Years ago, when manufacturing techniques were highly variable, different manufacturers had a big impact on panel reliability. These days, the solar cell is the main differentiator, and mostly based on

Hi Andrew, I use parts4engines. They are helpful and have a useful website. Some older Volvo parts are identical to Perkins parts and much cheaper. Mark Porter Sea Hobo Sharki #96 Sent from my Samsung

We've had good experience with SunPower. We were looking specifically for flexible panels for our bimini because we didn't want to add an arch, so maybe what we found isn't quite applicable to you.

Hi Scott, Matt's input sounds familiar to me and it is worth to touch each and every cable inside and around the Sleipner BT. I had a similar experience few month ago where the BT sometimes worked

Hi Andrew, Takt a look on parts4engines.com! Best Arnold SY Zephyr SM203 Am 10.02.2020 um 16:26 schrieb Andrew Eaves <andyeaves@...>: Hi all, Spoken to a number of Volvo dealers here in Greece and

I've been scouring this group and the web looking at what solar panels to get. The various brands appear to all offer very similar specifications yet the price variance is huge. For example an LG 330

You certainly don’t need to fill your tank to the top, if you don’t care about collecting water in your fuel, and the associated issues. It’s certainly your choice! ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

Hi all, Spoken to a number of Volvo dealers here in Greece and the UK and the two above parts are obsolete. So in Volvo terms, 'we no longer sell a simple radiator cap, simply replace the engine

Scott, I am very sure you've checked this, but it sounds like an intermittent break in the low amp control circuit, and probably the low position sensor (analog or newer sensor) and/corresponding

Excellent! We will order one in Martinique to have as a spare. Thanks Kent and Iris SM 243 Kristy Bahamas heading South

We want to wrap our wheel and companionway handrail, too. That's the nicest one I have seen yet! Does that braid have a name? Instructions on how to do it? Michelle, you are hired! Thanks Kent and

Thank you very much to all for your tips, sounds great. We will contact him. All the best Frederic

Hi, so finally my BT is back in again (SN). I had the impression that it has never had a overhaul since 25 years. But... amazingly all gears and bearings are still in excellent condition except the

Hi Steve and Alan, we dont have the inner forestay so fly the 90% off the main stay. I have tried a barber hauler system to sheet it inboard. Not worth the effort so we just sheet it to the outer

Hi Steve, We actually have an inner forestay with a staysail on it, and the problem you would have, as we do, is that in trying to sheet it in, the leech fouls the forward lower stay. We do actually
