Hi all, I'm on the hard at the moment for bi-yearly maintenance and I've noticed that there are blisters on the orange boot stripe on the aft end of the boat. The yard manager here thinks it's

On the inboard side of the companionway there are two threaded bolts sticking out of it. Sitting on each bolt is a piece of stiff plastic tubing inside of a coil spring in the first photo attached

Hank, If you have been happy with the MaxProp, I'd suggest you stay with it. I have had them on my last two boats (over 20 years) and they have always worked well. They ARE fully compatible with a

Eric, You seem to have it backwards. The only "springs" in the system hold the bar OUT away from the notches on the track in a position that allows the slide to fall under gravity as Micheal has

I am working away 3000km away from the boat...... so I can't help form here, but will ask someone to take a photo or 2 and measure. Alternator is a small Motorola, and the belt is a multigroove (?8)

My max prop has been trouble free for 23 years so I can’t help with a prop recommendation. The J-Prop marketed by Beta seems interesting as you can adjust the pitch without removing it from the

Amalians, Could anyone send me some photos of the cockpit closure mechanism? When you pull up the door with the bar I thought to remember that it falls into the slot without having to turn the black

My 28 year old max prop developed a crack in the body, discovered on a recent haulout. Never caused issues (when I owned it), but It is not repairable, so they say. Any suggestions or experiences out

Dan, While I have dreams of one day being an AMEL expert, I have spent many years certifying engine installations (JD, CAT, Volvo and Yanmar) in heavy equipment. To get a definitive answer to your
