[Rhodes22-list] connecting Ray Marine ST1000

Peter,
The best way to get "blitzed" on a R22 is with rum.

Chris--

Thanks. In addition to my cell not working in  Edenton, I left my laptop in 
DC.

How to install/wire the auto-tiller  turned out to involve many circular 
discussions. I was trying to follow Bill  Wickman's setup, which is also the 
one in a PS review of auto-tillers.  

But I'm persuaded to install mine as Stan & Mark wanted to all  along, 
using a cantilever bracket that mounts to the cockpit wall/seatback. I  assumed 
the bracket would just be in the way when not using the auto-tiller,  but it 
turns out the bracket's in 2 parts and the bracket itself is removable.  
The cable to the gps (and to an NMEA receiver if I were installing one) is  
wired directly to the inside of the socket for the bracket.  We're using  your 
suggestion for the power plug.

Despite the heat (103 degrees  Friday) my 3rd trip to GB was great. Mostly 
I went down to bring  electronics
& confer on their installation. It was exciting to finally  board my boat, 
even if it is still inside the factory.

Also got out on  Albemarle Sound for some sailing with Stan, who is--of 
course--a laid-back  & very good sailing instructor. Just as fine, finally met 
the remarkable  Rose--indeed, had a dinner of crab-stuffed flounder with the 
two of them at a  place called Waterman's.

I'd been on the R22 3 times before--with Lee,  with you at Annapolis, & 
with Mac McCready and Chris Geankoplis when Chris  was in town a few weeks ago. 
I noticed a pattern: I was always so delighted to  be sailing again after a 
quarter century, and the gear was so foreign to me  (the most sophisticated 
thing I'd ever used was a clam cleat!), that I was too  blitzed by it all 
to absorb anything about actually handling the R22. I think  those were 
necessary preliminary experiences and they certainly were fun, but  I was 
beginning to wonder if I'd ever feel competent on my own. Now I'm very  eager to 
get my boat launched in Apollo  Beach.

Best

P

Someone I cared for
put it to me: Who
do you think you  are?

I went down the list
of all the  many
possibilities

carefully — did it
twice — but couldn't  find
a plausible one.

That was when I knew 
for the first time  who
in fact I wasn't.

I had  NTS electonics install mine at Herrington Harbor North in Deale 
Maryland and I  think they just followed the diagram to connect the wires.  BTW 
I located  my plug for the tiller pillot just under the cockpit bench so it 
is out of the  way and out of the weather and they shortened the cord so I 
didn't have too  much hanging out.

This is Peter Klappert using Stan's Apple computer.  I'm in Edenton and 
we are trying to follow Bill Wickman's suggestions for  connecting an 
auto tiller to a Garmin GPS--in this case the Raymarine  ST1000 to a 
Garmin 541s.

Can it be done without the $100   Garmin starter kit sold by West Marine?

If possible could someone who  has done this call Mark (252 339 0400) or 
me or Stan (252 312 9485) at the  R22 plant?   (My cell doesn't work  here.)

Soon?!

Thanks very  much

P
