Hello everyone, I hope you're all well, I've noticed an engine oil leak through this small hole at the back of the block above the bell and under the turbo. My engine was rebuilt in 2022 and now runs at 628hours, I've always avoided going above 1600-1800rpm thinking it was better, but VOLVE says this leak is due to clogging because my engine has to run at 2200-2400rpm from time to time and most often at 2000-2100rpm. thank you all

Hello Michael, THANK YOU, and maybe we'll see each other this summer, it would be nice to chat, I'm on Navily,

Thank you very much! it's so good to have this information! did you have to change the VELCRO? if so, did you buy it or did you have to? it seems to me that the one on the boat is quite effective,

Hi, my boat is in Santa Teresa di Gallura, we stayed in Alghero for a few weeks, but we prefer the east side. In terms of budget it was the same price for the Port. We were in Spain before and it was easier to do the work, like anti-fouling and other. I will contact Onda Blue I had purchased from them in 2025 could you tell me more or less the cost of changing the standing rigging And I hope we will see in Sardinia, I'll be there from 28-4 to 2-05 and all summer from 6-07 to 20-08 cdt bruno

Hello Marth-Finn, what courage to have dismantled this window, do you have any photos of the dismantling from the inside for example, I think we're all a bit afraid of this infiltration point, on my boat I regularly grease the rubber but it's true that I'm afraid that one day I'll have to intervene, so if you have any pictures to show us it would be great, thank you.

Hello Michael Thanks for your information, it's a pleasure to read you. You're right, removing the mast allows a lot of checking that would otherwise be impossible. The fact is that the boat is in Sardinia and it's not easy to find the right yard. Did you buy the cable rigging from SVB? How did you take the measurements with the old ones or before dismantling? Is this the first time you've changed them on your elan 434? since 2006? On my boat, the standing rigging is original and still in good condition. I'm afraid the new one won't be as good.

Hello everyone, my Elan 434 Impression is from 2006, I love this boat. I would like to change the standing rigging, has anyone already done this? I would like to know if it is necessary to remove the mast absolutely or if there is another solution thank you in advance for your help,
