Good morning, I just finish to put together some illustrations of the work I did while in Puerto Rico on the Super Maramu How to adjust the voltage on the Onan (7 pictures) Thanks to Ben Driver (SM

James Like Kent I don’t have a wealth of experience to make judgements on. But for my pennyworth here are my experiences. On my previous boat, Jeanneau 37, I was persuaded to have my new mainsail

Hi Bill. I have heard you say before that you wouldn't use vertical battens with our in mast furling. I've had mine for 8 years and have had no problems furling them or with chafing of the sails or

James, I have only changed the headsail at sea one time, and even the 135 took all four crew to fold and stow. Since then, I have changed sails when at anchor, and even single handed I can manage it

James, You asked: "Can anyone tell me if the special Amel locking mechanism for the ballooner which allows the removal of the halyard is adaptable to the Maramu?" The swivel is what needs to be

Kent, Many thanks for your response to my questions about Amel sail inventory and especially the details of your experience with the battens. Based just on this seasons sailing on Sueno, I

Bill, I had Diane go ahead and send you a couple of pics. , if it looks right and you want it , send me shipping info. Pat

Pat, I do not need a photo because these B&G 213 masthead units were on Amels for years. I am sending you a private email. Bill

Duane, There are two types of these connectors - one with just a screw and one that also has a stainless steel wire protector tab. The set screw compresses the tab onto the wire and prevents damage

Hi Bill. I was able to get a new wind speed bearing from Defender. They had all parts listed for the mast top unit on Kristy. Kent S/V Kristy SM 243

OK, thanks Herbert. I had just discovered your method of stopping the sound in the forward head a few days ago. My guests are much happier. Kent

A few days ago the wind vane and some parts on the B&G masthead unit flew away in some strong gusts. The nut that secures all of these parts apparently came loose and they blew off. The needed parts

Kent, we have also the noise from the greywater sink in the foreward head, but only when motoring at a certain RPM. When we got the boat I was looking for a pump that „runs dry“ but could of

Vladimir--Alas we are shore bound until the end of February so will not see the boat until then. Ian

Hi James, I have an SM, so not entirely the same...but here is my experience. When I purchased Kristy 8 years ago, the sails had been discarded. I was starting with a clean slate, but didn't know

Hello, It is time for a new set of working sails for Sueno and I was hoping to get some input on what seems to work out the best. I am considering the tri-radial hydranet for the cloth but open
