Re: Prop fouled and some expensive near misses

Hi Mark, yes I believe the clutch did engage. Everything felt as normal aside from the fact the boat didn't slow down, hence I thought I'd lost the prop. Thanks for your input.

C-90 widescreen trackpad button replacement

Re: Dead Solenoid?

Thanks Cat Alibi, I've checked the relays and visually at least they look in very good condition. Having said that I've read quite a few of negative reviews / problems surrounding the black brain box...

Welcome to Singapore and the SEA boating world. There are some great sailing grounds in these parts I'd highly recommend it. Check out the Anambas Islands, Tioman and Nikoi to get an idea. Things to...

Re: Lipari 41 vs. Leopard 39

Not one of your suggested options but worth a look is the Maverick 400. I bought one last year via The Multihull Company (Alexis) and have no regrets at all. Very roomy for a 40ft boat and well made....

Re: Berthing in Singapore. Experiences and opinions.
