Oliver, If possible, I'd love to see photos of this setup. It sounds like a brilliant solution. Also, could you tell us more about the intelligent controller that tries to "bundle" when the

Craig, Sorry for the late kudos. This one line led me to my problem. The valve was sticky and stayed depressed. I took it apart, cleaned it and all appears good now! However, the oven doesn't flow

Thanks for the info Kent. Yep...still in Hawaii until June next year, and will sail away then. Steve

Thanks

Oh Mark- on your last question, have never used it on the run rail. We clean that with Vaseline every few months and the red comes back nicely. Tom and Kirstin SV L'ORIENT SM2K 422

Mark- this is what I used. Bought a case of it from a Dutch paint store in Bonaire. The pic I posted was of my sun-bleached deck locker half treated with polytrol (which was fully dry). Joel- as usual

Hi Kent, What is Amel charging per meter for the material? Thanks, Steve Aloha SM 72 Hawaii

No problem, I do need a 125sm Gennika for a 55 anyways Hope to meet up in AU or along the way for sure Cheers Paul

I also have twisted chain after being at anchor all Summer. The twist makes the chain jump on the gypsy every 5 meters or so. So the fix is to find deep water and calm seas and let the chain and
