New similar ones are about 6 grand.

I had mine pulled and waiting for the rebuild. Think it is coming to end up around 2k, but the parts was about 300, so if you know how to do it yourself it should be cheap. A weaknes with these is apparently that when the engine is idle, it shakes a little, weakening clutch plates within. I do...

Hi, it must be a drop center or I need to lower my engine 2". I finally, with e help of Scott's marine, got it out today. They will take a look at it and they say it is probably cheapest to refurbish it. Will keep you guys updated!

Great! Do you know The price and the reduction of the gear? I think mine is about 1,5:1 but I need to remove it to know. It will most likely be done today. The plaque is gone, so I need to open it up. To the rest of you, thank you. Always helpful!

My drop center gearbox broke. It will not go in reverse. I am at new port richer in Florida now and if anyone have one or know where to find it, please contact me. Cheers, Anders

Generally cars and boats pollute more while being produced than they do in their entire lifespan of use. I am sorry if i offended someone with my language here, but I feel we really are destroying the earth by pumping all this oil out. I will not make a political thing out of it, as i got...

Good man! Good man! Remember to prefilter that oil and get it on your diesel tank :) Saving the world can be so... tasty! You are a true every day hero Edelweiss!

And also.... a 300 gallon tank mate. Do not need to make that run so often, and 300 gallons at 4-5 USD$ ... VS free fuel?

In time I will get a home port near burger shops, hehe! If i get a pick-up too, I can have free fuel who is much more enviromentally friendly than to rape the oceans and suck out the blood of the earth. Double win. Also, my future fuel will help clean the air until it is used as a fuel. And it...

I ran from Norway to Africa on B100 An old diesel engine will run on B100. Diesel engines was made in the late 1800`s by Rudolf Diesel. They originally ran on peanut oil, but since that was hard to come by in Northern Europe at the time, a waste product of petrol production (now called diesel...

I am currently in carrabelle, going south to ft. Lauderdale area. Is there ant junkyards on The way down who might have trawlers?

Hi, my mast was rotten, so i needed to take it down. Anyone know of a used One, or where i can Get a new?

much oblidged Thank you, I will try that!

What yard made the Fu Hwa Europa? I am to register my boat in the British Virgin Island, but they want the "name and address of the builder"... wow... Does anyone know where I can find that info? Cheers, Anders

I want to take the short route and do it really slow. If it saves time and fuel, it is great. I figure i got the most scenic run from The Bahamas to The VI`s anyway. At least with my white beach and palm trees fetish, hehe!

Yeah, I`ll do that :) I did not realize it was a channel there. I read about one channel going across florida, but somehow i figured it was not finished because of environmental reasons. Glad to hear I was wrong.

Hehe, it is just a joke. Based on the John Cleese sketch: snopes.com: John Cleese Letter to USA It is a joke, supposed to make people laugh, but i guess that "taking a piss on ourself" like the british would have explained, it is easier for European than Americans. I did not make the...

Haha! When we touch in to the subject, I must shed some more light on it: Taken from here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/309535399061183/doc/309535682394488/ This is the case: By Anders Kanten in Norgesveldet - America must rejoin The Norwegian Empire · Edit Doc · Delete "In light of your...

Yes, hehe. It is hauled now in Carrabelle. Planning to get the Marina to check her out. Being from Norway all this surveyor things seems a bit much. I know it is a wise thing to do, but nobody does it here. 28K is not a lot of money for a boat like that (no offense to anyone). I can handle a...

My boat is in carrabelle, but I thought more people would understand where I was going without a map if i said Panama City. I am not planning to stress, but I need to do it in less than a month due to business in Ft Lauderdale in October month.

Hehe, I know hurricane season is on its peak. This is the whole route I will be taking, but in all I need to be close to florida during hurricane season. I was thinking about 14 days to Ft Lauderdale, but a month at most if unlucky with weather. 2 months prepping and fixing the boat in Ft...

Thank you. I figured about two weeks roughly. The boat was first listed as a 60k boat, but after a few months, we got if for 28k. It was some divorce thing that needed to be settled with cash fast, so I was on the lucky end of that marriage, hehe! I do not really know much about the boat. I am...

This is the rough route. I do not have any sea charts yet, but I am curious about how long I should plan for the trip, marinas anchorages and such. I plan to go in the beginning of September.
