Thanks Duane. I now remember you did a detailed write up on this. I will go back and read. Fortunately my manual furler is working or we would be motoring everywhere. Once fixed I'll keep it well

I went through the same process finding an alternative for a leaking Calpedia A/C pump. My conclusion is that for the requirements of running three A/Cs there is no powerful enough pump available with

I was referring to the motorised gearbox on the boom. The bearing on the top is particularly prone to corrosion due to salt water. I agree the manual gearboxes on both the main and the mizzen benefit

The detailed and informative posting about the mizzen furling gearbox indicated that it is designed to be flushed with fresh water raher than oil lubrication. Is this the case for the main furling

Hello Bill, Thank you for your knowledge, this is the exact pump that Dessalator are now providing as the low pressure pump. I was wrong it is not aluminum. I must remember that it is best to come to

Thanks Bill, The videos are excellent. Cheers Alan Elyse SM437

I regularly spray lanolin grease on the top of that bearing where the shaft protrudes, because of the fact that it is so exposed to saltwater. So far no problems with seized rusted

Great info, thanks Danny. I see you buy the stuff by the gallon. Will add a big jug to my list. Kent Robertson S/V Kristy karkauai@... USA cell: 828-234-6819

Hi Kent, in high challenge areas like low in the engine room, (eg 230v pump for the aircon) monthly. Rest of the engine room, bi monthly (if it gets longer than that I get guilt feelings). Wiring

Hi Danny and Bill R. I know you are both big fans of spraying all electrical and metal parts regularly (CRC66 or Corrosion X). How often do you do this? Kent Robertson S/V

Chuck, Same thing happened to me. The top bearing in the gearbox was rusted solid, both in the motor gearbox and the manual furler. There is a list of the bearings used somewhere on the forum. You

One more thing I would like to add to this thread for everyone that I trust is beneficial. There is another US distributor. I am not sure what is going on with AB Marine and Brunton's, but AB did not

Here is the Calpeda from the UK: https://www.colglo.co.uk/product.php?product=CALPB-CM20. If you are in St. Martin, I suspect that you can find the Calpeda, or at least someone to order it. Best, CW

Eric, March pump flow of the LC-5C-MD Mag Drive Pump is "Max Flow 14.5 GPM." That is 870GPH. The reseller, marinepartssource.com, has exaggerated the output to 1,000GPH. The March spec sheet is here:

Hi Mark, I haven,t had to replace these pumps but I commend to you regular spraying with a rust inhibitor/ penetrant/water displacer. I use CRC marine 66. I spray all electric motors, alternators,

Hi Mark; Brunton’s factory in the UK has all of the required spares for the H-6. We purchased all parts for a complete re-build last year. Their pricing including shipping was better than the US

Eric, Agree, but I wonder why Veco (manufacturer of the Climma AC) doesn't recommend this pump, rather another March pump. Possibly cost, because it is at least 50% more? As far as I am concerned, the
