Good finish, but a serious quality control issue with a safety-critical part
I ordered Blue Wave wire guardrail terminals for my boats lifeline wires. The machining and general finish of the terminals seem good overall, but one of the supplied fittings came with the wrong or incorrect conewedge.

The problem is that the cone is a critical part of how the terminal works. If the cone does not match the wire size and the terminal design, the fitting cannot be installed safely. Three of the terminals assembled normally, but with the fourth one the difference was clearly visible. This caused unnecessary troubleshooting and stopped the installation work.

The manufacturers first reply suggested that I might have the wrong cone, even though the photo I sent clearly showed the marking C05-1x19, which is exactly the cone that should be used with this fitting. Based on this, the issue does not seem to be user error, but rather a delivery or quality control problem.

The product itself seems good when all parts are correct, but this kind of mistake in a safety-related component does not inspire confidence. With wire guardrail terminals, every part must be correct, because the lifelines are directly related to safety on board.

A bit pricey but seems to be of good quality. Time will tell how UV resistant it is.

Installed on a motorboat, useful, precise and high quality, I recommend it.

Disappointing, I do not recommend it
Very disappointed. The poor quality is obvious; the transparent part is ultra-thin and doesn't stay attached to the body of the system. After gluing it and testing it at sea, it turns out that the slightest wave throws the device out of alignment. Completely unusable, so it's going in the trash. On my previous boat, I had an identical, sturdy device that always worked, identical but from a different brand.

Bronze hand pump
This is close to a dirrect replacement for the original pump on my 1974 Hallberg Rassy. There is no room for a plastic pump on a classic sailboat. I would reccomend this pump for any application where a hand pump is required.

Either it doesn't activate, or it doesn't stop the pump. Sometimes, after rubbing the sensors, it works correctly for two hours, then doesn't activate again. I've reinstalled my float switch. It doesn't work in seawater or freshwater. I don't have any oil in my bilge.

The blades are very hard...
...that means they're also brittle.

Rounding the edges of the blades to avoid scratching the gelcoat only worked with the grinding stone I normally use to sharpen my drill bits. The Dremel with a carbide burr failed miserably.

The problem with the hardness or brittleness became even more apparent later when scraping. I gradually got more and more "gaps" in the scraping result. Eventually, it got to the point where I had to rotate the blade because the result looked like I'd used a comb. At some point, I realized that you have to place the blade gently on the gelcoat; then it lasts longer. As soon as you apply too much pressure, pieces break off, and you get the corresponding comb-like pattern.

The scraper itself isn't exactly cheap, but it's the best tool I've used so far.

I removed the first few layers because of... I scraped the hull curvature lengthwise down to the first antifouling and primer layer applied by the shipyard using a vacuum. I removed the rest with antifouling paint stripper and a scraper. Since the antifouling hardens again with the stripper, I had to clean the scraper frequently. However, since it was easy to disassemble, this wasn't a problem. Finally, I cleaned the remaining primer on the hull with 180-grit sandpaper, and that was it. The scraper and blades are great; you just need to know, or learn, how to use them.

It is recommended to order the next size up.
The manufacturer's specifications regarding the maximum shroud strength are incorrect – as other reviews have also mentioned, I had to return the schooners and choose the next larger size. SVB handled this quickly and without any problems.
