Joerg, That would be great to see the pics. Our single 18 line is not easy to deploy/put away so we end up using it much less than we would like. What do you do with the storage block/tackle when the

Thanks, I understand the issue, but since we’re getting a 50, I didn’t know the locations of the speed paddle wheel, or the depth transducer. I was just repeating what another owner posted a few

Matt, They are talking about your knot meter transducer where it goes through the hull bottom. Don't know if you have a paddlewheel style, but that's the bit. Remove the paddlewheel, like you would do

Hi Eamonn, The other replies are correct that there are no connections at the neoprene hose that would leak oil. I noted in your description that you said the leak rate was "50ml/hr of run time."

Scott, the runners on my boat are in two parts. Part one comes down from the mast and ends in a loop 1 m above the deck and is tensioned with a block and tackle to the base of the shrouds with a snap

Last year I paid about EURO2,500 via a NEW CALEDONIA dealer plus installation. Can confirm NO noise; NO vibration at all – it is mounted on the solar arch. Best Regards Teun SV AMELIT A54

Joerg, Great article, but it seems some of the photos are missing. I am curious how the "backstay extension" works. I simply have a pair of 18m long 10mm kevlar lines that I keep on the stanchions

Yes, this has worked for me and if the depth is 10 meters I can see out about 30 to 40 meters in front of me, if the depth is 70 meters I can see usually see out about 80 meters. This gives me enough

I wish I knew. Help, somebody! ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

I wouldn't trust a little block like that. Our dyneema runners when in use go from the mast at the attachment point of the inner forestay and connect to a 2:1 polyseter rig with the a fairly large

The various suggestions to identify the leak are, of course, germane. This does sound to me, though, like the upper shaft seal is leaking - it drips down in a subtle way and it's hard to figure out

Hi Bill, Paper towels are good. However they also absorb water. If there is some water nearby they will confuse the issue. Oilzorb pads do not absorb water. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super

When I have an unknown leak, I cover the area with oilzorb pads. and check the engine and tranny every 15 minutes. It is easier to find the approximate area where the oil is coming using the oil

Hi Alex, Yes, it’s the only way to have goodaccess. I had the same issue with mine when I changed the High-pressure hose. In the cockpit compartment (on the forwardside), below the

Eamonn, I was getting a small amount of oil which would pool (we are talking a thimble full or so) on top of the c-drive. What I found was two issues: 1) one of the hose from the reservoir was

Bill, Thanks a lot that help, - as always youradvices is very precise! I was thinking about it, but I thoughtabout when wintering the Boat in water. In this case it’s not possible. Igot now

Alex, Maybe I can help. High Pressure hose goes to the Control panel. Sometimes they are secured in the engine room without enough slack to pull the panel out. -- Best, Bill Rouse Yacht School

Ruedi, He is referring to a Speed Transducer fitted in a through-hull fitting. You do not have one, unless your 54 has been changed. However, you do have a Depth Transducer fitted in a through-hull
