Richard That is very very impressive work and those photos with attached instructions give me a very clear plan to follow. I am much obliged . On anchor off coast of Istria now and back ireland late October . Have a bit of work ahead of me in the interim though ! Than k you indeed regards .

Hallelujah, problem solved by your and RobbieW ‘s great advice . My gratitude to you both for your expertise matched only by sense of utter stupidity at not having dealt with this properly long ago . Keyed in setting six on the belt load manager and alternator noW running for an hour and a...

I’ll ask the electrician to do that when I get back to base . Could prove interesting and informative , keeping it simple instead of all,this fancy gizmo stuff , but , I hear great reports about the Balamar kit and it’s meant to make life simpler and the batteries last longe so will persevere a...

as far as I am aware I am not using belt manager unless the installer pre set on installation. It never featured in any discussions I’ve had or the lengthy correspondence . Had to check what “ belt manager “ meant to be perfectly candid ! Will hack on cruising with this set up for next 6...

That is excellent work by you . ill try and get same done . We’re here in Dublin , boat in Zadar Croatia , so won’t be hands on . The maintenance agenda list keeps growing !

i Will get the Hallberg Rassey components for the central opening section of the screen retro fitted and will certainly ask how they might help but the fact that there is no real ongoing “ ownership “ anymore for issues faced by Malo owners means self reliance is required which is why...

Exactly . Seems to have just really come on with a vengeance in last 12 months . Couldn’t get to boat in spring this year and in September it had really taken hold . Having it looked at by local crowd in Croatia but don’t want a bodge job so may need to take a more radical approach next season...

Obliged for the steer , thank you . got a very good reply .
