Another good reason that we went with our stabilizer tank. No hardware to
fail, works 100% of the time underway and at anchor with NO maintenance!
Disclaimer: I am going to check the water level after 3 years of use before
we leave this week on our 8 month passage to Hawaii!
Every boat we see in our cruising that uses active fins has lost the use of
them at one time or other. Owners also have them high on their "pucker
factor" if they were to lose the use of them offshore. With our anti-roll
tank we don't have that "stress" and no the maintenance issues.
Plenty about it in the archives :-)
As always YMMV......
