...

It’s now time to make the epoxy. I use slow hardener for a relax time to work. First weigh all your layers to determine the weight of epoxy to make. I rather have some epoxy left then to short so I added a 10% of weight more. Now mix the hardener very very good. Take your time to do this.

In the long period of waxing you can prepare the carbon fibre and the glass fiber. Preparing the carbon fibre is a stressful thing because the carbon fibre fabric is easy to mess up. I used 200gr/m2 carbon fibre. When ordering the carbon fibre make sure you have a good shop that cut the carbon...

Oké Guys, posted tutorial in another thread. http://www.clubsearay.com/index.php?threads/how-to-make-your-own-carbon-dash-panels.104304/

This tutorial about making your own carbon panels is maybe the easiest way to make these panels but be aware, with this proces you can get some flaws in the panels. Luckily when you see the end result the panel looks awesome overall. I made photos during the process from different size of...

Hello all, one of the things why we fell in love of our 500da was the layout from the dashboard. It’s almost a cockpit from a plane. When we signed the owners contract I start to fantasise what I gonna do with the dash when our ship arrived in the Netherlands. Definitely it would be one of the...

Gonna write you a tutorial this weekend. It’s really a easy thing to do. Just recieved the axiom 12+rv. Panel above I am in doubt for a screen for an axis camera or another axiom. Looking for another steering wheel too on carbon

Rewiring is easier then you think. All the gauges need 12/24V ignition and ground wire. You can make a loop. The same with backlight wire. Then all gauges need a sensor wire. When you take old gauges out mark the Sensor cable and you are oke. when you replace the panel with the switches, just...

Almost finished our dash. Made the panels from carbon fibre with epoxy on the wet glass way.

Funny, a week before you post this I took the icemaker out. Didn’t made a picture at that time but now I made... A lot of storage space, just for me and nothing in it for my girl :)

The estimated date for my axiom 12+ rv was 5 may. This morning I got email that that deliveries should recommence on or around: Jul 21, 2021. I got crazy. I started researching again on internet and somehow I clicked on page 8 from google search and clicked on link on top from another UK shop...

Same here in Europe. Tachometers VDO, normally in stock else 5 days from warehouse Switzerland, now 4 weeks. Raymarine axiom 12+ RV, here in the shops in Netherlands they say that Raymarina can’t give exact delivery dates due processor availability problems. Ordered the axiom in the UK where...
