Cool thanks Rink. If I don't find a "shiny solution" before I head back down to Caribbean then I will ask Jean Collin. Regards. John John Clark SV Annie SM 37 Charleston SC

Ahh, Emek. Yes their stainless work is good. Just finished installing their arch sent as a kit. Arch is great. Haven't been to Turkey so I can't testify to other work. Thanks for the

Bill Kinney, One person's myth is another person's fact. And in this case, I think we have a combination of myth and fact. I believe that it is a fact that front opening refrigerator doors lose cold

Eric, Yes, these 12mm seals are very common...I bought some in Penang, Malaysia for about $5.00US. You need to ensure, with a magnet test, that the spring in stainless steel...you know about "Chinese

Dear all, I own one of the very first SM2k , hull number 238 , built and registred late in october 1998 . Originaly named '' Ouled '' , owned by family Amel as usual , the boat was used as commercial

My SM (that I just closed on yesterday!) is hull number 233. It is not a SM2000. It was built in July 1998. I can believe that 232 was the first SM2000, but it definitely wasn't the start of full

I am in the middle of the refit of my older SM and while I probably should be focused more on the mundane items on my list like replacing hoses, I thought some fun cosmetic work needs to be mixed in.

Alex, We toyed with theidea of a replacement last summer and searched the USA for a compatiblesolution. We were looking mostly at drawer models. However, the best solutionwe could find was a

Thanks Olivier. I am sure Chris is also thankful for the information. Best, Bill Rouse
