Hi Gary (Liahona), Eric (Kimberlite) & All, Do you mind me asking how you got the o-ring measurements for the watermaker (I don't suppose you got the info from Dessalator ...) How accurate do the

Miles, I do not know how (or if) the Maramu fittings are different, but on my Super Maramu the pole fittings were made by FranceSpar. The infallible (not!) internet says that FranceSpar stopped

JP, Not a bad option if you really want to see Santa Marta. A one week stay in the marina if you get the 30% discount offered on there add in Caribbean Compass would be $181 plus tax, water, and

Hull #289 from 2000 did NOT come with the screw. I added them in 2013 as per Gary Silver/Bill Rouse recommendation Sincerely, Alexandre SM2K #289 NIKIMAT IGY Simpson Bay Marina, St Maarten,

Thanks again Eric. It looks like Columbia might even have topped the level of complicated bureaucracy I've found in places like India while trying to clear my aircraft and crew in. I was hoping on a 2

I recall Santa Marta and other places in Colombia take a week to clear in . I wrote to Kelly and asked if that horrible coal burning plant is still working—It is. Please note her comments below.

Kent & Tom, I am guessing that Amel added the screw and washer in later models. a little later than your Hull numbers. I have seen this before, but have not recorded the Hull numbers. I think it is a

SM 243 (1999) does not have the screw and washer. I use blue RTV to hold the lip seal in place. Since doing that and following all other instructions, I've had no water incursion. Kent S/V Kristy St

Thanks to all for such speedy replies. But no, despite the photo appearance, what you see are not two neoprene seals. The top of the structure is rock hard. Assuming no one else has a similar

We are similar to JP, but will transit the canal sometime in January, and head for the Marquesas the 2nd week of March. We are still considering going via Easter Island, Pitcairn, and the Gambiers in
