Re: Inverter/Charger #Sabre402
Can¡¯t speak to a 402 but had a similar decision to make on our 362. ?Wanted the 3k Victron MP, instead did the 2k MP due to space restrictions. ?Several years in, very happy with it -- Zach 1995

Re: 402 head/shower drains
Our solution is still a work in progress. The plan is to put a dam where the old sump box was located, let the water drain there and use a Whale low profile bilge pump to pump it up and out the sink

Re: 402 head/shower drains
I find it difficult to believe that the head drain ties into the wet exhaust. Pumping exhaust gases into the head is not such a great idea.? Maybe it's the intake line for the manual bilge pump?

Re: Canvas cover for Sabre 36?
Two considerations:? 1) go to a specialist like Fairclough. I have had a Fairclough frame and canvas on my 402 for 10 years. I'm in Toronto so at least 6 months of harsh winter. Has only needed minor
