Re: Rudder seal
Paul, i had a Little bit of water last Fall and tightened the nut 1/3 of a turn. No water so far this season. I would try to tighten the nut further before anything else.

Re: Gearbox for outhaulAmel
Hello Paul,
originally, this line is rather tight, indeed as Bill says, in order to prevent slipage. But with time, UV and salt, this Vectran-core line tends to shrink and gets tighter and tighter

Re: A54 fridge circulation pump
Hi Oliver
We would be interested in the details of the brushless motor and motor controller as it has been the same in our case ( pump still working, only brushes wear out).
Thanks for your help.
