Looking for information on servicing or replacing the forestay on a 1998 Amel SM as part of an overall rigging overhaul. Recently heard from a friend who experienced failure of the forestay connection

The part number you gave me refers to a Yanmar engine, not the engine mounts. Also, Gary's email at WWWilliams was abbreviated and I wonder if you could resent, just using "at" rather than @? Thanks m

What is the best method to remove the old main prop seals on 1998 SM?

On a 1998 supermamaru, are the masts connected to the vessels electrical grounding system?

Hey Richard I was thinking about getting the "Filter Boss" system to provide 2 fuel filters with quick change, pressure guage to the helm, etc. Sounds like you essentially accomplished the same thing

Hello all; I have a chain counter display that has stopped functioning properly. Rather than showing 00, it only shows a single 0 in the left hand digit space, and does not count up or down consistent

Hey Richard When you say you used a "short" headsail and short main, can you be a little more specific. For example, did you use a storm headsail over the regular headsail, or merely use a furled head
