Re: Headsail furler issues
Adam - Interesting idea from Vladimir - worth popping the motor off the gearbox to see if it works both ways by itself.

Re: Headsail furler issues
It can be mechanical problem in the worm gear mechanism. It happened on my boat.
The bearing on one side of the worm failed and was jamming one direction of rotation.

Re: Headsail furler issues
Thank you Ian,Bill and Danny for the very helpful responses. I have checked the "in" solenoid, pressed the button on the bottom, and there is 24 V coming through (measured by multimeter so no load).

Re: Headsail furler issues
Try tapping the motor with a soft mallet or something similar. It worked for me until I tidied the brushes up. I still need to order some new ones at the end of the season, but removing the brushes

Re: Solar and shade
Thank you for the image, I like the simplistic lines and would expect it to be adequate given the strength through the davits
A drone landing pad is very handy too

Re: Chain and Anchor
Just curious re: your stainless chain- is it very obvious that it needs to be replaced? Ours is 12 years old and looks generally fine, but I've also had pristine looking stainless snap on me.

Water maker end cap leak
Greetings All,
I developed a leak on the low pressure product water side of the watermaker membrane. It appears to be coming from the gray attachment piece fit directly into the end cap. I tried to

Another photo. Note the vertical near the stern light. Initially the boatyard continued the diagonal near the upper right of the photo all the way to the stern. As should be obvious, that interferes

Re: Solar and shade
Paul,
i mounted three panels on Stella using a SS structure integrated to the Davits. Very happy with the low visual impact and functionality.
The panels also make a great drone landing pad!

Re: Bamar MEJ1.02
Yes, the grey ones are the thermal sensor. The idea is to put it in the 24 Volt feed line of the switch that operates the furler so when it becomes too hot the furler will cease operation untill it

I also have a Waelder chain and for the last two years it has shown no issues around the Med, but I was anchored in Villefranche for a couple of weeks last month and noticed that it had some stains

Hi Scott,
thank you for the information, it would be great assistance if you could send some photos, I like your idea of combining the arch with the davits, it would maintain the SWL of the davit

Re: Parts4Engines - Vendor Experience
I had a similarly favorable experience with them.
Although it was just for a spare starter motor that has yet to be installed.
Still, fast service and good pricing vs. oem.
