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. I installed rubber pipe insulation over each side of the bridle and it works well in keeping the bridle from rubbing on the covers. . They'll need to be replaced periodically as they'll get…"
Arne Opperud replied to sam's discussion Teak seat metal protrusions in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"I have used Boracol treatment once or twice a year. Keeps the black spots away, maintaining a grey patina.

Arne Opperud replied to Dave Shore's discussion B43 wheel leather in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"I have used mid tan shoe polish, cream type. Worked well."
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).
For a short…"

A few years ago we chartered an IP out of Burnt Store Marina and managed to go agound a couple of times so we won't be visiting your part of Florida in Sea Fox. We've been crusing the east coast - got to Maine this year - and got as far south in the Bahamas as Warderick Wells. Will be doing more Bahamas exploring in the coming winter.

I am getting a 19 Starwind. small but good to learn and grow. My goal is a live aboard event. And to cruise a lot.
by the by I am not a young bikini babe-sorry
but a nice person. (gosh that is the kiss of death isnt it?)
What do you sail, if I may ask?
