I also have the workshop manual (36mb) and the mechanic's self-study manual (11MB) but TF will not accept uploads this large. If you PM me with a file sharing link (Drop Box, for example), I can upload these files there.

Ok - now TF has been tweaked to allow .pdf uploads. I hope the attached files will be of use!

I tried to upload some workshop manuals I have for a thread where the member needs them. But I can't, since .pdf files are no longer a supported format. Surely this must be an oversight!

I have a number of manuals, including the workshop manual, which I think may be of use to you...but I find we can apparently no longer upload .pdf files on this new platform. Disappointing and downright PRIMITIVE!

The GL 40 was only produced with twin engines. I have never operated a GL40, so I can't specifically say how it would handle on one engine. However, if you search around on this site, you will find a number of discussions on this topic. After having read these threads over the years, it seems...

My preference is for depth under the keel (or in my specific case, the fins). This is how I have it configured. If I were sharing and comparing depth information with a lot of others, I might feel differently. And if I were to spend a lot of time cruising in waters with significant tides, I...

Welcome aboard!

Very cute!

Some type of tank vent hosing?

Glad you emerged from this event safely! It will be interesting to learn about what the USCG had to say...

Beautiful. Most impressive!

Thank you for the offer/suggestion, sMartin! Unfortunately, we won't launch until 4 June in Greece. I'm doing the detailed itinerary planning now and know this much: Greece: 4-28 June Albania: 28 June - 8 July Montenegro: 8 July - 17 July Croatia: 17 July - late August Slovenia: Late August...

Just before sending my prior life raft of for scheduled service, I got some friends together on a summer evening and we went down to a dock and deployed it...just to get familiar with the whole experience. It inflated upright. We practiced boarding. I flipped it over and practiced flipping it...

This could be quite possible. I am working on the detailed itinerary now. Will let you know how it looks when finished.

Interesting! We are booked in Venice at Santelena Marina in Venice 3-8 September.

This has been significantly revised. New plan: Lavrio, Greece > Piraeus > Ionian > Albania > Montenegro > Croatia > Slovenia > Venice > Truck transport from Venice to Genova & re-launch > Toulon, France (for the winter)

Same here. My solution was to simply remove the avatar picture altogether.

I couldn't agree more with Snapdragon's comment about local service. Our first life raft came with the boat and had poor service representation throughout Europe. After shipping it to have the service performed every three years, we decided to pronounce it at end-of-life after year 12. The...

For what it's worth, I'm using the latest FireFox (on Win10) and I am getting NO ads anywhere in TF ...thus far. Maybe it's because of my non-US IP address??

I hadn't thought of that, but I think you must be exactly right on this!

No 90+ in the poll here yet. I was sure there would be! I've read about a couple of 100+ sailors (e.g. sail boaters) here in Sweden!

Agree, it was #2 on my short list, but didn't end up making the cut because of: 17.6kg (38.8 lbs).

We were actually most-impressed by a Carbon Fiber folding eBike called "Hummingbird". Made in the UK. It ticked all our boxes and then some. Only 10.3 kg (22.7 lbs), which is amazingly light. https://hummingbirdbike.com/products/electric#parentHorizontalTab2 HOWEVER... we could not justify...

This post will probably be only of interest to European readers, as the brands I speak of here are only practically available in Europe. I have been researching replacement folding eBikes for some time now. My old bikes (link below) provided respectable service for about 7 years, but their time...

I'll bite...but this topic may end up requiring its own thread if it gets much action! Upon putting our boat up in Greece for the winter, we, as usual, off-loaded small, valuable, theft-worthy things. Portable radio, EPIRB, binocs, Navionics chart cards, etc. Arrived home in Sweden and put...
