    Hi Mike
    Just out of interest did you replace the engine control panel [revs / water & oil pressure etc] when you put in the Beta?. Do you have the original 4108 control panel [sits near the throttle etc in the cockpit]?
    Cheers

    There is an Atlantic 40 in my Yacht club with a bow thruster. I will ask about it. It is on the hard & I know the owner by sight.

    The above was in 2014-ish

    I never got a bow thruster [as above] but recently [Aug 2021]I had a problem getting out of the marina, so spoke to a local chap whose full keel boat was on our slip [Poole Y C] He told me about his bowthruster. Type = SE 60/185.

    Price was approx £3k fitted locally. He said it is great & even has a remote operating device.

    Thanks to Jeff, Michael, Marilyn & Van for your info & photos.
    I enclose one of Aquarius‘s [old-school]nav station for your entertainment. I hope to upgrade it soon, altho it all works OK.
    Cheers

    (Moderator – at John’s request, I am editing this post to say he has a new panel and it no longer appears this way. March 2018)

    Hi Jeff
    I saw your post re replacing old electronic gear. Can you tell me what you did about installing an instrument control panel in the saloon?.
    I have a lot of old electronic kit on Aquarius [Hull 100] & want to incorporate a main panel.
    Cheers

    Have you checked that both the breaker switches are switched on? On my Nic they are located below the chart table.
    The are heat-sensitive, if the windlass is over-loaded they cut off the electrical power, after which they need to be reset by switching them back on.

    Re rudder head:
    I’d also like to know of anyone who has lifted the deck plate & if so does anyone know of an emergency tiller fitting that goes on the top of the rudder head on the Nic 38?

    Hi Marilyn,
    Just thought I’d let you know that Aquarius is currently having a holding tank made up. A wooden template was made first and now a stainless tank will be made using that. It will go under the stbd forward berth – as on a few other Nics. Cost = approx £2.5K all in.
    I’ll post more info + jpegs when the job is done.
    Cheers

    Hi Andy
    I’ve just bought Nic 38 ketch [Hull No 100] and want to instal a holding tank. The previous owner says one will go under the port forward berth. Do you have the dimms for such a tank? I would buy a custom built one in the UK, given the dimms. My Nic is in Portugal, but I will go to it at Xmas.
    Cheers
