Re: Rub rail purchase

Here's what Joel said in his post: 
"There were a couple of different rub rails for the Mango and just one, all but certain, on the Sharks and Maramu. They share nothing in common with the Santorin and Super Maramu insert.

Craig, I agree they seem to produce a large variety of marine products.They have been very proactive in dealing with me. I need a new bumper ,I may ask about that,but I assume they do mostly extrusions. Could someone confirm that the Maramu is the same or not in regarding the rub rail.
Thanks,

Pat (& Kent and others interested),
In a previous post I recall Joel Potter confirmed that the SN and the SM had the same rub rail (SN shorter, of course). I just reread his post and he says the Maramu is different.
I see that the company you got, Techno Rubber Industries in Miami, manufactures inflatable boat rub rails for some of the big brands, or perhaps, just supplies replacements for them (they are showing the logos of Avon, Zodiac, etc. on their web page). Sounds like a great choice.

Sent them a cross section today,expect to have a sample very soon and confirm pricing based on the number of feet purchased. They said lead time was about two weeks. I will put you on the list. 

I need to confirm if 52 ft. per side is correct for a SM and if a Maramu and SN has the same rub rail design.

Re: Masse negative leak

CW Bill Rouse
 

Ofer & Nick,

Remember, the minus Masse Light means there is a connection between 24-volts negative to the Amel bonding system. The most common issue is a Jabsco Macerator pump that has developed a leak at the seal, causing a connection to the Amel Bonding. Start by disconnecting the green/yellow wire from each macerator pump. If the light no longer comes ON, you have found it. Replace that macerator pump and reconnect the green/yellow wires.

If it was not the macerator pump and the light is ON for the (-) side, it is more difficult because the individual 24-volt breakers only turn OFF the positive side (+). For a negative side (-) Masse fault, you will need to disconnect the negative wires from the negative main battery switch. On most Amels, this is the lower switch. When the light goes out, you have narrowed your search to one main circuit.

If the (+) side is ON, try turning OFF each breaker throughout the boat one at a time. Don't forget breakers for the windlass, winches, and breakers in the engine room. Do this with all breakers.

I hope this helps you.

Hi Nick,
We had the same problem.
It took long time to solve , because the light was not always ON.

The way to find where  a bad contact between the minus and the grounding system is, is to start from the main switches near the batteries, disconnect each of the cables while checking the light. Ones you find a cable that if  disconnected the is OFF, look for the equipment down the cable and check the contacts and put corrosion x.
We found the problem in the forward locker . We had a leak of water from the new Bad! installed windlass rubber deck switches that created humidity on all electrical motors in the locker.

Good luck with the challenge.

Re: Any data on B&G displays

Stefan,

I had it all this time but had forgotten about the fuse & the battery on the mainboard in the Hydra 2000. I suspect something similar in the H3000.

Does this look like what you saw?

The system is working probably and we placed a spare fuse for the next failure with tape outside on the processor box.
If you got some of these problems with your new old system again, just check the fuse. After 18 years they are allowed to blow away sometimes.

Hi Pat,
I see Karen was estimating < $900.  We'll not need as much length as you (SN vs SM) - I'll measure it. I see Techno is in Miami, so I can just pick it up and won't need shipping.

Rub rail purchase

Patrick McAneny
 

I have sent a cross section of my rubrail ,from my Super Maramu to Techno Rubber Industries in Fla. ,they will produce a die and sample for my inspection . I intend to place an order as soon as I receive the sample and final pricing. The die will cost me $450.00 ,the rub rail will run somewhere around $11 per ft. ,roughly $1200. The more boats ordering would bring the price down and I would like to share the cost of the die. The rub rail would be slightly off white. Another owner of a Mango has already purchased from this company and was happy with the service and product. Shipping to Maryland where I live is roughly estimated to be about $200.
So if anyone would like to join me in a group buy ,please email me at , sailw32@... . I will give the final number of orders to the company as soon as I get the sample from them. They will then give me a final price based on the number of orders ,the more the less. I will probably place the order within the next ten days,so please get back to me ASAP.
Thanks,
Pat McAneny

Re: Masse negative leak

Hi Arno, 
I checked to bowthruster, I took off the bonding wire but alas no problem there. Tomorrow I will have a check of the windlasses but I did not see a bonding (green/yellow) cable to them.
Anyhow it looks like this will take some time. 
I would have thought the most likely candidates are electric motors with carbon brushes. 

I am impressed by the Amel engineering In general but the bonding is very crude, stripped off cable hose clamped to pipe work does not really do it for me.

However “be to their virtues ever kind and their faults a little blind” comes to mind.
