Hi All: I know there are pictures of the hull deck joint/rub-rail structure in the photos section but I can't get that section to work at the moment. Does someone have a PDF or photo of the Amel

Thanks Bill. It's a very curious problem. Duane

Hi, Being the originator of the grease nipple addition I offer the following. My furler was very noisy. When I dis-assembled it I found the grease caked in the housing and not at all in contact with

Thomas and Martin et al. We did ultimately get the situation sorted out it was a 24 V means wiring issue on the trinket and then simply wiring is the thermal sensor on the Genoa. The process does

My two penny worth..... If the gearbox is full of oil there won't be any "pooling" The environment inside the gearbox isn't particularly hostile. Long periods in the sun is hardly "baking" and in any

Hi James, Interestingly, these reduction gears are sold as "permanently lubricated" with gear oil (close, but not generic SAE 90 - you can google the specific oil). HOWEVER, the expected applications

Bill, Good point about the low hours accumulated on a gearbox. Does the replacement of the shaft seals require opening the gearbox? Best, James Alton SV Sueno, Maramu #220

I am pretty sure it doesn't (much) matter which you use. After all, even on a heavily sailed boat we run REALLY low duty cycles on these gear boxes. Think about it, in a really busy day of sailing,

The AC42 is the B&G autopilot computer, not a navigation computer. Our primary charts are on the Zeus, where we have Navionics charts. We do have a second set of charts as a back up--all on
