Retrofit Cable Gland
SEAVIEW Retrofit Cable Gland View Ratings (18) €34.95
Very poor quality
The plastic definitely needs to be reworked (deburred) because there are sharp edges everywhere from the manufacturing process.

While screwing it into the fiberglass hull, two screws broke. Not much force was applied; the holes were drilled with a 3mm bit. Unfortunately, one is stuck in the hull and will never come out.

Unfortunately, I can't upload any photos.

It sails like a different boat - but the square meter calculation didn't work for me.
It's quite involved and expensive to do a complete rebuild including 5 coats of Hempel High Protect II, but the first 80nm trip was a real experience. My boat has never been so fast, even though I didn't even reach the reefing point!

I had already applied Silic One to the saildrive two years ago and was very happy with it regarding fouling – practically nothing, or it could be easily removed with a sponge. That's why I did the whole boat this time.

The quantity calculation based on square meters didn't work for me. While I had 15% too much Hempel High Protect, the Primer Light and the Tie Coat were a good match in terms of calculation. But the Silic One calculation based on square meters yielded 15% too little, so I had to buy more locally.

Another disadvantage is the issue of durability. If you use the material relatively quickly, everything is fine. However, if you buy it in the spring to use it the following spring, you should bear in mind that a maximum storage period of 18 months is not much if the material is already 6 months old or more upon delivery.

Everything OK
Replacement of the windows
These windows fit perfectly as replacements for the old ones on our Bavaria 38 Cruiser. We replaced them after the old ones became very brittle and were no longer watertight. It was great that the mounting kit for the replacement window was included. Replacing each window takes about 30-45 minutes.

The service was very good.
The CMap map cannot be updated on an Apple device. Therefore, we asked SVB to do it, as we had purchased the map there and received one free update. Unfortunately, they said it was only possible if we paid. We did so and received a new map from December. Not perfect, but we're not complaining.

Spare key
The service was impeccable! They helped me find the right key and the shipping was fast! Thank you!
Good idea, unfortunately it broke after 2 weeks.
Good idea, unfortunately the item broke down after less than two weeks. The return process with SVB was completely hassle-free, but the service from Digital Yacht was extremely disappointing, which is why I cancelled the contract.

by Harald S. Flag of Germany 4/4/2026 Tasmania SC - Universal Line, full colour Verified purchase Variant: 54969
The boat is not yet in the water.
The line is used as a topping lift.
Connection preparation with open cable ends
The product is supplied with open cable ends approximately 10cm long and with a cross-section of approximately 1mm². This makes connecting it to a supply cable with a sufficient cross-section of 2.5 to 4mm² on the boat side difficult. Butt connectors cannot be used due to the different cross-sections. Screw or spring-clamp terminal connections would be more practical, in my opinion.

Rudder Position Indicator View Ratings (55) €31.95
Not what I had hoped for.
The rudder position indicator isn't what I expected. It's too small. The rudder also needs a flat surface to rest on, otherwise it won't stay in place.

I wouldn't buy it again. I don't want to badmouth the product itself, but it's not suitable for my wooden rudder.
Antifouling Spray / transparent
Antifouling Spray / transparent View Ratings (5) €21.95
disappointed
The concept is excellent: transparent antifouling spray.

But I got it everywhere; the nozzle didn't work. Product got everywhere—on the hull, on me, etc., etc.—with drips and splashes. We even changed the nozzle that came with the aerosol can, but it didn't make any difference. Every time I sprayed it, it got everywhere. A waste of money...
