Beneteau 510 Santa Cruz
I just purchased this vessel, all shower pumps are missing and y valves, can some one help me determine which pumps to purchase. I also want to test my own rigging ideas welcome. I am also installing a new Duogen wind hydro generator, any comments welcome. I also plan to purchase emergency life raft, comments welcome, And most of all I will need radios and maybe some equipment to attempt to get internet while on Pacific passage. Sailing from Calif to Singapore ASAP. Thanks Ron Avery email: ravery10@yahoo.com

With all due respect, my advice would be to SLOW DOWN.

You are asking some fundamental questions. Most people planning on attempting this type of voyage would have some deep opinions on these matters which for you seem like wide open questions.

Ron,

1. diaphragm pumps are best for shower sumps, install a check valve between the sump and the pump. Y valves for shower sumps?

2. No clue what you're asking.

3. Try www.cruisersforum.com, search on Duogen, lots of discussions in the electrical section.

Before you get the Duogen check around on the internet. Many disappointed people. And this is the most expensive wind generator on the market!

While a friend sailed on a 40 footer to Hawaii and couldn't rave enough about it. They didn't use it as a wind genny, IIRC, they trailed it, but I could be quite wrong.

IIRC?

I must be the only person that can't figure our what IIRC means. I have tried to put any combination of words together that I can think of and it still eludes me ... It's been driving me crazy for months! So despite the embarrassment ... I have to know. :redface: (will somebody please help me out)
