Poor fastening
The two plastic parts for attaching to the pushpit are not reliable. They are supposed to hold 40kg in rough seas? The screws are too short for that. They cannot be mounted on a 25mm pipe. The strap fastener is not worthy of the name. So you have to mount additional clamps from your own stock and secure them with a separate tensioning strap if you want to keep your life raft.

For that price, no instruction manual, no installation template and no screws? That's pretty poor.

Winter Paddle Gloves
I'm a paddler, I paddle in the winter too, and I usually can't do it without gloves!
My hands and gloves always get splashed or dripped water, and if it rains or snows they get even wetter.
These gloves let water through more quickly than my old gloves!

TIKALFLEX Contact 12 Adhesive / Sealant

Good product, poor hose
I ordered TIKALFLEX contact 12 in the cartridge and in the "variant for in-between times" in the small tube hose with a metal clip to screw in. Processing with the cartridge was flawless. Processing with the tube hose was impossible because the casing of both tubes used was torn. On the one hand because of the poorly made metal clip (sharp edges), on the other hand probably because of the somewhat tougher consistency of the product (was processed at an ambient temperature of 24 degrees) and the pressure required. I have already processed comparable systems from SIKA several times without any problems. I cannot recommend the product in this version (!!!) to anyone and will not buy it again.

No longer works
Every autumn I get a brownish water mark on my GRP boat. I used to be able to remove it easily with Shipclean.
Now the bottle says "organic". I don't know if that's the reason. But the water mark no longer comes off with Shipclean.

Good concept, but crippling problem
I recently installed a B&G V60-B VHF with the wireless handset. Nothing to say about the VHF, but in the same day, the handset sent 2 DSC distress calls without me lifting the Distress button flap (or even touching it. I'm still in the process of trying to figure out what happened, but there's definitely a serious design flaw there.

Transparent Impregnating Agent for Teak, Wood and Artificial Wood

Doesn't keep what it promises
Good thing is that the product does not darken the teak deck as much as it does with oil or varnish.
What's bad is the water-repellent effect, at least visibly, only lasts a few days of sailing when water comes on deck.

Moderate in practical application
Simple principle, reasonably well thought out. But unfortunately the included ARALDIT just wouldn't harden despite optimal conditions and the right mixing ratio. I then used thickened epoxy, which worked very well. Unfortunately, that was double the work at a relatively high price.

Danger! Hose releases chemicals!
I replaced my old drinking water system on board with these hoses. Except for the stainless steel water tank, all components are new. If the water has been in the pipes for about a day and you open the tap, the water foams very strongly and has a chemical smell. At first it was such a strong acrid smell that my little daughter and I were coughing and had trouble breathing afterwards!
As soon as the hoses are completely rinsed with fresh water, the foaming and the smell are gone. After describing the problem, SVB sent me new hoses. These will be installed soon and I hope that the problems will end.

Unfortunately insufficient quality
Unfortunately, you can't expect much given the low price. Processing is typically “made in China”. When testing in the winter sun, the fan motor did not rotate at all. The locking is tricky and anything but tight against oncoming waves. SVB sent me a new fan due to the serious defects. Thank you very much for the great service! Unfortunately, this will never be installed on my yacht for the reasons mentioned above. SVB should think about removing this item from its range.

Not properly described
Actually the inner part of the anode, or the part adhering to the transmission axis, it is shaped and not all is gripping to the axis, so there is less material than expected.

Disappointed
Product is far too stiff and does not conform to a rounded side wall. Adhesion keeps coming loose. Extremely difficult to cut, the cutter knife always gets clogged with a tar-like mass and therefore has to be constantly cleaned with acetone.
Product is not worth the price. I already had insulation mats with the same structure from another manufacturer, which were easy to process.

. You only have a 2mm seal to make your screens waterproof. After a year, water enters through my 4 screens.
High-end screen, but assembly requires DIY to make them waterproof in the long term.
Worse without a B&G central unit with few features
Even worse it will take 10 clicks (without a B&G central unit) to turn on night mode.
For the ideal screen for the snob who wants to pose with his boat in St Tropez or Portofino!
After 2 years, I have them replaced with ray marine screens
