The Kristy saga continues: 3 1/2 yrs ago I had the bottom painted in Trinidad. Sea Hawk's Island 44 was recommended. After taking the old paint down to gelcoat (it had 12 years of paint), a barrier

Hi Bill, Thank you. I have bought some... See you sometime this summer. JPG

CorrosionX is readily available in Europe (not sure about Ireland) on eBay.it and eBay.de e..g.

Bill, I first came across Corrosion X in Trinidad and after years of thinking there was nothing better than WD40, I was really impressed. There were two grades as I remember. Recently I

Hi Had Akwaaba 's auto helm checked and instruments reinstalled recently. I had taken the computer to Tinley Electronics UK for service. The local Thai engineer found the rudder angle sensor was

Good point for both of you. I tried to source Corrosion X in EU... No luck. However an aeronautical engineer friend recommended a good product. .... Jean-Pierre Germain SY ELEUTHERA, SM007

Hi I have been following the forum for 6 months in preparation for buying our Super Maramu, #151. Here is my first post, after our 2 week shakedown cruise! The Autohelm ST7000 worked for an hour but

Hello Alexandre, Thank you for the reference. I will look into it… Cheers, Jean-Pierre Germain SY Eleuthera, SM007
