Hi Ian, No, the pressure switch we have is not adjustable. We chose a powerful pump---40 psi from memory. Makes for a wonderful shower ! Ian and Judy, Pen Azen, SM 302 Malta

Good catch - I long ago changed all my Santorin plumbing to PVC and plastic holding tank with rubber vibration isolators - didn't know the SM had CU pipe. Craig on Sangaris, SN#68

I would be very careful in using any acid in your holding tank. The parts are NOT all non corrosive. The connecting pipe between the bottom of the holding tank and the down pipe to the valve is made

Hi Ian & Judy, thanks for this. I have a higher output pump (as an optional extra) than the standard which gives better showers. Are the pressure switches on your Jabsco adjustable? I have had the

Hi Bob,   We have the space for Solitude (first line) and Cowes (second line) on the transom of our SM.  The lettering was attached by Amel in Hyeres and is not obstructed by the handle on the

Hi, Does anyone have the total space available for the Name (first line) and Hailing Port (second line) on the transom for a Super Maramu? I have to get some new ones and am not at the boat. (does

Hi to all and tank so much to all, Problem solved ! - it was possible, as suggested, to insert up-down a long stick through the deck hole into the full tank. I used the spear gun rod, I'm a very bad

Hi Danny Where is the pic? If you attached it nothing came through? Sounds like it would be worth a good look. Cheers Colin Island Pearl II - SM2K #332 <simms@...>wrote: -- *Colin

Hi all, thought you might get a smile out of this photo. We were in the Carib 1500 in 2009 and the aft head holding tank outlet clogged with the result that we had very smelly stuff running down our

Gianni, I may have been the one you recall being an advocate of Hydrochloric acid - also known as Muriatic acid. All your plumbing parts will be non-reactive with it (remember, much waste going in

Hydrochloric acid works perfect, but it affects the mercerator electrical motor. We used to use hydrocloric acid, but after destroying two engins we don't put the acid in the toilet any moore. If it

Per Kent's comment that many of these systems are much too expensive for what you actually get, take a look at David Lynn's article in the December 2012 issue of Ocean Navigator about how to simply

Ciao Gianni, I do not know if this was the correct thing to do...BUT...I used a form of acid that was some solution of Hydrochloric acid on BeBe's aft tank valve. I poured it in the deck pump-out

Ian, That Square D pressure switch is really tricky to get adjusted correctly, but when you get it right it, it along with the pump Amel installed is so much better than any on-demand pump on the

Hi to all, I remember that some used to pour acid into the tank to dissolve the organic obstruction. But I don't remeber which, from which hole and how to work. Please, any suggestion may help. All

john, I have only really just twigged that you are a friend of Merlo who we saw recently with Keith Outram en route as ever to Antigua. I hope we meet you before too long. My SSB is now fitted -
