James Taylor replied to Chris's discussion Battery Charger in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"All great advice!
Did you check the charger's "battery type" selector switch position (flood,gel,agm)?
Our Dekka agm's ( 396ah house and 98ah engine) gave us over 7 1/2 years of usage before replacement. The batteries were still…"
Mike Brown replied to sam's discussion Teak seat metal protrusions in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Sam, I have not seen anything like that on my or others 40/43s. I don't understand why they would even do such a thing considering there's no other material they could drive a brad into. Grinding the tops off flush sounds like the right…"
Mike Brown replied to Wayne's discussion Anchor upgrade in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Peter, I've also lost the scupper covers.

sam replied to Wayne's discussion Anchor upgrade in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Yep, I too have snapped a couple of the clam shell drain covers off. I have a couple of spares, but may or may not replace this time. The slack didn't seem to be the ultimate cause. Seems that wind/tide shifts and wake surge would cause the…"
Peter Obetz replied to Wayne's discussion Anchor upgrade in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Sam, we are the essentially the same. Using the same mantus bridle as you. Quick question to you and any others using a bridle. We had the bridle rubbing the sides of the bow in a recent storm and it ended up snapping off the…"
sam replied to Wayne's discussion Anchor upgrade in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"On Longhawk we use a Rocna 20KG. I changed out the chain gypsy when new to one that handles 5/16 high Test chain. Then I went with 175 ft of 5/16 HT chain tailed with 200 ft of three strand.(overkill, but I had the rode as supplied new).

Good Day,
How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on:(mr.frankkwabena0000@gmail.com) for the full details.
Have a nice day
Thanks God bless.
Mr.Frank.
