Another thumbs up for the yellow ones from e-bay. Bought 7 or 8 years ago for about £13 following a recommendation here. Paid for themselves many times over

When I made my comments earlier about Moody v Bav centre cockpit I thought I'd made it plain enough that I thought they looked good boats. My comment about keels was very much tongue in cheek but obviously went over several heads. If I offended I apologise. It was meant to be a lighthearted...

Can't speak for the Bavaria but I have a Moody 44 centre cockpit. The cockpit is a bit higher than aft cockpit boats but that has the advantage of visibility. Also gives a more comfortable ride as you're in the best part of the boat for pitching movement in rougher weather. Drier too. We love...

Biggest issue for you is the external surface between high and low water marks (splash zone) where corrosion will be greatest. When new the piles were probably coated with a decent glass flake epoxy but in the splash that is unlikely to last more than 6 or 7 years, less if there is any abrasion...

I was lucky enough to sail on her for a week in 1972 leading up to the start of the Olympic sailing in Kiel. An amazing experience even though I, and the other lucky few, were excluded from taking part in much. She was crewed by cadets in the German navy and operated like a well oiled machine...

Filling before priming is a lazy way of doing the job, but will usually not show any defects until well after any warranty period is over. Cast iron is difficult to clean properly before coating as it traps water and salt in the many pits and pores of the surface. Ideal situation is to blast...

I have several on my Moody ranging from vertical opening hatches like your picture through fridge and coolbox lids to seat over toilet in aft heads. All work without problem provided you learn to not accidentally touch them. The one in your picture is mounted on the hatch cover much too close...

This is what I have in both showers. Five years liveaboard and 8 years light use before they are both going strong. Occasionally a small piece of debris gets caught in the one way outlet valve of the pump but now I know about it the solution only takes a few minutes

I have a Fortress FX23 as a kedge on a bracket on the pushpit. A few years ago my 25kg Delta failed to reset when the wind changed and strengthened on a muddy bottom. Hastily replaced by the Fortress which stopped us dead and held perfectly for the night. Delta now replaced with a Knox which is...

ColinR. I have a similar situation to you with my D5L. Seven day timer with multiple heat settings. It often shuts down when it reaches the correct temperature with the controller still saying it's operating but doesn't restart until the temperature drops well below the set level. I find it...

I had a similar question a few weeks ago. I'd been unable to find rated shackles in Greece so spoke to Geoff Crowley (of this parish) at Knox Anchors who supplied my anchor a couple of years ago. I'd bought new 10mm chain at the same time all connected with a Kong swivel but wanted to get rid...

Nothing needed except TEPAI now provided you are staying in Greek waters so no need to go to the Port Police. When you leave there's no paperwork either provided the boat is out of the water. If you leave it in the water at a marina you are supposed to deposit registration document with the Port...

Installed a new Hotpot 3 years ago and very pleased with it. Boat is in Greece and the deciding factor was delivery by ASAP was far better than Surecal direct. In the event the calorifier delivered was slightly damaged and ASAP replaced with no hesitation. Delivery aside I wish I'd gone for...
