Hi Eric, Do you have a photo or drawings of that bowsprit? Bob, KAIMI SM 429

Hi Bill, Interesting. I had a rapid chafe failure in such a line once and chaulked it up to a bad outer sheath. Would you suggest using a standard core for the sail halyard as well? I'm in the process

Hi Rick, I have a replacement recommendation that would also constitute a definite upgrade. For about 5 years I have used a Lumitec Aurora dimming red/white led fixture to replace a Dr. LED dodger dom

We might need to change this somehow to Furuno so we can find it in a future search. Cheers, Bob

Bill, Thanks for emphasizing the need for a portable pump for cleaning, de-watering and even emergency use. Got me to thinking--I'm going to cut and paste and edit an earlier posting I made on this be

Hi Dan, I am curious. Could you describe the wiring from the WakeSpeed 500 with the helm switch? Also, how/where did you wire from the WakeSpeed to the batteries. BTW I am pretty sure that I read that
