Petroleum Heater
Petroleum Heater View Ratings (520) €49.95
perfect for bivouacking
Heats up very quickly, quite stable; I use it when I'm fishing in my tent....
The only downside is transporting it in a vehicle.
Personally, I put it in a large bag, and then in the original box... some kerosene can spill when transported in a car when it's full.
Otherwise, it's a great way to heat up anywhere; no need for batteries, just a lighter and you're good to go.

WHALE MK6 V-Pump View Ratings (20) €76.95
It rattles after 4 weeks of use, smells unpleasant, and washing both hands is impossible since you have to pump with one hand. A foot pump is the better option.

Gypsy Cap for Dorado
LOFRANS Gypsy Cap for Dorado View Ratings (1) €73.91
Wrong part no real follow up
I ordered the part online, there were no options for the part, the part arrived and is slightly different in that it has a bolt through the centre and a spring loaded locking pin in the side. I emailed to find a solution, 4 weeks and two emails later still no solution Im out of pocket and still have a broken windlass
Martin E.
by Martin E. Flag of Germany 4/2/2026 Handle for Offshore & Flushline Hatches Verified purchase Variant: 42440
Very poorly made
To lock the handle, there's a blue slider. The counterpart into which the lock engages is very poorly made, requiring extensive rework by the customer.

Furthermore, the outer handle has two grooves designed for rubber seals, but only one sealing ring is ever installed. Therefore, the closures are not watertight.

O-rings do not fit VP-Saildrive 130S
The O-rings do not fit the original drain plug with Volvo O-ring for the Saildrive 130S.
Line for fender
The line is well-made.

However, I wouldn't buy this fender line again with the Kudelfender (item no. 10467). The eyelet isn't positioned optimally.

SEATEC Ball Fender / red View Ratings (419) €58.95
The material is not very soft
I haven't used the fender yet. The material isn't very soft, which makes the fender a bit misshapen. I've had it inflated with air for about a month and a half, but it's not as nicely rounded as I'd like.

However, I think the fender will do the job.

RAYMARINE S1 Tiller Drive Unit View Ratings (3) €967.95
Male plug not connected to the cylinder
Fresh out of the box, the ram doesn't work. One of the two wires on the ram simply wasn't connected to the male plug. Carefully disassembling and reassembling the plug was a bit tedious. The plug's materials still seem quite fragile. It's not waterproof. I tinned both wires before reassembling it for a better connection. The question is, is this acceptable for a €1000 product?
For your information, this is the third ram (and the second electronic one) of this brand and type that I've used in 20 years on the same sailboat. The very first ram still works reasonably well (as a temporary fix), but its plug has been "dead" for a long time, burned out by UV rays! So the internal quality of this type of ram isn't the issue. This comment doesn't guarantee the effectiveness and lifespan of this new ram. Time will tell.

Arno S.
by Arno S. Flag of Germany 4/2/2026 COOL'N DRY Dorade Ventilator / 210 mm Verified purchase Variant: 10112
From the outside it looks fine. The inside is very cheaply made.
Unfortunately, the mechanism broke after only two weeks, and the fan can no longer be closed. It initially seemed to be of good quality, but the internal components are of poor quality.

very pretty
tip
It's pretty much the same as the original except the diameter of the nozzle is too "big" compared to the original part, it's a mediocre copy, it works but it's average.
Everything was great, would gladly come again!!!
quick and uncomplicated.

Functions
The battery voltage is displayed accurately. Hence the 2 points. However, it's not mentioned that a quiescent current is still drawn after the display is switched off. This ultimately drains the onboard battery when not in use.
