There is no reason why forces should be higher on the external side of the fins, since the rotation angle is exactly the same in both directions....
I'm not sure if the subject was already debated in this forum. It certainly was - extensively! - in the European forum, on YBW website. And...
Sorry, I can't answer that. I crunched about 12 hundreds miles right after purchasing the boat, to bring her to my home berth, all at planing...
Do you mean ONLY in neutral? What happens under load?
I never had to repaint or re-gelcoat any of my boats (so far), but I did have a few occasions to discuss the alternative with some specialists....
Yup, surprising indeed - as well as the fact that the things are polarity sensitive and not marked accordingly. Looking at the bright side, it...
Just to explain the "more than likely" bit in my previous post, it was meant as a reply to yours, which before your editing ended with "They must...
Yup, more than likely. I didn't consider asking the producer because these days it's hard to go beyond an answering machine - if you can even find...
Well, if all 12 bulbs are exactly the same, you can try one with a temporary connection. If it works on both polarities (as it's reasonable to...
Correct, as long as rated for an adequate current, i.e. Amps. That's what really matters, more than the voltage.
I'm not familiar with JKL stuff specifically, but whether polarity matters or not depends on the control circuit embedded in LED bulbs, rather...
Good to hear that. I posted my previous comment by heart, and it's nice to hear that my memory still serves me correctly! :) Generally speaking,...
Doh! I can perfectly see why an Azi 103 (103S, I suppose?) can look attractive. But 35 souls onboard? I mean, legally? If yes, well, only in...
Amazing thread, which I only just noticed. I'm sure you will have a stunning boat, eventually! Just a question, since I'm reasonably familiar with...
Haha, I see that we are both old enough to remember Mamet's play "Glengarry Glen Ross"... :) Excellent overview on charter, overall. Easily the...
Simple, because when I make a very basic question and I don't get any answer, I understand that I'm talking to someone who only cares about his...
It would be funny, if it weren't that I've been reiterating what you just noticed for the whole thread. Now, if you don't mind going back to the...
No, I haven't. And then you never had to deploy/recover a drogue - on any boat, I suppose. Med mooring is NOT the reason why I consider winches...
Exactly. And even if it's always a bit of a gamble to judge based on photos alone, she does look like a beautiful one indeed. I'm saying this...
I understand and accept that. I just happen to think that winches are essential on heavy boats regardless of mooring arrangement, also for safety...
