Hi folks, I have just uploaded an instruction on how to maintain your forestay swivel. We have a SuperMaramu from 1998 but I think the swivel construction is the same for more models. Hope this

I didn't know that was possible, Alan. On Kristy, the generator doesn't start producing 220V AC until it had been running for about 10 sec. I guess that's ok if you're not worried about the impeller

Yup, mine is the same , #437, and it is connected to the grounding system BUT it still corrodes....mine needs a really good cleanup and the endcaps replacing. The Onan is not a very well designed unit

Craig, Apologies for referring to you as Chris in my last post. Also should have mentioned that North has a large loft in Sri Lanka where much of their production takes place. Sri Lanka is known for

Just replaced the original heat exchanger with an after market unit supplied by SeaKamp Engineering. Good people to deal with. The replacement unit has a grounding lug on the top with a label

Dave, Very interesting article on your sail manufacturer, China Sail Factory (CSF) - thanks for the post. It sounds like they are technologically right up there with the Norths & Doyles but with a

Michael, I have had no problems YET furling my main with battens - I have had only up to 40 its and am cautious and always try to reef early. But thank you for the warning - I’ll keep a close eye on

Andrew. I'm sorry to rain on your parade but I must admit that I don't have anything good to say about the short vertical battens on the main sail on my 54. I have 40,000 miles on the original Demme
