Re: Question
Hi Bill,
I will check my foto lib.
Maybe I got some fotos when I revised my motor.
The main problem was that the shaft was baked into the furler and I needed to take the boom off and press the shaft

Re: Leece -Neville Alternator external regulator install
Hello Dan,
I used the VSR sailors project regulator from Al Thomason.
I am very satisfied with it.
Since then I dont have wear off pullys and the regulator offers all parameters to customize beside

Re: Question about Cutlass bearing change
We had CopperCoat on our previous boat. It is now going on 6 years. It’s been sanded ONCE, before we splashed it for the first time.
It’s never been pressure washed.
We followed the application

Re: Question about Cutlass bearing change
Preventative Maintenance is key to happy boatlife. Waiting until the propshaft seal starts leaking is a guarantee it will happen at the least practical point in time. Doing it earlier means you can

Re: Loose screws in portlight stainless trem
Mark - I have laughed for two hours over "The Devil's Glue" - excellent. I've never fought 5200 but I have read enough sad stories.
I agree that 4200 is strong enough as I have used it in a few

Re: Mizzen furler
Pat,
Not so easy! The part with the gear tooth that that broke only broke when it was being unscrewed. The white Delrin bushing had adhered to the shaft (like it was glued with super glue) if you look

Re: Bowthruster works only one way
Hi Paul,
For starters:
I would check the connections at the lever by the helm to make sure they are good. It could be a poor contact there.
Then with one person at the helm control and another in

Not the bow thruster but I did have failure in one direction only of the furling motors while in the Caribbean. Both times it was the contacts on the switches which needed cleaning up. Worth a

Thanks for your good advice and for answering my question. But I must admit it does leave me asking why after not changing it for 6 years I have not experienced any problem at all. I tend

Re: Question about Cutlass bearing change
Hi Paul,
be informed, Coppercoat needs a regular service with cleaning with pressure wash and sanding so the copper comes get activated and comes to the surface!
I am not opportune against Coppercoat,

Re: Loose screws in portlight stainless trem
Hi Giovanni. On SM 243 the portlights were sealed with a LOT of clear silicone caulk. That made removing the wooden panels inside very difficult. If you use anything stronger than that you will

Re: Mizzen furler
Randall, It looks as though the tooth broke nearly completely off ,its hard to understand when enough force would ever be applied on the gear to break it off. Sounds like things came apart for you

Re: Leece -Neville Alternator external regulator install
Does anyone know what the safe continuous output for the LN175 would be? Or any information on the out put curve specific to this alternator. I don't recall seeing it. Just the 175 amp rating.
