Steve M.
by Steve M. Flag of France 12/17/2025 NBR Rubber Sealing Plates / seal engine oil, hydraulic oil and gases Verified purchase Variant: 35041
Do not use for diesel!
This is an inferior product for fuel and should not be used for this use even though its described as being ok for fuels. I ran a quick test - I left a piece of the NBR in diesel for just under 4 days. In this short time it had swollen an extra 1mm from its original 3mm.
SVB won't give a refund for the gasket as I'd already cut the 1X1 metre sheet. A nice waste of money and time but a lot better than removing broken down rubber from the fuel system (would SVB pay for this?).
Solution - use Nitrile Cork

Rust removal
I've used this product on my borg warner gearbox before paint. Seemed to neutralise the rust well and as I've just rebuilt the box it looks ready for another 10k hours.

It delivers on its promises!
Bought on the recommendation of a friend - it's really perfect for simple and recurring wood treatment on boats.

It's always nice to browse through it.

But I usually search online in the SVB portal.
Horst K.
by Horst K. Flag of Austria 12/17/2025 NEMO 230 Dinghy / Slatted floor / 2.5 person / 2.25 m / max. 3.3 HP Verified purchase Variant: 55782 in use on a Bénéteau -
Excellent value for money
Dinghies don't last very long in the Mediterranean. After just a few years, signs of deterioration appear. I've had expensive dinghies with keels that were scrap after five years if you don't immediately put them away or cover them. (It even says in the manual to protect them from sun and UV radiation.)

But it doesn't matter; at that price, I just buy a new one every few years!

I can add more about the handling characteristics of the Torqeedo next season!

Horst K.
by Horst K. Flag of Austria 12/17/2025 TRAVEL 903 Electric Outboard / 2.5 HP / 915 Wh / short shaft Verified purchase Variant: 33294 in use on a Bénéteau -
Looks great, ultra-lightweight, good handling
I don't have much experience with it yet, but I'll be using it next season.

My first impression is very positive: ultra-quiet and easy to handle. The outboard itself, without the battery, is super light, and the battery, at 6 kg, is no heavier than a jerrycan. I sold my old outboard; it was too heavy, too cumbersome, and there was always the risk of my passengers bruising their ribs when starting it ;-)

Therefore, a smaller dinghy is sufficient, and the capacity and power are certainly more than enough to get from the anchorage to the beach or into the fishing harbor.

The only downside is that the locking mechanism (for horizontal positioning) is a bit fiddly; you have to grab the notches and give it a little nudge....

Circuit Breaker
Circuit Breaker View Ratings (15)
Satisfying
Satisfactory and affordable, this product isn't fully protected at the connections. You'll need to cover them with a good quality silicone sealant specifically designed for electrical connections to protect them.

However, I recommended this circuit breaker because of its attractive price.

Good
Impeler Not Fit
Not for my JM 2DM20 too big. I have the smallest one.
  • Disadvantages
  • Accuracy of fit
Not what I expected
I can't make use of this division into near and far ranges. The beam pattern is correspondingly poor. The coiled cable is stiff, inflexible, and simply unwieldy. I've switched back to a battery-powered LED handheld spotlight (LED Wise). For me, that's the better solution on a sailboat.
