I have a Raymarine ST6001+ autopilot system. The display on the ST600R is gone, almost blank. I can barely read the display. Looking at the Raymarine website they say the Raymarine S100 wireless remote is compatible with my older system. Has anyone tried switching to the wireless remotes? I...

Faux trampoline Yes, FP made 2 versions, closed bows with fiberglass deck in-between and open version with faux trampoline. Ours is open and the trampoline functions as a spray screen. It really keeps the bow spray from hitting us on the fly bridge while underway. It is not a real trampoline...

Probably not. The route for the cable down from the flybridge to the hulls takes lots of turns. And it depends on where you want to mount the transducer. From the flybridge there are 2 conduits to run cable down stairs. One is located under the helm bench seat on the outboard side. You can...

We just came through there (big pass) last week. We were traveling south for Thanksgiving week from St Pete to Captiva. Going south we elected to go down intracosatal. Coming back up from north we went in big pass and stayed close to beach. (We went inside to stay at Longboat Key Moorings.)...

PS. Cotemar is a great source of information on the FP owners group web page on Cruisers and Sailing Forum

The boat handles extremely well, usually rides on top of the waves at cruising speed (15-16 knots). I don't run on one engine. Always 2 engines but our diesel is cheaper ($2.75/gallon). Trawler speed at 7-8 knots, 1200 rpm we burn 1-2 gallons per hour (total for both engines). Cruise at...

Congrats! Congrats on your purchase. I am not familiar with those waters so I cannot recommend any tips. Regarding the boat, I would say the diesel is the main concern. Apart from the many mechanical issues an old boat may have, the engines and fuel supply are most important. Especially...

Is there an easy way to determine the concentration of antifreeze in the heat exchanger? I changed antifreeze in both engines but I was not able to get all of the old mix out. The drain plugs are seized so I had to suck it out of the radiator cap and open one of the lower hoses to get the...

Fountaine Pajot Trawler Cats Some photos attached

I have 2 banks of AGM batteries in my power catamaran. Each bank is separately located in each pontoon and has 2 AGM batteries. Port side is having a hard time starting the port diesel engine. If I use the combiner switch, the port engine seems to start easier. Question: How do you know...

FP Trawler Cats Twin 135hp diesels burn ave 4.5gph total

Fountaine Pajot Trawler Cats I have a 2002 34 Greenland. Bought it about 3 years ago. Very happy. Our model has 2 owners cabins in each pontoon; double berth aft and head/shower/sink forward. Power is twin Nanni diesels 135hp. Stock power is 65hp; so I am not sure why this boat came over...

I would be interested in a forum to support FP cats or at least a forum for power cats. Anyone else agree?

Barnacle Zapper Recently I heard about an ultrasonic transducer caller Barnacle Zapper. I have trouble with growth on the props; paint doesnt last more than 6 months here in south Florida. Does anybody that lives in a warm water area have experience with this product? Very expensive but the...
