Re: Engine Zinc Blocked

You really do need some zinc in the raw water cooling system, even with a galvanic isolator. So a small metal wire brush, or figure out what size threads they are supposed to be (pull the old zinc...

I have a westerbeke 44 and the same style of heat exchanger. Remove the end cap screw on the heat exchanger. Put a thin flat edge screwdriver to pry off the end cap, and it should just pop off. You...

It is the difference in pressure that causes movement, and so temperature should have no affect on the pressure forces on the sails

Re: Oceanis 38 to buy or not to buy

I have the Oceanis 393, 2003 model year, and enjoy her a lot. I sail with little kids, and so need to be able to handle most of the tasks single handedly. The in-mast reefing is a bonus for that....

I just did this with my 39 footer, and bulb keel. I found one gallon of the 2000e covered the boat bow to stern, and then did 5 coats over a few weeks. The time between coats is up to a few weeks,...

Yes, I agree that the little glass fuse isn't inline with the windlass. It is there to close a relay, when the engine is running, to allow the main line for the windlass to give it power. If the...

Mine is not an excharter, and I have fuses in both slots. They are horizontal just like you show, but I can only speak to the function of one of the fuses. Definately controls the windlass.

I don't have the 361, but I own an Oceanus 393 from the same year. I know the fuses work my ancho windlass, or at least one of them does.
They work a relay that is in my forward head right behind...
