Scan Your User Manuals

[Rowana]

My tip is this -

Scan the user manuals for all your equipment into your computer.

When the originals that you keep on board get soaked (Don't ask), or get oily prints all over them, you can just print out another pristine copy.

Also helps when you need to look up something at home, and the originals are on the boat.

AND - you could offer them to the downloads section on this site if they're popular.

Good Idea!

Here's my list

Autohelm ST1000+
NASA Clipper Echosounder
NASA Clipper Log
Beta BD722 Engine
Technodrive TMC40 gearbox
Furono GP30/35 GPS
Plastimo S series jib furling gear
Swiftec M168 VHF

If anyone wants a copy of anything, just send me a PM with your email addy

If you are willing to offer them to the general Bluemomenting public then I would be delighted to add them to the existing Downloads section on the site - email me them and I will put them up, but send them one file at a time to avoid email overload.

(Or, if you have an FTP client I can send you FTP details)

i wonder what his holiness will have to say about that

The only one which I currently have scanned is

Seafarer 501.

I first scanned it for SBC, but have been surprised by the number of people who have emailed me asking for a copy - the power of google.

BTW - what resolution do peeps scan at? I think that I probably use too high a dpi setting - doesn't matter too much if I'm saving as a PDF - other than slowing down the actual scan.

BTW - I keep all my boat paperwork in a small briefcase which I carry back and forth between home and boat - mind you - I've been known to forget to take it up to the boat!

More than happy to offer them to the Bluemoment falourm users. They are all now pdf files, so if you PM me with your email address, I'll send them to you, or if you prefer, I can bung them on a disk and send it snail mail.
