Interestingly, I bought a new BTM in Tahiti. To replace the old Leroy somer lift pump for desalator 230v. It leaked in the first week. I watched it as it was minimal. Finally changed the seal, no long

Again. A precovid vote for Q sails. A bit later than expected but great hydranet sails at a great price. Occasionally a stutter in communication. Mizzen, Genoa and a light weight asym. Very happy afte

As a side note on the long runs from the starting battery to generator and engine and the house batteries to the bow thruster, don’t overlook the resistance of simple wire terminal corrosion. The term

Agree with Danny and Doug as well. Our experience was the same: vibration means something is amiss and you need to investigate. Use the comfortable bands of rpm to get where you need to go. Malalignme

Thankyou Thomas et al. Good to know we’re in good company! I cannot find further screws. A pal down the dock and wooden boat builder thinks there remains glue which prevents the removal. Interesting t

The one behind the hydraulic lift is one that screws to starboard into the pillar? I got that one. And incidentally the starboard side moves some with encouragement but the port side is stuck solid. I

Reudi, Arno, Thomas and all the 54 gang. Thank you for this thread. Sadly, however.. I’m still screwed…despite unscrewing everything I can find! The cabinet shows no sign of movement with screws out,

Great thread as usual on the JSD. 1. Included below is a photo of the dyneema sling "conception." Caveat: it needs to be tied so that it meets the yoke of the JSD and then balanced so that the forced

Alex I agree with Wolfgang. Definitely the first place to check. Often cleaning the pressure plates (24 pump switch off!) and then corrosion x’ing them will lubricate and prevent future issues. Often

Hello All. I’ve thought about this a bit. Luckily never had to deploy our JSD. BUT, Have been thinking of an easy yoke out of dynama: which we cary a bit of on the boat. A sling between the aft cleat

Reudi, We appreciated your recent post re the removal process for the upright fridge/freezer. A question however. We can’t find these screws. please see link. Where are they? Many many thanks, Porter

Wow. Great Intel Bill. Thank you Makes one rethink lithium in light of the insurance issues. Or at least consider the firefly a greatly improved bridge to wait for insurers to figure out the low risk

Congratulations Susan and David: We (Helen) and I own A54-152, your brother! We have a new (relatively) “H” model D3-110 since 2019. Wonderful engine. We get 2700 at WOT, clean hull and Brunton autopr

Reudi. You Can use the autoprop puller to remove the fixed prop. Use the bolt holes, align with the base of the fixed prop blades and then “sew” the puller to the base of the blades using 5-7mm dynema

Happily. I’ll send. He took about 15 restarts in both his laptop and the GP150 before the update would go through. And then it did. Like finding the hammer in the drawer on the 15th look. Porter McRob
