Gary,
Picture #99 in your 2006 collection shows you under the boat installing what
looks like two pieces of stainless around the upper half of the prop. I had
expected something in a 360 degrees variety. Is this the right photo? And,
you feel that these have been beneficial?
Also, I have enjoyed your Sol Surfin blog. I haven't seen a new entry in a
while. Are you off the boat?
Ted

It must have been nice in the sling. I
did it by myself in my 3mil wetsuit in 65F water in a harbor in
San Juan del Sur ,
Nicaragua .
Depth 5 feet with a 9 foot deep swell running straight in. Took me most of the
day to complete the job. It gave my legs a good work out using fins to keep my
arms up. Some fond memories of cruising working in beautiful ports.
I may have some pics of the thrusters at
our website, gallery of photos, Travel ,
Costa Rica 2005
or 2006. I installed them at low tide on a sand bar in the Puntarenas river.
They
are easy to install if you drill the holes in the right spots and you drop
pieces overboard.

controller cables
Ted.
The controller and
cables were changed last week. I had already removed the old
controller. With my skill it only took a few hours??The balance of the
instillation took about three hours because the route was difficult for the
starboard side (a sharp bend in the closet) and some of the nuts are very small
(and one was lost). Most of the job was done in the sling. It would
be very difficult in the water due to the placement of the cables below the
boat. Buying the parts on line saved at least $500. I had the boat
out last weekend and it was an amazing difference. I too would like to
see a picture of the “thrusters”.

Howard,
Have you completed the task of replacing your throttle controls and the
cables? I should be replacing mine in the next month.
Please enlighten me as to what to expect.

Ted,
Thank you.
That does help. Getting the SL3 model Teleflex was a bit of a
struggle, but it is on its way to my service shop. I’ll let you know
how the change over goes in about two weeks. I’ll be away for that time
and the further away I am from the boat and the mechanics the better for both
of us!

Howard,
I
will be replacing our throttle controls this Fall.. I had asked
Graeme Nolan, at Seawind, what controls they were now installing on new
boats since the old Teleflex 700TD is no longer available. Here is
his response.
"The
top mount
Teleflex control we now use is model
MT-3 available from Bob Litter Agencies (9648 6606). It uses the same
control cables but mounting cut-out is different to the 700TD. You will
need to have an adapter cut-out made up of wood (Teak from Caporns,
Brookvale) or some other material. Kind Regards, Graeme"
I
am hoping that my cables are in good shape. But being 9 years
old.....So, I am not able to help you with your question about cable
length, but fortunately we have two sets. You can pull one and have
it in hand to find the proper replacement. I was told by Teleflex
that both the 700TD and the newer MT-3 accept the same cable end. I
may be writing you in a few months to ask how this project came out if my
cables
do indeed need replacing.
I
have had my control box opened up, but not taken off. It appears pretty
straight forward. I don't know what the mechanic means by glue.
Hope
this has helped some.

Cook
Morning
Glory

Hello all,
I have a 1000 (#90) and must replace the
controller and cables. The controller is easy, but without pulling
out all of the cables the shop cannot determine which cables are used and
at what lengths. I’d rather have the cables in hand before they begin
work. Can any tell me what length and which model cables are used.
The controller is a Teleflex sl3 top mounted dual regular box. Has
anyone had the box and/or cable replaced? Was it a difficult job? The
mechanic is telling me that the box is glued in place and will be
completely lost in removal.
Thanks for the help.
Regards,
Howard Lieberman
