Does the faux teak prevent one From seeing damage before it is too late?

I’ve seen 2 or 3 SMS having their decks gelcoated, usually in off white, in Guatemala. The one I examined closely, looked very good, and was cool enough to walk barefoot on in the tropical sun. The ma

Another mystery parts question
It’s for flushing the outboard motor. You connect a garden hose to it and it clamps to the foot of the outboard so you can feed fresh water. ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

great source for watermaker membranes.
Our previous boat had a Village Marine watermaker installed. It required a special sized membrane. Expensive. I replaced the membrane housing and membrane with a standard, buy anywhere size. Capacity

Amel 54 masthead tricolour light
Scott, you point out the single weakness of LED replacement bulbs: The socket of the original fixture. It’s great that you’re having good luck, but occasionally, for those not paying attention as you

Climma Air Conditioning from shore power
If you REALLY want confusing, Japan’s power is 100 v. 50 Hz in the east, and 60 Hz in the west. They use the same outlets as the US. That must make appliance manufacturers, crazy! ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

One thing to keep in mind, US power is 120 volts, 60 hz, not 110. Easy mistake to make. Even our A50 with the US power option is labeled 110 volts. ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

The maintenance fuel bladders
I’d have to guess cleaning would not be necessary. The problems emanate from moist air getting in the tank. I imagine your bladder isn’t vented, and flattens as it empties? If so, there isn’t a daily

SeaFlo is generally quick to fail Chinese-made. I’m sure other pumps are made 8n China, but SeaFlo is made to a price point..... Do some research on reviews of the different brands. ~~~⛵️~~~Matt

Heater
True, and doable, but be careful. Reversing valves are very sensitive to the heat of soldering/brazing. If done by someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing, the reversing valve will be ruined. ~~~⛵
