Would appreciate more information on the "product failure" of Prop Speed. Been using this product since it first was released on all my boats....
Being an "on the job Skipper" versus an owner is a valid point. If I were working for an owner there would be other considerations. There is the...
Hehehehe! You are a lot of fun rc! I installed the last 32 volt pump you sent me a few months ago. All new bilge pumps is one of my maintenance...
Thanks Mate! Haven't been out on Moreton Bay for a while. Still need to see your new yacht! Maybe at Easter we will try for a week at Tangalooma.
