    Hello, I also have a Merry Fisher 895 Offshore. It's really a beautiful boat. However, what particularly bothers my wife and me are the 'splashes' or water noises that occur at the bow of the boat. Even with little wind, small waves hit the bow of the boat and cause noises that hardly let you sleep. How do you deal with this? Can anything be done about it?" Would you like me to elaborate on any part of the translation or provide any additional information about the topic?

    • @TheRudder
      @TheRudder 16 дней назад

      Yes it is a problem. Brooke calls it tippy-tap. We don't have a solution apart from retreat to the mid cab or sleep up top. Not ideal. We just try and pick our days and our anchorages and try and avoid the wind. Otherwise good ear plugs. Sorry I don't have good solution.

    Great video. Have you ever thought about using and anchor ring ( a sliding weight that you can fit round the anchor chain)? This way you can reduce the anchor circle significantly and anchor safely in tighter spaces. I think there is a Kiwi product called an anchor buddy that does the same sort of job. Just a thought. Great that you have two starter batteries. Sensible if you are a long time away from shore power. Especially when the sun isn’t shining to top up with solar! It of course it is always sunny in Queensland!

    After owning the 1095 2023 for now for 16 month, I have realized how cheaply made these boats are. The only things I like and trust are the Garmin electronics and the Mercury systems.

      Definitely can't get on the plane with one engine. I have cruised at 6kn with one engine. Going with the tide it is more efficient but if you are against the tide or wind the other engine has to do so much work that is really is the same. Plus the steering is quite heavy with an engine out of the water.

    Hi Damian, Great mods and updates just a few quick questions - why did you move the SUP holders from Portside ? as I'm going to fit mine at that side. The water heater looks great and my wife is keen for us to have the hot water option whilst away for a few days. Do you have to but a whole new water unit and if so replace or remove the existing 240 volt one, did you do a video clip on the fitting of the new water heater ? I bought a Kings fridge same type and size and fitted in same spot as yours hopefully we both got this one right, its been super useful so far. There is a cupboard in the second berth I heard you mention installing some shelves, was it easy and any tips as the awkward shape is making it a long unfinished job and a bit frustrating. Thanks again keep the updates coming. Cheers Sam

    • @TheRudder
      @TheRudder 24 дня назад

      Hi Sam, Thanks for reaching out. With the SUP holder on the port side it really did cut down visibility. With it being on Starboard I can see right over it, both standing and sitting. On the other side, because it was further away it blocked out more. Here is the hot water video - ruclips.net/video/PGcqYfo1rYU/видео.html It was a bit painful but not too bad. Our factory heater died so had to be replaced. The shelf in the cupboard is also painful. I didn’t do a video as I’m not a carpenter and it isn’t a great job. I made a template out of cardboard, cutting and shapping until I was happy. Used that as a template. It works but isn’t pretty! Happy boating!

    Another thing that isn't great for the environment is the CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels in large motor yachts. CO2 is now up to ~428 PPM in the atmosphere and is literally causing ocean acidification - carbonating the ocean like a fizzy drink. As a result the plants and animals that use calcium carbonate for structure and protection suffer. Increased ocean acidity slows the growth of their calcium carbonate structures.

    • @blackmancer
      @blackmancer Месяц назад

      Literally in the Cambrian Period CO2 was over 4000ppm and it saw the greatest expansion of life on the planet. The CO2 levels consistently rise each year which suggest it has no direct correlation with human activity or human CO2 production somehow manages to consistently grow regardless of wars, depressions, economic cycles etc. More like it is CO2 coming out of a warming ocean, much like a fizzy drink does as it warms up - more CO2 gets release into the atmosphere.

    Good Video as always but not an option in a UK Marina. Fab docks cannot be fitted. So antifouling is essential to avoid weed and barnacles. You couldn’t really use your boat without marine growth protection. One option I took was copper coat. Expensive but lasts five years even with the boat afloat all year. Just needs a good power wash every year.

It has been a terrible boating season in the UK. Very windy,wet and cool. I had just one or two good trips but not enough to warrant all the costs of keeping a boat berthed, insured and maintained. Plus I am getting on in years now and well into my retirement ! So I have sold my 895. Next year I will spend a few summer months in France without worrying I should be using the boat at that time. I will still take an interest in boating and shipping in general. It was my career many years ago. So I will continue to subscribe to your channel. You post some great content.

      There are basic maps in the watch, not detailed marine charts. You'll still need the plotter. The watch really is an extension of the chart plotter rather than a replacement.

    Hi, I'm kinda new to this whole solar/battery business. Love your videos, they are really great. Wondered if you could ... 1. share main items you bought (other than cables, battery, panel, controller, shunt), 2. what works/or doesn't off the new battery (all AC items other than AC/heat if you have), and does the battery still charge from engine and shore power without issues, what was battery model? thanks in advance!

      Hi, I really can't remember all the details but the kit I bought had nearly everything supplied, wiring, connections etc. I guess the only addition was having a battery monitor (victon) and working out how to wire it in. Everything is working from my accessories battery. I don't have an inverter, everything is 12V. I don't have heat or AC. Lastly batteries can charge from shorepower, alternator off engine or solar.

    They should offer seekeeper ride instead of the zipwake

      Much easier to add zipwake as opposed to seakeeper.

    Hi Guys, great review on the 895. I recently purchased one, I was wondering what modification did you do to allow the captains chair to spin? Thanks Steve

    Hey Damien. Thanks for the great videos. We are based at Raby Bay and are relatively new to the area so now have been to most of the spots you have explored. Just a question as I’m ready to buy a whole new Fusion system with two zones and a sub on one. I’m looking at the RA670 head unit but not sure on the amp. Looking at the Apollo 4 channel. is this the one you installed? Hope to catch up on day. John and Clare boat oki doki.

      @@TheRudder Thanks. Your video helped heaps. I ended up with the Apollo 4 channel. Sounds brilliant and running the cables was a nightmare. Installed in a Glacier Bay cat with twin 250 Yamahas. Regards John

    Appreciate the video. Just curious why you chose the Rocna 10 over the 15? Is it because of the hatch lid sitting over the anchor shank on the 895 S1? I'm gong to upgrade the anchor on my 895 S2 to a Rocna 15 SS which I presume should fit OK as the S2 does not have a lid over the top of the anchor like the S1.

    • @TheRudder
      @TheRudder Месяц назад

      You are correct. The 15 wouldn't fit without some substantial modification. I would also need to reinforce the bow sprite. Would love to go bigger but 10 was as good as I could manage. Let us know how it goes.
