I can check that today Thu, 23 May 2013 11:19:03 GMT drifter54 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nordica20/message/1561 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nordica20/message/1561 ... ================================================================= The only schematic I've found and have is for the Renault Diesel, not the Nordica itself, Wed, 22 May 2013 23:49:21 GMT paulandtrena http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nordica20/message/1560 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nordica20/message/1560 got a feeling I know the answer, but is there an electrical schematic out there anywhere for the Nordica 20?

Likely the fittings do the trick for most of that.I Tue, 21 May 2013 19:47:26 GMT Brun Sauvignon http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nordica20/message/1558 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nordica20/message/1558 Very interesting topic.. I was completely unaware of this potential problem regarding stainless steel reacting in such way in salty sea water...I was Tue, 21 May 2013 10:28:29 GMT tricorn@... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nordica20/message/1557 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nordica20/message/1557 Hmm While this sort of thing is undoubtedly helped along by electrolysis It is actually a well documented probelm with the use of even the best marine SS Mon, 20 May 2013 18:37:51 GMT markofsandhill http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nordica20/message/1556 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nordica20/message/1556 Because of the banana-shape of the rudder, my Autohelm needed to be further aft (actually outboard of the boat) in order to get the distance from hinge-line Mon, 20 May 2013 17:32:13 GMT H.T. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nordica20/message/1555 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nordica20/message/1555 Looks like a classic case of electrolysis. A similar thing happened to my Nordica 16 and it turned out the culprit was a boat three slips over who was using a Mon, 20 May 2013 12:06:08 GMT tricorn@... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nordica20/message/1554 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nordica20/message/1554 I just uploaded some photos of the bottom rudder fitting (the boat side) This is in better condition than the rudder fitting (which my friend has as he has Sat, 18 May 2013 13:37:49 GMT tricorn@... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nordica20/message/1553 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nordica20/message/1553 Looks good!, you went with a block and an undertiller mounting.
