Pyssel

The PCB is mounted just below the buttons Our Husqvarna dishwasher QB 6221 stoped working and displayed the servicecode 60. The washer stops dishing and the pump empties the washer. After some Googling I found some Guys who have had the same problem  and it indicates overheating. It also seems that many modells from both Husqvarna and Electrolux shares the same control electronics.

I think there is many people like me that don't like to make new holes in their boat, so 3M have made a fantastic solution, Dual Lock, that in many use cases solves the problem. Its a type of Velcro but there is no male/female part. Both parts are same Many of the interior panels in our boat is attached with this fastener. One application was that we wanted to hang the nice George Jensen gauges on the bulkhead/wall but, as said, didn't want to make any new screw holes. The solution was to make a mahogany plate with the screws and then attach the plate with Dual lock to the wall. In order to have the plate close to the wall a cavity was made on the backside of the plate. The cavity was made with a router.

Creating fancy HTML mail with Mac Sometimes You really want to send out a fancy mail that hopefully receives by different operative systems and hardware in a similar way. Start with editing Your source in Your favourite editor, could be MS Word, and then save it as WEB page/HTML.  Then right click on it and open it with Safari.  In Safari, File - Share - Mail contents of this page. This opens up Mac Mail.  In Mac Mail be sure  "Send Web Content" is set to "Web Page" Enter the recipients and click Send In Word it is simple to edit pictures and even add weblinks to pictures and text. This editing will "transfered" all the way to the mail.

Refurbish the Storebro Commander nameplates. The nameplates are manufactured by using a router, carving out the characters/lines, and then the entire plate is painted with a white paint. After that they are sanded so that the white colour only remains in the characters/lines and then afterwards the plate is  finished with several coats of clear varnish. The  problem is that the sharp edge between the characters and the surface makes that the varnish doesn't becomes thick enough,  because of the surface tension . After some years the varnish cracks, at the sharp edges, and the moist raises the varnish and  You have a problem.

Replacing hinge for Jabsco toilet, 37045-1092, lid Sometimes it's easy maintenance, but the hardest thing is to find the right parts. After some Googling I found the part at Hjertmans  with the Jabsco sparepart number 29098-2000

Updating the software for the ST1 to ST NG converter,  Raymarine E22158 The easiest way to find the right software is to visit http://www.raymarine.com  -Support -Software updates  And for this case then -Networking -Seatalk NG converter Since we have an E 120 just I click on the link for E series Classic and the software will be downloaded. Open up the folder where the software "landed"

Swap from toothbrush holder to soap dispenser We really missed soap dispensers, in both toilets, when we bought the boat and thought that a tooth brush holder, mounted at delivery, isn't mandatory. So after some investigation we found the Smedbo HK370 which solved the problem and also cover the old holes for the tooth brush holder.

Adding a NMEA2000 GPS and add an additional cable to E120 So what happens when You add a NMEA2000, N2K, GPS to the network ? Nothing much actually. No conflicts. The E120 is still "hocked" on the old Raymaring RS125 GPS and the  Garmin GMI 10/20  shows the info from the new NME2000 GPS with some additional data compared to the old GPS. The chosen GP:s is Garmin GPS 17X because it was on sale for just 20 €.  It is mounted behind the instrument panel. The picture shows the GPS at the right and the ST converter in the upper part

Improving the looks with a lid The boat is equipped with Berker Minikombi outlets/switches. These are not sold anymore but the series Berker Integro Flow fits. So to improve the looks at the helm I purchased a Berker lid with hinge to cover the 12V outlet. Much better looking, right ?
