Hi Helen and Kosta, I replaced Kristy's drive several years ago. It was straightforward. If you don't have the alignment "tool" for aligning the engine with the drive, you should really have that. It

Hi Juan, Iris and I hope to transit the Canal next Spring, spend at least a few weeks on Panama's and Costa Rica's Western shores, then sail to Ecuador. We are thinking that we'll leave the boat there

Good to know, Mark and Bill. I just replaced the thru hull ball valve for the forward head. It was a bear to remove, mostly because of poor access and it had an Octagonal place to put a wrench on it.

Has anyone started a new list of owners wanting these seals? Has anyone asked the manufacturer if we can contact them individually, rather than doing a single large order? Thanks, Kent & Iris SM243 Kr

Hi Bruce, I'm a little confused... First, I can't seem to open the attachment on my android phone. Can you post it un-zipped? Can we/should we order the Jose seals directly from the source, or is some

Thank you Peter...was hoping the panel with the cubby holes could be removed without major cutting. Kent

Has anyone tried to remove the trim panel inboard of the holding tank to get better access? Can it be done without a chainsaw and/or axe?

Thanks again to Mark and Joerg for the security and anchor alarm info. I'll check them out. Kristy did go astray at anchor in St Pierre, Martinique when I was ashore, after staying aboard for 18 hours

Hi All, I'm rebuilding my gearbox for the electric furler on the Mainsail. Not the manual furler gearbox, but the one attached to the motor. I just did this a year ago, and there's water in it again.

Thank you Mohammad, I'll check it out. Kent

That's interesting, Danny. What brand? My AIS is incorporated into my B&G Zeus. Kent

AHA! Thanks, Danny. I have never needed it. The prop came off with minimal effort, then I switched to MaxProp when I repowered. Ive just put the AutoProp back on to see how it performs after maintenan

Thanks Paul. I'll take a look at it. Kent

This looks brand new, but it's been aboard since I bought Kristy. I still don't know what it's for. Any thoughts? Thanks,
