Hi Bob, facinating memories. It would have been 2009. As to bow thruster. On 299 there is open access from the bow thruster to the bilge beside the forward head. Any leak accumulates there. However I

Tom, You are not alone in your trepidation as to when to pull the trigger on LiFePO4. I am right there with you. I have read the posts from Scott (Tengah), Paul (Fortuna II), Thomas (Garulfo) and

Hi Arno; I have my own assumptions as to why the 54 does not have a vang but do not know the exact reason why Amel chose not install one. As far as usage, we typically rig a preventer that has lines

Miles, I delivered the entire car assembly to the machine shop, explained how it was supposed to work and they machined a new pin and disk which worked perfectly. (actually I could have several made

Bob, I'm pretty sure Danny is referring to the 60mm x 80mm x 12mm lip seal for the Bowthruster tube, not the one for the Bowthruster propeller. This one: -- Mark McGovern SM #440 Cara Deale, MD
