Hi Jamie, Thanks for reply. Have you ever been in a situation you needed more than 700 to 800 liter? We have 900 liter capacity on board but you don’t want to run very low and keep 150/200

I installed a bi-directional Marco pump in the starboard locker (along with fuel supply connections) so that I could transfer fuel into and out of 20-liter yellow jerry cans. I also have a bladder

I can echo Scott's comment about the noise generated by the Marco pumps. I use one for transferring diesel fuel in the boat and while it is very good, it is very loud, likely because of the

Unfortunately Marco has been tried. I have purchased one and so did Thomas on Garulfo (A54). I believe it lasted him less than 3 months and was noisy as hell. He spoke to their engineers and they

The Force 10 unit was available last summer - I saw it in Valencia. I’m also converting to LiFePO4, but going all Mastervolt like Paul has on Fortuna II. No changes to the chargers and inverters

Hi Ralf Before repainting I have seen at the after cabin deck and salon deck some areas where the glass fiber could be seen. It was successfully repaired with a 2-component primer. The sailmaker

Hi, my problem is not the false teak deck. On the other deckparts as on the after cabin and the salon deck has my gel coat some hair cracks. I think, this is from the sun over the years. @Gerhard: It

Hi Mark Indeed after 38 years the deck likes to have a repaint. I have had done it 2 years ago in Monastir, Tunisia for a low price but obviously good quality. The deck is still quite new after the 2

Hi Marco, I agree with everything Gerhard says about the Sharki, single handing, aft cabin bulkhead and being strong despite 37 years of use. The gel coat on the deck of Sea Hobo, Sharki 96 will need

Marco Sorry I don't know a professional surveyor in Greece for Amel boats. One importand pro of the Sharki: It is below 12 meters in length (11.95 m) and so you only pay the lower boat tax in

Hi Joerg, Hope your sailing this season is going well. Thank you for the link. I have asked the company Penguin in the UK if they have any information when Eno/Force 10 with have this electric oven

Hi Barry, here is what I am looking at. http://www.force10.com/electric_gimballed_3burner.html. I met an A55 owner last year in Valencia who was in the process of installing this. It fits on the

All, Kent is exactly correct on the Gear oil by Shell, Omala S4 WE320 synthetic gear oil. You can probably find it in Europe, but not in the US. There are several equivalents of the synthetic 320 gear

Hi Bill. I just serviced my manual furler for the main. It is filled with a very heavy gear oil. I found only one place (in England) that sold it by the liter, otherwise it is sold in very large

Hi Brent, thanks for the input. That is a lot of tool. You tackle a lot bigger jobs than I'm likely to do! Years ago I launched my lake boat without the plug, and had to jump overboard with a sock

Hello Jamie, I did not check their website but they may have something which fits your needs Marco Pumps. Well made in Italy. GL in your experiment Jean-Pierre Germain, SY Eleuthera, SM007.
