Other notes and tips: |
|
|
Some 1993 models had problems with electrical wire chafe |
|
|
Poor winterizing causing hot water heater failures |
|
|
ProMariner chargers are failing (20-3, 30-3) |
|
|
Standing rigging should last 8 yrs in salt water, 20yrs in fresh |
|
|
Reroute frig drain to shower sump via a new "Y" |
|
|
Reseal emergency rudder access to avoid leaks |
|
|
Water valve under aft berth are inconvenient |
|
|
Look for Garhauer travelers with the upgrade package |
|
|
|
|
Preferences: |
|
|
Yanmar diesel (smoother below 1000rpm, easier starting) |
|
|
PSS seal |
|
|
Autoprop (avoid 3 bladed fixed prop) |
