Dieter, I saw your photo. Since water runs down the wire it will accumulate near the swage fitting and under the plastic. I believe that if you want to use plastic over the wire that there should be

Dieter, Here is what I do: 1. Wash/rinse (sometimes with soap if crusty) the rigging and especially the lower terminals with freshwater to remove salt accumulation. 2. At least once a year,

On my oldrigging I had rust at the connection where the inox cable entered the terminals,caused by minimal water droplets there. Now I havea new rigging from ACMO and want to protect this parts as

Peter, I did replace my Hydra330 FFD which had no NMEA In/output by an Hercules2000 FFD which has the NMEA connection. It is enough and it has been working fine for five years. I connected it to my

It looks like Sula's Onan MDKDP 6.5 generator engine is either up for a major overhaul or complete replacement. For those of you who have replaced this same unit on your boats what did you go

Peter, Email Sarah Pidgley sarah@... Tell her hi from Bill s/v BeBe. I think that Sarah is the best one to answer specific questions, but I thought that even early model FFDs had NEMA 0183 OUT & IN.

Thank you Bill, that's realy briliant. Now, my only speed indication is SOG from GPS and that is good enough. For the Ultra Sonic Speed from NKE, I would have to drill a new hole the get SOW. I think

Bill's solution is brilliant. That's what I would do. We never had beautiful B&G analogues, as hull #350 came from the factory with an all-Raytheon cockpit (and an all-Furuno nav table). So in 2013

Peter, It sounds like you may be looking for another option... One option is to display SOG on the analog B&G cockpit gauges and on the Hydra FFD rather than SOW by installing a NMEA paddlewheel. The

Hi everybody Since one year I am refitting a older SM in La Rochelle (1989, SM #3). I am quite happy, the old Lady is pretty again. I installed a new Radar (Simrad 4G), an NAIS 400 and both are

HiEric; I tried sending youan e-mail (kimberlite@...) but cameback as undeliverable. Iwould also be interested in seeing pictures of your tank pre-filterinstallation. I have been contemplating

Please send me your email and I will send the photo. Eric Fair Winds sm376 kimberlite

I'd love to see a photo or photos of that!!! Very cool. Great idea. Porter

Thanks Eric, and John, Bill left me with a Baja filter and a lighter duty filter he said that he used based on the quality of the source. With one of the most important factors being the volume of

Thanks as always, Olivier. One last observation as I further explored: Indeed, under the pilot berth is an orange wire that can be disconnected, just as you said. What I then noticed is that the

Thanks as always, Joel. The unknown rack is too large for any of the galley cabinets. Certainly not mission critical, but I get curious sometimes. Tom Peacock SM 240 Aletes Saint Augustine, Florida

Tom, I think this isa fitting for one of your cabinets to hold glasses. We have a similar set up inthe cupboard aft of the stove and in the cupboards under the galley countertop.However, I’m not

Hi Tom. That is probably the wine/liquor holders that were originally installed in the galley cabinet just outboard of the washer-dryer area in the forward island of the galley. If that doesn’t seem

While we have owned Aletes for several years, a few parts and their uses remain obscure to me. I was going through the forward bilge and again came across what seems to be a wine rack. We have three
