Hi everyone can anyone the diameter of the main Lake valve in the Moto-space say? Thanks Elja SM 222 Balu

Hi Bill Nice to see you and Judy safely in the Canary Islands already. I can't answer your question but will be interested in what this discussion turns up as we have not used our aircons for over a

A very good friend owns hull #150 1995 Super Maramu. The Saloon & Aft A/C compressors are located in the engine room. The compressors have a Frigoboat sticker on them, but I think this was placed on

In addition to what was written, since I am single handed, I attach a halyard attach to the rail to prevent the pole to slam into the cockpit. So as I ease the pole it goes toward the boat and is stop

I wouldn't have thought there would be much pressure on the mast from the pole unless you were flying a sail from it and you didn't have a sail on the other side pole to balance it - just the bare

Ric Agree with big is best philosophy. At my age I can handle the Rocna 25 if I need to stow it, but I am getting beyond the weight of the 33 if I needed to shift it from the bow!! (Ric, might have a

Does anyone have a text description or illustrated guidelines for setting up the winter enclosure? Many thanks, Jeff LAST TANGO

Ian, My apologies. My theory is get the biggest and best damn anchor possible. Rocna did have some problems at one time, but is now ok. I also have a 33lb and a 66lb Bruce. In the Chesapeake Bay I

I have always swung both poles out whether or not I use the two, since I seem to remember, during training, that Olivier had stated that too much pressure on one side of the mast was a bad idea. Am I

It was the Spade 100 shaft that bent. The Rocna Is fine. I was going to get the 33 but when I saw the size and weight I checked with Rocna and they confirmed that the 25 would be plenty. If it gets

We follow the same port-pole retrieval procedure as noted by Bebe, with one exception. Rather than having the long-pole so close to the rail, we leave it much higher. Otherwise, it can swing in

If you bent the shaft of the rocna 25, it is because it was too light. The 33 fits on my without modifcation. SN24 Bali Hai Annapolis Ric Gottschalk Kitchen Magic Refacers, Inc Office

On my Santorin #84 I have a Spade, works perfectly. And on th right bow locker I preserve the old CQR, not working well like Spade. The chain is 10mm by 70m, found on the boat as original. I also have

Hi, I saw that the SPADE 120 is ok on the bow roller of the SN,not as it seems for Rocna 25. But Rocna proposes another anchor : VULCAN that still seems more suitable because has the shaft like

Hi. I had a CQR on my last boat and it would not set well. I bought a Spade 100 and it was really great. It was oversize for my previous boat but I knew I would be changing to a bigger boat. I bought

Thanks to everyone for your sage advice! Several things I have yet to try and will do so at my next opportunity. As always, your collective SM experience makes things safer and easier. Much

All good techniques. The key is that someone needs to be prepared to "catch" the pole when the blue line is eased. I like to lower the pole about 1-2 feet before easing the blue line, so that when the

Thanks Joe, the area is very small (about 10 x 5cm) and I believe your idea could work, however, I observed that there are about 3 different patterns to follow i.e the 'drops shaped' fixtures, the

How big is the repair. Would a waxed silicone mould of an undamaged part of the deck hold uncured gelcoat allowing you to get the look you want. Might be worth trying as an experiment. Regards
