we have 1 natural inlet and likewise outlet leading to / from the engine compartment. rather than having one of the doors open to allow greater air intake and stop my 2yr son throwing toys in, i wish to install blowers to both the in-let and outlet. At this time, i've only managed to get one...

thanks for the replies guys. No, no abrasives have been used and no chance of taking it back to Turkey for warrenty. I went to a chandler here in Valletta and he recons i could have picked a bit of dirt up and scorred the valve gasket, anyway, 7.5 euro later, a new cap etc has been installed...

I'm sure it has been covered but can't find anything using search. We have recently (2 months ago) upgraded from portapoty to jabsco twist n lock. We have cleaned it once with vinager and mineral oil, the second is due in a few days. However, as we are new to these toilets, i am uncertain of...

i am aware of buses and i think there maybe or there were plans for a rail link from somewhere in the region to athens. If you feel flush, there is a taxi service that can take you. Once in Triz, you could touch base with SY Lady X or with the owner of Posiden internet cafe (very nice german...

completely unused and not installed. Purchased from "Merlin", includes the switch / fuse panel, Xantrex charge controller and an Oddessy battery. It can also be installed for electric windlessess if you do not wish to run hefty battery cables upto the bow (this is why we purchased it). Problem...

we left Messolongie a month ago, it is certainly going through a transformation and yes, the marina is well under construction (joint Dutch / greek venture). There are already a couple of boats layed up. I don't think Yanis really looks after the boats as he is running around managing the work...

it works perfectly well, serviced each season, would keep it were it not for the fact I’m getting lazy (plus with two we ankle snappers running around, I’m trying to do all I can to make life easier!!). Ouma is presently in Preveza, and I’ll be over in Aug sometime to fit the new (oh I can’t...
