Hi Kent, That looks like a safety cable for a MOM-8. It is attached to the Mom and around the rail. If you hit a piling and break off the mounting hardware it keeps the Mom on board. Fair

Does anyone have experience going to Cuba? We thought we’d like to do that before heading for Belize. Thanks for any advice or info. Kent and Iris Kristy SM243

Here’s a link to the pic of my unknown part. A cable with fittings. The whole thing is about 30” long., the wire cable about 3mm diameter (5mm with cover). Anybody know what it’s

I would suggest installing a separate antenna for the AIS. Iinstalled the AIS antenna on the top of the mizzen mast and followed the radarcabling to the nav station (very easy to do – access in aft

Dear Amelians, We became proud owners of SM hull #293 last summer... We received lots of help from Olivier Beauté and Bill Rouse, but there is still sooooo much to learn... This Forum is

Ken, It's more likely that you purchased or were sent the wrong car. Do you know the part number of the car? If so, post it here. The track on the main boom should be 31mm wide x 21mm tall. That

Hello All, I need your help. Aquarius is a 1999 Super Maramu 2000, and the car for the main outhaul was damaged. I bought a new one in New Zealand from Antal (Hall Spars), but the new car is a

Ian, just one question. As the stopper hole has no shoulder on it, how do you stop the plug from going too far in and disrupting the ball track? Ian SM2K 414 Crusader Cyprus
