Hi Teun, you are right when you say they will "deny coverage under the premises that I didn't fully disclose on my application". That is exactly what they will do. Don't hide things from them. That wa

Hi Pat. I'm not the one to answer that regarding the linking of panels. Kind Regards Danny SM 299 Ocean Pearl

Hi Pat, I will measure later on today. I set the swivels so the inboard portion gave me room to pass. This is about 1/3 in 2/3 out. It clears the rub rail when swiveled down. The room I had did set th

Hi Greg, That was what I would have done had I gone internal but as I said I surface mounted "temporarily" and it was so satisfactory I left it as it was. I don't think anyone even notices the wires.

Hi JP, I agree with you on the fuel polishing. But I have something to share as to the amount of fuel being pumped and returning to the fuel tank. Some years ago I was trouble shooting a fuel problem.

Hi Nick. Couple of things. You never have to tether a super wind. The geared feathering blades are cdesigned for and are capable of handling hurricane force winds, so top of the mizzen is the safest p

Hi Nick. Your comment that had you bought a super wind first is the telling one. The expense and failure associated with the model you bought is critical in how you see wind. Consider how you might fe
