Simply Magic and her crew are lucky to have the idyllic Mercury Islands in their backyard, and now, their dream vessel to get there.

Simply Magic’s owners love their South Island based Tristram so much, they had to get another for their Northern escape! At the helm Simply Magic’s Skipper will enjoy Mercury Skyhook with Joystick Piloting, as well as Simrad Komodo’s digital glass helm. Navigation has never been easier!

TRISTRAM TECH TIP / Capstan Care

It’s important to periodically check the condition of your capstan as well as your warp and chain for signs of deterioration. Be sure to examine your capstan’s motor and terminals. If there is any sign of corrosion or you’ve noticed changes in your capstan’s performance, contact the Tristram Service Centre team for advice. If your warp is in good condition but is slipping in the capstan when launching or retrieving, try tightening your capstan clutch with the provided tool, or schedule a booking with the Tristram Technicians to have your capstan serviced.

TRISTRAM TECH TIP / Battery Isolating Switches

Battery Isolating switches are fitted for your safety and to control battery charging and current draw circuits. The start isolator controls the engine and capstan circuits while the house isolator switches on all dash electronics. The Emergency Parallel switch should only be used when the start battery cannot start the engine alone. For more information about your isolating switches, please contact the Tristram Service Centre.
