Re: Genoa Chain Plate bolts Leaking in aft hanging closet
Ken,
I realize that we all use what we have available or can get when we are in remote areas, but, 5200? I am guessing if it seals the leak you have, you'll never get the chainplate off, and if it

Re: New 175 am alternator
Dear Stefan
I am no expert on this but when I was researching for a new 24v alternator for our 2001 SM with the Yanmar 75hp engine the Prestolite dealer advised me to stay with the original size.

Re: .Re: LiFePO4 Conversion on sv BeBe - SM#387
We have 450ah victron smart lithium and during fault testing have run the bow thruster on our a54 with engine off. Voltage stays well above 24v so amperage is not spiking as it would with lead acid.

Re: Genoa Chain Plate bolts Leaking in aft hanging closet
1. Remove Rub Rail starting from Aft.
2. Remove all four lower bolts, then remove the upper single bolt holding the chainplate.
3. Clean hole and bolt with acetone.

Re: Genoa Chain Plate bolts Leaking in aft hanging closet
Well, I ended up using 5200. I bought some Sikaflex 295 (which is supposed to be like 4200) to do the job, as I could not find 4200 or Butyl Tape for sale anywhere in Krabi Thailand. But, after I

Re: New 175 am alternator
Stephan,
175 amps of 24 volts is a lot, but if you do change to a bigger alternator, you will likely need to increase the size of the wire from the battery bank switch to the 24-volt alternator. You

Re: A question about coppercoat
Hi Arnold,
We have had no need to clean and grind Coppercoat in the ten years that we have had it , other than occasionally wiping off slime after a few months which we can do swimming.

We have hauled every hurricane season to store our boat. CC is a hard epoxy. One nice feature is, when cleaning slime, you can take a 6” metal putty knife to scrape it with no ill effects. Straps

Re: A question about coppercoat
From my point of view, the elementary problem is that you still have to go to the crane every year to clean it and grind it again so that it works.
Of course, this increases the costs if you don't

CopperCoat has been the least expensive antifoul I’ve ever used. Spread that “high” cost across 10 or more years....
