I have a pair designed to fit the same toerail but closed with side rollers I was going to fit to my Moody which has long since been sold. You can buy new but are very expensive. If you don't find any others you can pm me but I am away for some time

Its ok - gone back to SN -they now have stock

tried them - they all prefer John Guest products and stock only 12mm fittings

Would be pulling my hair out if I had any left trying to find a stockist with stock of Whale fresh water plumbing parts - particularly 15 mm pipe in red and blue ( I think this is the industry standard) but retail outlets do not stock it - There is a place in Ipswich but they do not...

I bought this propeller recently with only limited information hoping it would fit my boat. Alas this is not the case The shaft size and taper are different. Its not possible to re-engineer so reluctantly I have to move it on. The propeller I reckon is about 12 years old, does not appear...

But wondering about power/ strength of the actuator -

Thanks I have given this more thought. Bicycle brake won't work because not enough space between shaft and hull. I will use an automotive 12 volt actuator wired to ignition switch (to avoid accidental misuse) . Method of engagement with the shaft is still under consideration - coupling...

Thanks for replies . I have a SL horizon 1500 express windlass. I don't think it has reed sensor or magnet. I thought I could fit one - perhaps in front of the windlass on a intermediate pulley (helps with roller to windlass angle) I was hoping there could be a wireless version - because I...

On my to do list is to fit the remote switch for the windlass which has been sitting on board for some years! However I would want to combine it with a remote chain counter also to be located in the cockpit. I'd prefer a digital display rather than counting the seconds the chain is...

Want a strong bow locker for the dinghy to act as storage and a step/seat, Dinghy is Ribeye 270 HS so aluminium bottom. Have not seen any ready made products for this size dinghy - (zodiac made one for a 5c m rib) But don't fancy making one from scratch . One off GRP would be too expensive...

Using the gearbox to stop rotation means selecting reverse gear - its then very difficult to disengage so want something easier that I can fit without a lift out and which is not expensive - unlike a feathering prop which also has other issues

I want to make and fit a brake to my propeller shaft 35mm. There is not enough clearance between the shaft and the hull to fit a disc for a calliper - like automotive disc brake so I am thinking to fit an actuator with a curved shoe - 12 volt control from wheel is an advantage. Anyone...

I attach photo of my existing sink. The positions of the sinks should be reversed with the smaller one nearer the bulkhead to the left - but it won't reverse so best to replace. The galley benefits from a drop down cover over the cooker but that's probably going to be lost when I...

Looking for a used and working starter motor for a Volvo Penta TMD 22P with insulated negative to keep as a spare - maybe also an injector

Thanks for all the replies - I think Runaground summed it up well. I'll go for a domestic sink with an insert basin for other tasks. My Bavaria has a particularly poor sink model - Both sinks have a sloping side which mitigates against temporary storage (for kettle etc) whilst on the move...
