Re: Water Tube connection
I had a similar problem, the piece disintegrated. For an interim fix I used a SharkBite fitting available at any hardware store. I would not use this as a permanent replacement due to the conditions

Re: Furling motor brushes
Thanks Kelly and Ryan for the information! These worked perfectly in our Leroy Somer MBT86M Main Furler and Outhaul motors. Our main furler stopped working under any load at the end of last season.

After consideration of the many options and suggestions, I did a cheap and easy installation with schedule 40 PVC and standard fittings. If it doesn’t hold

Re: Standing rigging on 54
Oliver
I am replacing all standing rigging, including turnbuckles. They are from 2009.
Regarding price, you can call Laetitia Boudon from ACMO ( laetitia@... ) and get a quote for your model and

Water Tube connection
We wanted to change the solenoid valve for the forward toilet and lost that part which is inside the plastic connector/tube. Without it water is dripping. Does anyone have an idea if there is a chance

Re: Stuffing box drainage path
If you provide a path, water will flow to the lowest part of the bilge. This does not have to be a limber hole though that is the fastest form of transport. ,You can use something absorbent to form

Re: Stuffing box drainage path
Hi Kent,
try healing on the opposite tack and bringing the water back to the middle. Lay some sponges there to catch it before it disappears to the other side

Re: Stuffing box drainage path
Thanks Danny. I’ve tried that and if I twist into a pretzel and stand on my head I can get most of it on the starboard side, but not even close on the port side.

Re: Stuffing box drainage path
Hi Kent,
I have a paddle wheel speed transducer that I swap for a blank when I leave the boat on the mooring to avoid it getting clogged up with marine growth. The swap always results in a few litres

Re: Stuffing box drainage path
Hi Danny,
If it’s leaking when we set out, I fix it. If it starts leaking while on passage, (and it has done this twice in 10 years), I’ve just kept an eye on it until I get to port. Both times

Re: Stuffing box drainage path
Thanks Mark. I guess they drilled through the shower pan into the space below? I have an alarm but have to pump by hand or with a 24v hand-held Pump. So far the worst it’s been was 3-4 liters

I share Danny's surprise, but maybe we are just lucky. We have had water through the bow thruster but only when we have
