RECOMMENDED SPARES
For ocean passages a spare water turbine and shaft connector are recommended. When speeds of
over 8 knots are frequently encountered a coarse pitch turbine should be chosen as the spare to allow
a choice. To cater for accidental damage in the wind driven mode, it is suggested that a spare pair of
blades be carried Other spares worth considering are 2 bearings as an insurance policy, 2 rectifiers
(unlikely to be required unless polarity is accidentally reversed), shaft seal (regular replacement
required, dependant on use), pivot pin & bush set, and a shaft connector to cater for wear or over
strain.
