    Seakeeper usage

    We fitted Humphree fins to a Sunseeker predator 57 a few years ago. It was the perfect combination. The ride is fantastic (far better than the 57s on shafts with side power fins)

    Volvo Penta 290 SP-A ... Outdrive question.

    Rydlyme reverse flush with pics

    Is that the old Anabel that was based in Santa Ponsa, Mallorca? If it is then it always has had slightly dodgy temperature gauges.

    Eat your heart out, Besenzoni

    You can also connect an after market 4 channel radio remote control to those wires to do away with the Besenzoni infrared remote.

    New Balearic Islands law effective from today.

    Here’s a link for anyone who speaks Spanish or has a bit of time with google translate. It’s got a lot of info about some more restrictions they want to put in place, one restriction being that they want to enlarge the swimming areas in the 3 bays of Portals vells. It sounds like they want to...

    Sounds like the cone needs replacing to me. Check oil for water contamination before changing cone.

    Trim tab position indicator problem

    They are inductive sensors so the resistance will not change.
