IMHO We have a Panda washer (see Internet) it is 120VAC and does not have a dryer but it spins so dry that you only have to hang the clothes in the saloon for a short time. We have used it for over a...

Re: Sounds Strange to me?

Re: Overheated my Perkins! What damages?

One thing I would add is a "no water alarm" in the intake line after the sea strainer. Pretty cheap, about $100 installed with a unique sound so that you recognize that you have low or no sea water...

Re: It's down to two your thoughts

Both boats will get you to the Bahamas, the OI 41's have been around the world. I would hate to see you pay more than $25K for either. Both will need your care, love, attention, and about $30-$50K.
