Hi Ryan, I like Locktite 542 or if you can’t find it try the regular red Locktite. However it is difficult to remove the red Locktite. The threads must be absolutely clean , I would clean the

Hello again, When we were in Le Marin, we had a bunch of work done on our genoa furler -- Amel rebuilt the gearbox, Caraibe Greement replaced the forestay, etc. One of the things Amel did (unasked)

Hi all, In the last few days I've noticed a strange, intermittent vibration that seems to be coming from my propeller. We had the engine mounts and Vetus coupling rubber balls replaced in Le Marin a

Hi Bill, I have in the past shared my story of having this situation in Tonga some years ago. Without going into those details I would comment that unlike the situation if one was changing engine
