Just found the answer to the dehumidifier drainage question in another thread about wintering. Use the depth transducer hole. Perfect! I love this forum.

Hi Alin, we will be there today doing final prep for tomorrow. Regards Danny

Hi Mark, Thanks for the pics and detailed info. I’ve ordered 10 gallons of the pink antifreeze, and a couple of heaters too! My flowmeter is a little ‘grubby’ looking as shown in the

Hi Wolfgang, There are a ton of marinas in Boston, and I don't think you can go wrong with any of them, so it really depends on what you're looking for and how much you're willing to pay. Dockwa has

Hello to the group, Has anyone a recommendation for a Marina in or near Boston where I can leave the boat for 3 weeks ? Thank you very much Wolfgang Weber SY Elise Amel 54#162

Hi Arno, I have only been using the Spade a couple of weeks. So far so good. Actually last night we anchored at Kalamos in a rather exposed place and it kicked up 25kn with several miles fetch. We

Hi Nick, Thanks for your reply. Great to see an Amel that actually uses the Spade. Your additional roller is very clever, it seems to really improve things. I did notice the Buegel sitting not too

Hi Dean, I am glad that you were able to decipher my description. And, yes it is import to get antifreeze into the flow-meter tube. I have a hand pump that I use to get propylene glycol into the

Hey Alan Nice to hear from you. I think my "Colin.Streeter14" Facebook "LIKES" went down by 50% when you shut down your FB account and I lost half my friends:)! I had been wondering what you have
