Re: fitting a Lofrans Royal windlass to my centaur
Thanks, that would be great. I'll give you a shout when I know I'll be passing. Shame this thread wasn't a couple of weeks ago, I was at the RHYC then for the Westerly Rally.

Westerly Oceanmaster 48 Chainplate Failure
Copy of post by vyv_cox on the YBW Forum: "Yesterday I looked at the imminent failure of the rig due to corrosion of chainplates on an Oceanmaster 48. I do not know if any other models in the Westerly range have a similar arrangement but if so I suggest that owners need to check their condition. The...

Re: fitting a Lofrans Royal windlass to my centaur
Some pics would be great, once I have cured the chain piling issue, I'll be looking at the drainage
I have just moved to the Orwell, great to see lot's of Westerlys.

Re: fitting a Lofrans Royal windlass to my centaur
Yep, it will, but I do not often use that berth. and I think it will be far enough aft, to not to make it unuasable when needed. I guess we'll see.TyroSailor wrote: ↑Wed May 30, 2018 11:54 amGood idea to have it over the deepest part of the locker, but won't that interfere with the berths in the fo'c'sle?

Re: fitting a Lofrans Royal windlass to my centaur
Let us know how you get on. I'm currently suffering with the chain piling. I'm trying to move the cahin pipe futher aft so that in falls in to a deeper area of the locker.

Re: Centaur bilge plan
Hi, In my Centaur the bilge compartments are all interconnected and any leak will start to fill them all, which isn't helpful sometimes when trying to find a leak. I have a PSS Seal, which has a vent pipe, initially I fitted the vent too low, which can then allow sea water to syphon in. You didn't m...

Re: Pageant Dinette Table Legs
I would presume Westerly used the same legs for a Centaur. If that is the case the I have the longer leg sitting unused in my office.
If it is of use to you, happy to post at cost.

Re: MD11c engine anodes
I think the MD11C and MD2B are very similar, my old MD2B never had anodes. If your manual does not reference them, I would be surprised if any should be fitted.

Re: Centaur pulling the engine
Hi Joseph, I found that the MD2B was too big to be lifted vertically through the engine hatch, I had to take it into the salon first, and then up and through the companion way. I then used the boom supported by a halyard at the lifting point. Here are some pictures of the process: http://www.westerl...

Re: Outboard for Centaur
Hi Gordie, Hopefully, someone else will pitch in with their thoughts, but here are mine, just to kick things off. As previously noted if primarily to be used as an auxillary then should be a long shaft, with as much of the prop in the water once lowered. My experience says 2.5 will push her around t...

Re: Wiring in Centaur mast
Hi Tyro,
The light itself at least 1m, but I guess sea state and height play a factor.
The light is waterproof, but obviously not the socket end.
Nope, I am afraid there isn't a photocell.
I keep one on board as a backup, should my main lights fail for any reason.
