Black Max wind direction indicators attach easily to masts and booms on most sailboats and will last for many years.

I have a 7500 w Black Max generator not producing power and it only has 6.2 hours on it.

This small amount is used to create an electromagnet. As the engine begins to turn this electromagnet, moving its electric field, through the stator windings, your generator will produce more power. However, if residual magnetism is lost, your generator will produce no power at startup.

I need the valve lash clearance for the Black Max 3600 generator

Check out the videos. It is normally decided by the engine make, as opposed to which seller put their name on it.

Raymarine 4000 + autopilot. I immediately get an RG Fail message when I engage the autopilot on my Catalina 320 Sailboat.

I am not familiar with your particular model autopilot, but I do know that Raymarine autopilots can be fussy. All must have a compatible gps feeding it, of course. All must have a rudder angle indicator if your auto pilot connects to the wheel or rudder instead of directly to the tiller.

When was wind power first used?

technically, wind was first used to power sailboats thousands of years ago. Heron of Alexandria used wind to power his windwheel in the 1st century, which was the earliest record of using wind to power a machine

Should I buy a Davis Black Max Wind Direction Indicator straight from the manufacturers' website or is it worth looking elsewhere?

They sell them online for $39.99 on their website; however I suggest searching other avenues as I have found other sites that sell the same product for less. Here is one example that sells it for $26.99.

And a second option for $31.50

The string on my grasshog xp gh1000 4, feeds out within 5 mins. What am I doing wrong when I add new string?

Hello, W/D here.

Read all the way through this, with the spool in your hand, before you re-wind the spools. It will make much more sense!

Pull the spool off of the trimmer.
Look on the bottom of the spool. The decimal numbers next to the notches on the edge is your line size (e g. .080). If there are 4 notches, there will be different decimal numbers, indicating that your trimmer can take different line sizes.
Also on the bottom will be arrows, indicating the direction that you will need to wind the line.
Looking at the spool, you'll notice that it is actually 2 spools, and the divider between them has a slot in it. (This will be important in a minute). The section of the spool closest to the bump head is the outer spool, and the spool closest to the machine, with the flat side, is the inner spool.
Insert the proper sized line into the hole in the inner spool core about 1/8", and wind in the direction indicated by the arrows, until the line is just about even with the divider between the two spools, then place the line in the notch that is 180 degrees (on the other side of the spool) from the slot in the divider. When the line is in the notch securely, leave about a 6" tail beyond that, and snip the line.
Wind the outer spool in the same manner, but this time, the line will go into the slot in the divider, then into the notch, and also get a 6" tail.
Feed the tails into the grommets in the trimmer head, square them up, notches to grommets, and snap the spool in.
Push the spool in like you were bumping it to the ground (this frees up the advance for the spool).
Grab the two tails, and give a tug. The line will pull out of the notches and advance about 1".
It's a good idea to clean out the hole where tha spool fits onto the trimmer from time to time, and also to put some graphite dust in the hole every 8-10 times you re-wind the spools, just to keep the mechanism working freely.

Best regards, --W/D--
