Thanks for the photos Joerg. The video would be helpful so I can understand it better. Or more accurately, so I can come up with better questions. :)

Original was a Banten, can't recall the model number. Just climb on up the mast and take a look! I do know that the wiring is integrated into the antenna - there is no connector you can disconnect on

Alex, I went through that same replacement. The commutator vanes on my SP 155 TCi motor cracked and ate a set of new 200 euro brushes in about a week. The motor repair shop said it'd be difficult to r

I had a similar issue when changing my ZF25 fluid for the first time. Frankly I had no idea how it fit together so I just kept turning the Allen bolt. Eventually the whole assembly comes up if you app

Hi all, I just purchased a used Parasailor (169sq meters) for my A54 and had a bit of trouble flying it the first time, going dead downwind. With our rolling, the Parasail tacks/foot area was chafing

Thomas, Sorry for the slow reply. Infinite resistance just means the core and shield are not shorted out. The original antenna does not have a removable connector on the antenna side. I had to cut the

Apologies for the late response - we were doing the Chesapeake-Caribbean passage. Now here in Marigot Bay with two other 54s! It was getting a bit too cold on the US East Coast! I can explain what was

I’ve had VHF reception and transmission problems and recently replaced my original VHF antenna with a Shakespeare 5215. The male connector threads fit perfectly where the old antenna sat on the masthe

Arno, When I remove the oil filter, it seems the oil is coming from the hose that I'm pointing at in the photo. There is some oil on the intake vanes of the turbo, but I presume that's from oil being

Thanks Mike. It'd be great if we could time it to leave more or less around the same time. We'll probably stick around DC this weekend and may just do an overnighter to get to Norfolk on Sunday. Since

Hi all, My Volvo D3-110 is exhibiting what I think is blow by. Oil migrates up the return hose and slowly collects in the air filter. In the attached photo, I am pointing to the hose where oil migrate

Hi all, We're anchored in DC right now and will head south after my boss (aka insurance) allows me to do so. The intent is to stage in Hampton or Norfolk and make the offshore passage to St. Maarten.

I'd be interested in buying one. Somewhat related but has anyone replaced the rubber hoses on their D3-110? Ours is around 2250 hours now and 12 years old. I presume the previous owner did not replace

I'd be interested to hear how many hours you all have on your seals, too. We did the two aft seals with the spring facing sea water and the forward two seals with spring facing the oil. So far 600 hou

Congrats Colin! You guys did make it a good ways since we met at the Amel rally in Martinique! We're just in DC. :) That said, we'll be heading your way and likely arrive in your part of the world by

Amazing, very cool and well done! Can I ask how much it all cost?

Craig - It works perfectly. I just figure it's a bit silty here and I'd rather not run it near a city especially when we can hopefully get dock water easily.

Thanks Alan, very helpful.

It was great meeting everyone last night and putting faces to names! Quick logistics question for those familiar with the area: We will be leaving Annapolis sometime next week, heading down to the Pot

Hi Miles, I just did this job. Assuming the Maramu is similar to the A54, you just need to remove the small rectangular sheet of plywood that keeps the door from going too low. With it removed, you ca
