Thank you for your thoughts and input. I will dig deeper and let you know what I find.

HiPorter; Canyou please explain how you run the barnacle buster through the systems. I'minterested in the exact process you use. Also since this is an acid, does anyone have any input on the

Wehave the 150 L/hr unit and can run all systems requiring raw watersimultaneously without any issues. I am not aware of any designrelated performance issues with the raw water distributionmanifolds.

Thanks Mark & Bill. I guess if I had to abandon ship and grabbed my Iridium phone, I could call for help. Harder if you have to have a phone too. Kent S/V Kristy SM 243

Duane, I had both the genoa and ballooner sheaves replaced when I bought my SM this past July before I sailed it up to the Chesapeake. If I were you, I would change them both while you are up there

Kent, It looks likeyour place in GA has minute for a little bit less than mine in FL. As an FYI –we connect our Iridium phone directly to the ships computer and use it as amodem (not
