Has anyone in the group converted the Dodger windows to Glass? Ideally I would still like the functionality to open the port side. Thanks, Dan Feierabend SM #86

Hi Matti, We live in Seattle, and sail year round. Having the full enclosure is a huge improvement. I had the U shaped contraption connected to the deck mentioned and I removed it. I instead took the

Happy to contribute in any way I can. This group has helped me a lot as I make significant upgrades. Let me know if there is any additional information I can provide. My project starting Saturday is t

Hi Mark, I did end up moving the motor mounts. The ones closest to the "C" drive remained basically in the same place. Center pin is approximately 2" aft of "C" drive body. Both sets of new mounts are

i can take some pictures and measurements for you, and will also include mount models. I'll run down to the boat today and send them tonight. Thanks, Dan Feierabend SM #86

Happy to hear that the pictures helped. Don't hesitate if you need any specific additional ones. I located the fuel filters on the back wall. I wanted easy access to it, and it's mid-point between eng

They are stickers. I purchased them last year and installed. A year later they look great. Thanks, Dan Feierabend SM#86

I recently swapped out my Perkins Prima M80T for a Beta Marine 85. I used the following engine support bar. It spans perfectly across the seats of a Super Maramu. As far as the Beta goes, Isolated gro

Hi Davi, I just purchased a Beta 85 which should be delivered next week. I'm installing the CS version of the control panel today, and it looks like it will fit perfectly. I'm happy to share pictures

Thank you Bill. I have been working with Stan and just purchased a Beta85 for Feierabend. My Perkins M80T was not rebuildable do to failure of aft motor mounts (original) and water getting into the en

I'm pretty sure the shaft is steel.. and also the part that attaches to the shaft. The Aluminum part is just the housing that is loosely fit with the 4 tension bolts and houses the 4 rubber nubs. Than
