Hi Bill, We replaced both of our AC units with Marine Air systems in 2014 while in St Augustine. The manual says they are rated for 230v and 60hz. We contacted Marine Air prior to purchase, and they t

Hi Mike, I have a new Leroy Somers gearbox. Send me an email at flyboyscd at gmail dot com, and we can talk. Steve Davis Aloha SM72

Hi Ben, We have a Mastervolt 100 amp charger on Aloha, but have a different setup than you. We are hull #72, have a shorter cable run, and I went with 1/0 battery cable, which was a bit of an overkill

Hi Ben, We just arrived at Port Louis Marina a few hours ago after an overnight from Trinidad. We are right next to Rascal and another British owned SM2000, and nobody else near us. Plenty of room to

Hi Paul, We have just spent an entire season in the Caribbean, and are now in Grenada for the summer. We have 420 watts of solar on the Emek arch, and no wind generator. I had strongly considered addi

Hi Aty and Mohammed, I've had dirty fuel on a previous boat, and would rather not have to deal with it again. While refitting Aloha, we added a fuel boss fuel polishing unit in addition to the dual Ra

Hi Bill, I don't think you are going to find a RIB of suitable size that will fit in the aft locker. We have an AB 9.5 aluminum which we are quite fond of. It is under 100#, which makes it fairly easy

Hi Ian, Sorry you are having all the problems with the bow thruster. I helped a good friend overhaul his bow thruster last winter in St Martin. In his case, it had not been serviced for who knows how

Your TV probably only receives the PAL system used in Europe and many other parts of the world. The USA uses NTSC 3.58, and to my knowledge, their is no converter available, and you will need a differ

Glad to hear it all worked out. Steve

All gas solenoids get very hot when they have been on for a while. After a few minutes of being on, you cant touch it. If I remember correctly, it does not matter which way the wires are connected for

Thanks Olivier. Great explanation!

All great advice Bill. We have duplicates of just about everything except a second drive unit, but expect to have that engineered and installed prior to crossing the Pacific. I've experienced dirty fu

Hi JP, Get on the PYI website, and they have a very simple video on how to determine your rotation. Mine is right hand. As you take the max prop apart, look at the 2 sets of letters carefully so you k

I do... Hence rh rotation. Steve

Sorry to hear about the eye. Hope all turns out well. Steve Davis Aloha SM 72 Grenada

I think we saw this boat sitting in a marina in the Chesapeake as we were passing by. It made me do a double take, and was seriously ugly, as well as poorly maintained. Unless there are more than one

Ben, If you decide to do the work in Grenada prior to our departure around 1 November, I'm happy to help you with the Cdrive and bow thruster service. After you have done it once, you will not be nerv

Hi Pat, I'm not sure about the only one direction noise. When Rick Grimes on Rascal had the noisy bow thruster which eventually led to total failure, I found the prop had lots of lateral slop as a res
