Eric, Actually, in the 7 years I've owned the boat, I've only had any significant amount of water in the main cabin bilge twice. Those were the two instances I mentioned, and only the former was

Good evening Eric, I thought using Clorox in the bilge was a no no, as it would destroy the grounding strap...is this just a myth? George and Kim Cerillo SM2K #353 Indecent

Steve, I have never had much water in my main cabin bilge. It usually comes from a leak at the sink, or a/c condenser line. Most frequently, it comes from my not paying attention and overfilling the

Hi all, we had odour from the bilge going up the pipe to the aft head. I added a simple solution. The pipe turns down into the bilge sump, facing vertically down. To the end I added two right angle

Thanks, Martin, Check out what Maud sent me (it's on it's way to Giovanni for posting) and see if it's the same drawing.  If not, please send me what you have to karkauai at yahoo dot com. It looks

Maud at Amel sent me a schematic of the Amel drive (which is an Amel design).  It's better than anything else I have but still not detailed enough to order parts from.  I will send it to Giovanni as

I agree with richard on this. I owned a boat with an open bildge to the salon area for 30 years putting up with the smell of diesel and bildge odors. Now when any one comes aboard it's just the

If you tee those lines be very very sure to do it with a one way valve or you'll flood the boat. There is really no good way to drain those lockers. Best to keep the water out to start

I had the same problem on "Antares" SM2k. The water was coming from the salon a/c. There is a condensation pan with a small drain tube that does communicate with the wet bilge. However, the pan was

I have successfully converted Crusader's toilets to a freshwater flush. Hopefully there will now be no further smells from stagnant seawater, no more scaling of the waste pipes and there is now blue

Great advice Bill. I think I've already experienced most of those except the grandkids spilling water. Plenty of adults spilling beer, but no grandkids spilling water yet. :-) I agree... a steady

Good point... but if thats the case, the same odors and mold should invade the forward and aft cabins via the existing drain hoses between the engine room bulkhead and the shower sumps and galley. If

Thanks Bill. I think it's probably the same company, but this website doesn't seem to mention anything about dishwashers, just washing machines. I couldn't find a site search function to do a search

Hi the simple answer is that with an open port to the engine room the odors and mold would invade the boat. Regards SM 209 for sale in Annapolis Richard Piller Cell 603 767 5330 [Non-text portions

Thanks Eric. I think those would be great as spares. I'm still wondering why the water doesn't drain into the engine room bilge by design though. It's a lot easier to have the bilge pump and its

Gary, I agree with "Bebe Bill" that it's usually the hose becoming permeated with odor. Following is from a post I made a couple of years ago - it's still odor free after 7 years! "On my Santorin I

See if you can find "sew clean" its for cleaning sewer pipes etc. Put a 1/2 gallon into the toilet and flush gently using the flush only cycle on the switch. Make sure the holding tank is closed.

yip, did it!!!   Sorry for the bad quality, never knew this pic might become important for someone.   Martin ________________________________ Von: Giovanni Testa <gtesta23@...> An:
