Hi, Some answer for you below.... Looking to purchase 2007 Targa 40 currently located NC in states. In the bilge someone has installed electrical wire staples like you Would use in a house. Theses are the plastic kind with two steel brads on either side that of course has rusted away. Did the factor...

Do you mean the whole fibreglass arch or just the stainless steel section on top?

Very smart!

Simon, try posting a message on our Facebook Group - details below.

Are these the latches?

Martin,

You should be able to get someone to rub it down and re-lacquer it. If you post a message on the YBW forum or Mallorca Boating Facebook Group someone may be able to recommend someone in Mallorca that can do this for you.

Cheers, Pete

I doubt very much whether you could get one of these at all. Maybe see if Coran or a similar manufacturer could make something to a template? Alternatively, how about getting one made in teak?

I've never know Fairline or anyone else to keep old moulds I'm afraid. Will need o be a custom job.

Very nice!

That's a comparatively recent boat so there's a good chance the factory (via your dealer) should be able to help you.

Cheers, Pete

Very nice!

If it's anything like my T34 for KAD44's you need

1) to have very long arms and reach down between the engines when lying on top of them or
2) remove the strut and power steering tank and squeeze between the engines

Neither of which are terribly comfortable or practical.

Do you know how often he replaced them? They need to replaced every 2-3 years and make sure you use the official VP parts as the copy parts are inferior.

In the top of the tank I assume?

Thanks. These are the non OEM replacements for part 854357 (DP-X, DP-E, DP-G, SP-E Drives):
