Hello James, the genoa furler that has been installed for 16 years on the Santorin/SM is not available anymore. Jacob is lucky to have one on his Maramu!! Does your genoa furler show problems? With a

When prepairing for a passage of 3000 nautical miles, where you can be stuck with no wind, you fill up with as much diesel you can. It is not fun to be in the middle of nowhere with no possibilty to

I believe ABYC says you must have separate hoses and through hulls for each pump. IN addition what would prevent having the water coming from one hose going back into the boat? You would also not want

When I could not get a "cable lube" I used K-Y Jelly. You can get it or similar product in any drugstore. It works good but more expensive than "cable lube". Vladimir Sonsev SM #345 "Life is Good"

Christian, I am not sure I know what you refer to when you say, "foam plugs." But, let me tell you what I do know about and maybe this will help you: The extra "leader lines will have a small piece

Is it possible to apply either air or water pressure to the PVC in the opposite direction that caused the jam? Perhaps with the pressure applied to you can tug on the leader lines and cables one at a

Eric, I have had some pretty good luck with the Rust Bullet paint used on steel in bilges. Nothing lasts forever of course. There is product called Trailercoat made by Petit (#6981) which is a

A question for those people who carry large amounts of fuel above and beyond the standard tank on the Super Maramu: Why do you do so? Do you actually find you use that much, or is it just a comfort

No worries...I'm sorry we didn't get to meet. It was fairly crowded that night, and we didn't come up with a good plan to find each other. We are still on the dock at Island Water World for a couple
