sam replied to Peter Obetz's discussion A/C thru hull caution!!!!! in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Similarly, I changed out my aircon thru hull and valve a while back. Seems to be an issue.
Recently, I was changing the aircon seawater pump and luckily found a valve on the distribution manifold (one pump serves two aircon units) that was fully…"
sam replied to Cam Whitlock's discussion Freezer problem in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Mike nails the freezer (and Refrigerator) item.

Cam Whitlock replied to Cam Whitlock's discussion Freezer problem in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Mike - great information! I was hoping that there is a way to remove the wood grills. What type of tool did you find worked that didn’t damage the wood? "

Sorry it took so long to get back to you, but I am not online that often. Yes the Sea of Cortez "used to be" Giant Manta country, but the fishermen killed most of them off.......go figure, you cannot eat them, they would be like eating an elephant......yuk. They make far better friends! No I don't have a web page.
Hugs, Terry & Tigger
