I need to purchase the sump control box for the forward head on my B43. The pump will not turn on automatically anymore, just when I throw the switch. Any ideas?
I’ve decided that the time has come to replace the main on My 2010 French built 43. Original main is Elstrom sail and has stood up well, don’t know cloth used, still has good shape but put a couple of tears in main during double handed cross channel race and the stitching is starting to go.
replaced genoa 3 year ago.
What I looking for is experience of or advice on having the mainsail fully batoned. Mostly do cruising and some club racing but want to ensure longevity
french built 2010 43 has been very dry down below but now a slow leak has occurred which is showing at the limber holes under the floor board in forward cabin. Bilge pump goes every 3hrs for 20secs. Not sure if it’s fresh/rain water or salt, tastes slightly salty. Water pump doesn’t cycle so not fresh. Checked all sea cocks and bow thruster no obvious leaks. Think it must be deck fitting leaking in heavy rain, which we have had. Not on board as laid up afloat so can’t monitor easily.

Anyone had similar any suggestions
