Been with Y for 5 years. 20% increase last year, 22% this year. No claims. Had enough Anyone got anyone else to try?

We have a Yamaha 40 on the back of our 3.4m walker bay. Its too big for the boat (mothership and tender) so we are looking to downsize to 'just' a 25. Any idea what a 2007 40Hp would be worth. The ideal solution would be to do a straight swap to a 25 of similar vintage.

Last trip of the summer our autopilot suffer a sudden fault with the rudder position: despite the sensor being dead ahead the computer saw it as 20 degrees to port. Nothing corrected it. Local Raymarine guy has spoken to Raymarine who are certain that the Analogue to Digital converter has...

Is there a charter market for older boats but in good condition. I’m looking at 45-50 foot catamarans. New I’m covered but they are pricey. Used I’m looking at two models: lagoon 500 in 5 cabin config and the Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 in Quattro config. The Lagoon is from 2007-09 range and the...

Seriously considering a switch to a cat. The new lagoon 46 is lovely but can’t afford it I wonder if anyone had a 450 they would mind showing me around? Thanks

I’ve obviously seen the boxes for single batteries, but what if like me you have 6 in a row? Do you put each in its own box? If so how do you connect them up without breaking the seal and defeating the point?

The Yam 40 on my tender has continued where it left off last year generating issue after issue. Having sorted the non runing/running rough/ no idle issues it decided to throw another one at me today. Was working well yesterday, loaded it on the back and went about 45 miles. Launched it at...

Overnight to Mallorca we ran at slow speed. At first light noticed starboard engine kicking out lots of black smoke (I’m guessing unburnt fuel). Tried to pop her up onto the plan but she won’t do it. Port engine tries but the starboard just isn’t having it. Hull is clean, was jetwashed 48 hours...

https://www.yachtworld.co.uk/boats/2005/sealine-s-48-3190728/?refSource=standard%20listing That S48 strikes me as a steal. Great boat, solid. Modern. Shaft drive and lowering swim platform,

we can, and do, run the genset for a lot of 240v power requirements on the boat. But it would be nice to be able to power 240v stuff without starting it, especially in quiet anchorages etc. How simple would it be to convert say, the galley 240v socket, to run of an inverter. What size is...

Seralia has the orginal AC system fitted in the mid 90s by Condaria (now part of the Dometic group). The system works (yay) but is quite low power by modern standards. The big issue is the fans in the cabins are very noisy and while I know I could spend £20,000 on a whole new system Id rather...

Does anyone have any experience of the moorings buy to charter scheme? It looks interesting - we like the idea of a CAT but don’t like the style/layouts of the older stuff we can afford. We only use for a few weeks a year anyway so like the idea of getting a boat which we can work towards...

My (very old) MASE IS7 genset has a yanmar engine. The local service guy can’t find an engine number on the actual unit (it’s quite tucked away). I have got the Mase parts list and diagrams which gives the engine model as the following: Yanmar 2GMFLME-2G Googling though doesn’t bring up that...

Seralia came with lighting behind the pelmets in the saloon but the originals were festoon bulbs in a string. A nice warm light but you could see the individual bulbs and they started to fail. I wanted to replace with LED for accent lighting but I don't like being able to see the individual LED...

Can anyone tell me if the E52067 4kw raydome is compatible with the RL80CRC multifunction screens?

Our mattress on Seralia is ok but could do with a little more so I decided to look for a padded topper. Tried a few boat only places but the cost was very high. Eventually I came across Snuglux (https://www.freedomis.co.uk/) who make custom shaped bedding for motor homes, but do have a boats...

I know a few of you berth out there, I wondered if any of you had a 2019 visitors rate card? I have a 2018 one, so I guess just add 15%? But an actual one would be nice

Does anyone know the current sate of affairs regarding anchoring in Mahon? Used to be that you could for a few days tucked in behind the fort and at a few other places in the harbour. I know there have been some mass evictions in past years but what was it like last summer or early this season?

Has anyone tried lining the inside of a hill to reduce the impact of wave slap in bow cabins? Used to use some pretty impressive stuff when doing high end cars Mauguit stuff years ago, I wonder if a similar modern stick on sound absorbing something would have any affect?

id like to try and get a washing machine (proper one not a plastic twin tub) in the crew cabin. Thing is the access is very tight. Ideally it would go into the crew cabin head compartment but the door access is only 385mm. I don't mind taking it to bits a bit (case off etc) and I have seen this...
