Mike, Does Aletes have a disk brake on the drive shaft? Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Mike, My Maramu has a plate mounted just in front of the shift lever warning to never leave the transmission in Fwd. gear while sailing. My boat has a fixed 20” (?) 3 blade prop which can

Who’d of thought there was so much to know about transmissions and their lubrication! Foley website full of interesting information. On a related topic. Dr. Diesel Tip #101 at Foley says DO NOT

To All, Aquarius has received her new sails (Main, Mizzen, and Genoa) from QSails in Turkey. And, I am 100% happy with the final fit, price, quality, and performance of the sails I received.

Hi All, First thanks for all the advice, Especially Bill, Eric, Porter, Thomas,Mark, and Bob, you all are great! We have everything back on line now. Will post some pics to FB later. Bill:

Hi John! If you put a zip tie around the impeller and tighten it it makes it pretty easy to insert the impeller. Start with the zip tie toward the end you are inserting.The zip tie slides off as the
