Hi Bill. Yes, I'm referring to the manual furler that the winch handle goes in. I don't know how you could add oil with it in place. Mine had never been serviced, and hearing about the shearing off of

We have a Desslator Duo 100 that runs on either 24v DC or 230v AC. According to the specs and our own measurements, the 24v motor draws 600watts and the 230v motor draws 1100watts! The AC motor draws

To help redirect this thread back to the topic :) : March Pumps responded and their shafts are round and either 1/4 inch = 6.35mm 3/8 inch = 9.525mm We just need to find an adapter that can take a

Hi Kent and Iris, Thanks much for the info. I just want to confirm that when you say you serviced the manual furler you are referring to the unit at the bottom of the main sail where you insert the

Hi Randall, Thanks much for the info on Ken's video on how to rebuild the main sail manual furler. It's exactly what I was looking for. In fact I met Ken several times two years ago in the

The new engine has been excellent after 1300 hours or so. Very happy I went with the 150i, although the 110i would probably be just fine as well. I am certain that Amel is acting with an abundance of

Jamie, In May 2018 I also replaced my D3-110C. But after getting the strong advise from AMEL withstood,reluctantly, the tremendous temptation to also go for the D3-150H as it was only a chipand

Teun, not to hijack this thread, which is about the infernal refrigerator pump problems we have all been having, I should point out that I had to replace my Volvo Penta engine a couple of years

Teun, when I do long crossings, I like to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible. As such, I often motor-sail if the wind is not just right. Yes, I carry 900 liters in the tank, but having

Hi Ruslan, Yeah – I have been looking at that; there is also one which does 7 gallons per minute. Thanks Best Regards Teun AMELIT A54 #128 June 29, 202016:18:21

Hi, for fuel transfer I recently discovered siphon hoses with shaker primer. Very easy to transfer from jerry can, fast and the most important, you don’t have to lift and pour and wait for it. Not

Hi Jamie, Thanks for reply. Have you ever been in a situation you needed more than 700 to 800 liter? We have 900 liter capacity on board but you don’t want to run very low and keep 150/200

I installed a bi-directional Marco pump in the starboard locker (along with fuel supply connections) so that I could transfer fuel into and out of 20-liter yellow jerry cans. I also have a bladder

Jamie, Transferring diesel below: from shore and/or other boat to your fuel tank? Best Regards Teun AMELIT A54 #128 June 29, 202015:01:12

I can echo Scott's comment about the noise generated by the Marco pumps. I use one for transferring diesel fuel in the boat and while it is very good, it is very loud, likely because of the

Unfortunately Marco has been tried. I have purchased one and so did Thomas on Garulfo (A54). I believe it lasted him less than 3 months and was noisy as hell. He spoke to their engineers and they

The Force 10 unit was available last summer - I saw it in Valencia. I’m also converting to LiFePO4, but going all Mastervolt like Paul has on Fortuna II. No changes to the chargers and inverters

Hi Ralf Before repainting I have seen at the after cabin deck and salon deck some areas where the glass fiber could be seen. It was successfully repaired with a 2-component primer. The sailmaker

Hi, my problem is not the false teak deck. On the other deckparts as on the after cabin and the salon deck has my gel coat some hair cracks. I think, this is from the sun over the years. @Gerhard: It
