Re: 380 S2: Separating windlass from port engine
#380s2
I removed the relay on my 440. I found that it worked by interrupting the ground on the windlass solenoid. I just wired that directly to ground and now you can run the windlass without an engine

Re: Emergency Hatch Recall
Is it typical for the fixed glass escape hatches to leak or is this a sign of impending failure?

Re: 220 vs 110 power
They never do, do they?
My appliances are likely older than yours, but if you happen to have a Miele wt2780, i have the part no for the 60hz drain pump. They are easy to change.

Major consideration is 220v European equipment operation in states. Many devices are

Re: Flexifold prop issue
Hi, it's possible you have mixed up the blades from each sail drive. I contacted flexofold about a problem I had refitting props and they mentioned each prop blade set is matched.

Re: Emergency Hatch Recall
I'll add that you should periodically inspect the rivets that hold the latch strikes to the frame for galvonic corrosion. If you replace them be sure to use tefgel on them to make them last longer.
