Dave, I have the AR10 from this website http://www.china-sail-factory.com/stocksails.aspx. Quality is outstanding and sets very well. I would call it an all purpose asym meaning good for about 80° to

I think only their surplus at this time. I think their sailmakers have rights plus I believe you need their software to get the sail in their huge manufacturing system. They can supply an ATN, actual

I considered using Somerset and spoke with Martin the owner/sailmaker. He was a helpful guy but I chose not to buy the crosscut sail from him because I really did not like the cloth he was recommendin

I have bought a sail from Dirk Sharland at National Discount Sail. Good product at that price point. Ken

You may want to consider Cliff Hunter at Lee Sails of Oregon/Washington in Portland, OR. Similar or better quality than Tasker, Cliff is a great knowledge resource and his pricing is very competitive.

I was hoping the group could help me out.... Does anyone know if there is a switch for these rope lights separate from the main breaker. I'm referring to the lights above the port and starboard settee

Thank you all for responding and being kind to a rather dim question!

Gary, If your hull is fairly clean, Starbrite Premium Marine Polish with PTEF works well without a buffer. If the topsides are chalky and oxidized I've not found anything that works well without a buf

I'd try colloidal silica.

My first thought would be colloidal silica. But I would call Interlux and ask them before using any additive. Are you using Interprotect for it's normal usage and application? If so it works well for

I agree with Tom, once multiple layers of bottom paint or any paint for that matter become thick enough to crack it's time for complete removal. I did the job myself 2 years ago and it's a PITA.

Tom, If you are at wits end trying to find the leak you might want to try a UV fluorescent dye for engine coolant. Best when it's really dark out and using a cheap UV flashlight. With the engine runni

Tom, You're welcome. Amazon sells the dye for coolant and the UV flashlight and goggles for about $30 I believe. Good luck and let us know where the leak was. I have the same engine as you in hull 245

I'm not an authority on marine generators so take my advise for what it's worth...2 cents! I would go with option 2 as my primary if not sole solution. Changing the governed RPM of any generator to de

Tim, Five-Two-One Inc. has a pretty comprehensive line of hard start kits. I've used them on land based AC systems that were started by marginal generators. As I said in an earlier post, make sure any

Larry, I have both. A roller furling main and roller furling 135. Both in good, clean condition from a 2002 MKII hull #245. Let me know if your interested at kdg_1@... Ken

Larry, That's kdg_1 at m s n dot c o m Ken

Tom, Good point on the different RPM ranges for the two engines. I would like to offer my 2 cents on using the notorious Yanmar tach as a reference point for anything. Yanmar tachs tend to be fairly i

Always measure your WOT in gear with a clean bottom and prop and a calibrated tach. Ken

Jim, I can't recall what Yanmar engine you have, the 4JH4 or 4JH3 series but the WOT max rpm's should be 3200 and 3800 respectively. It's in your engine's best interests to be able to achieve those nu
