Thomas,Your post about making replacement of the PVC tube very easy got me to thinking about how this could be done. What if instead of planning to replace the PVC tube, a simple sacrificial flanged

If I understood properly you suggest don’t use zinc in the propeller, isn’t it?

Oliver, Thank you for taking the time to add your wisdom to the discussion. I am very happy with the heavily glassed fibreglass tubes in my boat such as the cockpit drains. It is so nice that by

Dear Amelian brother and sisters: What kind of paint has been used for the faux teak boards? Is there Awlgrip paint colors for the faux teak boards and for the rest of deck? If not what

Craig- my upper flange will be water-tight and glued/glassed to the underside of the deck under the windlass. It fits tightly inside the pipe; thus a water-tight joint unless water can flow upwards.

Scott, Marco says, "No, we did not have a way to suggest wiring, the only option we have available is the PCS for the pump." I believe that one of the wires inside the ethernet cable from the pump is

Hi everybody, the two master pieces made of PVC tube glassed to the hull and deck are the cockpit drains. These pipes are in fact glassed with GRP on their whole outside surface, and then glassed with

Hi all, I've been using the Marco UP6/E pump for domestic water for almost 6 months now. I've been quite happy with it. I regularly check the Mass- and Mass+ switch on my A54 to ensure no electrical

Hi folks, I'm happy owner of Supermaramu 2000 redline #443 ; someone could tell me the right zinc for the propeller thank you Alessandro GRAND CRU #443

Terrific!

Yes! Thanks Gary and Andrew—and Bill. This is SO much easier to navigate and we’re so appreciation to all you are doing to make this a great place to learn and grow and share.

Hi Eric, I would never suggest you were a big man with a big hammer as I described in my very valid warning. I described the man and hammer provided by the Shelter Bay Marina yard against my wishes.

Yes Dan it most certainly does. I had to remove my windlass at one stage and that bolt sheered off. I put the windlass back in place (temporarily) without that bolt and it very noticeably flexed the
