Suitable and good quality product
The product works very well.
Valves as they should be.
I replaced my aging valves with Trudesign valves. The valves are smooth and look really good.

Thermostat Mixing Valve
Thermostat Mixing Valve View Ratings (1) €109.95
Functions
However, the installation wasn't great and I had trouble getting it to seal properly. I wish the mixing valve came pre-assembled, like with other manufacturers.

  • Compatibility

Flexible assembly
I bought the boiler because of its high performance and flexible installation options. The sliding rings were the most important criterion for me. This allowed me to attach the boiler to the existing threaded bolts. I found it a disadvantage that the thermostatic mixing valve wasn't pre-installed and could only be purchased and installed separately. Getting it to seal properly took some time...

It delivers on its promises.

Cable Crimping
Cable Crimping View Ratings (2) €5.95
Good things take time.
Custom-made products don't just come off the shelf; they take time. SVB's support was remarkable, and the delivery time was shorter than expected.

I'm using the perfectly crimped cables for my camper van. The previous US-made one had an unbearable mess of cables around the batteries, which was solved with proper terminal clamps, distributors, and crimped cables. Excellent problem solver!

I'm now using these cables for the Victron 7515, which will have a battery disconnect switch to combat the gradual power drain during periods of inactivity, and an Anderson flush-mount box for the solar panel.

Perfect!

Antifouling Thinner
SEATEC Antifouling Thinner View Ratings (23) €14.95
Very productive
The antifouling paint could be easily thinned and applied in the desired thickness. Initially, we used a little too much because the product is very concentrated and no mixing ratio recommendations are provided. However, after a short time and a little practice, the dosage worked well.

Important: Not all rollers used for applying antifouling paint are chemically resistant to this thinning solution. It's best to test beforehand or check the product label for relevant information.
Disappointed
Very disappointed with the quality of GEBO brand deck hatches. One year after installation, the seals are already starting to deteriorate and leak. The locking handles sold with them are of very poor quality and tend to wear out very quickly, making it impossible to open or close them from the outside. I do not recommend this product.

Good things come to those who wait!
Not only is it the most affordable radar fuel level sensor on the market, it's also by far the easiest to install and configure. I have two other sensors from two different manufacturers installed on my boat, so I think I can make that statement.

It's going ok
Not particularly sharp, ordered a replacement hole punch online - very sharp ;-)
Do what they are supposed to do
Function.
Create order
Good piece, besides the exit for quick hanging.
Great solution
A perfect solution for the reefing line guidance on the sail, much better than the blocks before!

It does what it's supposed to.
