MessageI will assume, you are referring to a Cape Horn Windvane system. The Cape Horn mounting arrangement can be varied at the factory to fit either a Flicka...
Does anyone have a good source for the dome and reading light bulbs for the Flicka or their specification. I have a later model Flicka (1989). I keep getting...

What I was trying to say was that if you were building from new and used these new 12vdc lights you could use shore power when tied up and battery power when...
Bill: You may want to telephone Yves Gelinas or Eric at Cape Horn and ask them to give you an estimate of the cost of unit if the group purchases 5 units, 10...
I just finished calculating the rudder area of the Flicka and the center of pressure of the rudder, i.e. the center of lift. The rudder area is 6.38 sq. ft....
My point is that with 12 volt lights (any 12v lights) you are already able to use your lights both via shore power and using your batteries providing you have...
Ahhh, now I understand. You see, on my (very small and cheap) charger it says "not for use as a 12vdc power supply". I never thought of using the charger thru...
I am writing an explaination of how I derived the trim tab area based on the rudder area and moment arm. I will post this later. The area of the trim tab as...
I confused (per usual). Everything I've read said the trim tab rudder shaft HAS to be 90 degrees to the waterline. I've never understood why this is stated so...
Phew, I'm glad that got cleared up. I had just redone my whole system, eliminating a converter more typical of campers, dumping my little small cheap battery...
Flickaguy: You are not confused, just miss informed. The ideal case would have the trim tab 90 degrees to the water and the rudder would be 90 to the...

Hal, Maybe your local plexiglass supplier. On the web, try: See halfway down the page: http://palimpsest.stanford.edu/byorg/abbey/an/an12/an12-7/an12-709.html...

Has anybody out there experimented with electric motors for your tender? We really don't use the tender much, just for brief trips back & forth to shore when...
