Hatch Vent
LEWMAR Hatch Vent View Ratings (27) €69.95
Good Product
Easy to install, taking care to drill the hole slowly through the porthole (I turned the hole saw by hand).
It protrudes very little and doesn't let rain through.

Upgrading to USB-C
I am replacing the existing USB-A connectors by this one. It requires using pieces of the old one and combine with pieces of this one. They are of the same size and the work isn't too hard.

Sven S.
by Sven S. Flag of Germany 2/25/2026 Fender Cleaner Spray No. 03 Verified purchase Variant: 62481
unsuitable for fender cleaning
I used this product to clean my approximately 8-year-old Fenders. I sprayed it on liberally, spread it with a hard sponge, let it soak for 30 minutes, rinsed it with water and dish soap, and dried it. The result, apart from a slight shine, was that the Fenders looked just as dirty and worn as before.

(Photos are available, but I can't upload them.)

Axel S.
by Axel S. Flag of Germany 2/25/2026 Fork Terminal for Rail Line Verified purchase Variant: 11371 in use on a Kortenbach & Rauh - Sigma 27
Still no assembly instructions.
I actually really like this type of railing. It looks neat and is easy to adjust and install myself. However, I find it very annoying that no assembly instructions are included and can't be found either at Plastimo or here. Okay, it might be unnecessary since it's almost self-explanatory. Nevertheless, it would be more reassuring if the correct installation procedure were described for a safety-critical component.

Especially since, after two years, the cable in the terminal has a centimeter of play. Did I do something wrong? Do I need to tighten it regularly? Is the construction perhaps not as stable as it seems? That's the kind of information I would expect to find in instructions.

Easy to wear, you really stay clean.
I'll wear knee pads on the second day to protect my knees. The fabric is a bit thin for working on your knees.
Michael K.
by Michael K. Flag of Switzerland 2/25/2026 High-Load Battery Shut-Off Switch / 600A Verified purchase Variant: 29866
Dangerous
This switch is a design flaw and life-threatening. We almost set our boat on fire in the middle of the Arabian Sea. I installed it as a safety precaution before the Multiplus 2, and it turned out to be a major risk factor. Upon opening it, the problem became clear: the round contacts, resting on a flat screw, have far too little contact area for these current levels. Even during installation, it's a typical example of engineering ineptitude—theoretically sound, practically a design flaw. I hope the many versions of this switch, whether Seatec or original, aren't all equally poorly designed.

by Anne M. Flag of South Africa 2/25/2026 Foot Switch DOWN / red Verified purchase Variant: 32763
Foot Switch DOWN / red
LOFRANS Foot Switch DOWN / red View Ratings (48) €18.95
Good product BUT...
Same with the black switch - the rubber doesn't last so you have to buy a whole new switch just to replace the rubber casing. Also SVB only use UPS as their international courier service and UPS is terrible in Panama, South Africa and anywhere in the Caribbean so I am reticent to purchase from SVB again (who are amazing in their customer service) simply because of their preferred courier. I wish they would use Fedex or DHL express.

Vincent T.
by Vincent T. Flag of France 2/25/2026 SWIFT RL Headlamp Variant: 34145
SWIFT RL Headlamp
PETZL SWIFT RL Headlamp View Ratings (2) €108.95
Completely unsuitable for sailing
After three years of use with two of these headlamps, I'm happy to see their batteries finally reach the end of their life and to upgrade. There's no red light, the light is far too intense, the lamp gets hot, and to turn it off you have to press the button three times, forcing you to cycle through all the brightness levels and blinding everyone on board. The micro USB port quickly deteriorates, and it no longer charges, or charges poorly, so you often think the headlamp is charged when it isn't at all.

Certainly great for the mountains, but completely unsuitable for the sea.

Foot Switch UP / black
LOFRANS Foot Switch UP / black View Ratings (45) €18.95
Good product BUT...
It is a good product but the actual rubber for the switch doesn't last and often perishes after about a year meaning you have to buy a whole new switch just to replace the rubber cover.
Also, unfortunately SVB only use UPS as their international courier and UPS are terrible in most countries except parts of Europe and America.

SX2 Windlass
LOFRANS SX2 Windlass View Ratings (2) €1,109.20
The product - the winch seems to be ok , but the box was opened when I got it and all the owners manual warranty were missing , so I had to look for them in the inernet in order to install it . Since I havent finished with the job yet , I cant tell if it functions allright , I hope so though . I am very displeased with SVB .

Very susceptible to corrosion. Do not expose to sea spray (and yes, the sea is not always calm); I had to replace the bell housing containing the centrifugal clutch bearings at my own expense.
