Re: Leaking fiberglass fuel tank
Good Luck on your FG tank repair
I have a larger tank 75 gal that seeks slowly.
I believe (hope) it is pinholes at a seam. The boat has other tanks built the same way and none show delamination....

Re: sales tax and import duties
As EU, your boat will be subject to VAT when you arrive there.
'Foreigners' have up to 18 months
Contact Mid Atlantic Yacht Sales in Horta Azores about paying the VAT in Azores.

Re: Self steering on wheel steered boats
Fitting a small electric tiller-arm autopilot to a Monitor is easy to do.
Then it works with no wind (calm conditions).
You 'trick' what the Monitor responds to by substituting the autopilot...

Re: Self steering on wheel steered boats
we use a Monitor to the wheel on our Pacific Seacraft 34
