Hi Jeff, On my SM with electric motors for the main sail furler I had both the outhaul and the furler stop working at times. It was caused by stuck brushes. Carbon wears off the brushes in use and

Enio, Is there an obvious reason that these are no longer aligned? I think it can be adjusted into alignment. look at this photo of your bow thruster:

Hi Jeff; The control solenoids are in the forward port cabin locker. These solenoids control the start and stopping if the main Furler and out haul. I just ordered some spare solenoids from AMEL La

I'm in the process of replacement/upgrading some of the systems aboard Spirit. The Boxtron unit on the headsail is being replaced. It stopped working completely. The mainsail furler was starting to

Good Morning, I never had need to adjust mine, it has stayed in good form. As long as the activator touches the switch enough to depress it as the thruster rises, it is good. If it misses the switch,

Capt Richard. I have been fortunate to live and/or work in Fort Lauderdale for 36 years but I have never come across Lauderdale Marine Corp. Could you be referring to Lauderdale Marine Center?

Hi Pat if your looking for a good safe haul out with storage we just spent and few weeks at Lauderdale Marine Corp up the New River. They are a great firm with all kinds of services and security.

Mike, I saw your post yesterday , and thought I would give you a call , I would like to know what you think about cruising in Fla. A mooring for $252./month is certainly cheap enough. Thanks, Pat

Mark, Thanks for the suggestion. If I get out of here at all , I will need to return home a fair amount due to work and a grandchild due in Feb. Thanks Again, Pat SM#123 Sassafras River ,Md.

Good morning Bill and thank you. Does it mean that the activator switches are too small to get precisely on the plunger?? If so, given that the points of the activator and plunger where the rodes are

Hi Pat. We're taking Aletes to St. Augustine as our base for this winter. Municipal marina mooring ball $252/mo. Aletes SM #240 Mike Ondra

Hi Pat...my 2 cents worth. Your best bet for dry storage is at St Augustine Marine. It is a large and well run yard with a huge dry storage area which is not very expensive. Also, they have a 100 ton

Pat, Consider going up the coast a little bit to Brunswick, GA. It will be quite a bit less costly than FL. You will still fly in/out of JAX http://www.brunswicklandingmarina.com/ With

Muchas Gracias, Duane, You'll like Tiger Point, but you'll need a car to get around. Tell the owner Bill Kavanaugh and Jackie I said Ola. I wouldn't do the Inverter there unless you are very

Duane, I am thinking about taking my boat to Fla.,this winter, however I would need to haul it and leave for awhile. Could you tell me a marina in Fernandina that would be good to haul the boat or

Kent, sorry to hear about the eye surgery. You've really made some miles since then so you are coping admirably. Peg and I are heading to Tiger Point Marina in Fernandina Beach for a haul-out and

Bill, I managed to get it to prime (see above), must have had an airlock somehow. I reused the fiber washer, it was pretty rough looking but It's holding pressure. I need to get some plumbing

Thank you all for your various inputs. For the “rest of the story”. Ultimately penetrating oil, double nutting and a rather long extension on the wrench handle facilitated removal of the

The photos just put in are those of MY BT. But it does not work well. This because (as says Bill Rouse) the activator switch position and the position of the plunger switch appears incorrect. I would
