Anyone have any experience with replacing the seals on their sail drives? Frequency? Root Cause? Tell tale signs of the need to replace? How difficult? Is a mechanic required? How costly?
Thanks in advance any input would be appreciated!

The whole boat will be shrink wrapped and I'm assuming sufficient energy will get through the shrink wrap to keep the batteries charged via the solar panels. Is this a good assumption? Is there any risk that the batteries will be overcharge...

Battery Meters Monitor .....
While looking at a Capella this weekend for a possible purchase I noticed the fourth battery monitor position did not appear to be functioning. Is this an indication of a bad battery? What exactly are these meters monitoring? Start #1, Start #2, House ?????? Advice would be appreciated!

Questionable info
Maybe I'm off base with this but the "PDQ 36 Manual" posted seems to be a composite of both Antares and Capella infomation which can be very difficult to follow if not down right misleading if you are looking for information on the Capella!

Northeast US Based Capella
I'm a prospective owner looking into the challenges of operating a PDQ 36 in the northeast US (greater Boston area in particular). Specifically wondering about the difficulties with tight marinas and limited winter storage and haul out facilities. Any insights would be very much appreciated!
Thanks!
