Hi Paul, thanks for this.. Do you think the potential will remain low after turning? or will it go back up again. I found 0.5 volt potential between the vertical bolt and the alloy block it goes

Thank you Craig! They are after the "permanent" 24 v 12 v DC DC Converter, I don't know why, and maybe not important, but good to know when in future fault finding. Paul SY Kerpa SM #259

DannyAfter turning the vertical bolt holding the boom a few turns the potential difference went down from 0,4 V to 5 mV, I will try to remove the bolt and apply Tef-Tec to it, but it's rather hard

Hi Paul, I see you posted new photos this morning and asked what the devices are - those are 24v relays. Someone has written on them noting one is negative and one is positive so whatever device it

There is a company in Easton MD that rebuilds electric motors. I just had my 3 electric furlerer motors rebuilt there at a most reasonable cost. PASCO 8538 Ocean Gateway Easton, MD 21601 Ryan

Hi Paul, It is indeed the ground cable. I am not on the boat now but can assure you that something is attached to it. It may be the ATU or the antenna.. not sure.. GL JPG

Thank you Jean-Pierre It's the Copper band protruding for ca 10 cm before it's "disappear" again into the hull. Now I can't find any cable attached to it, and assume just to hook up a SSB Ground cable

Hi Paul, I think you’ll find it in the aft lazarette on the starboard side. Its’ there in Eleuthera. GL Jean-Pierre Germain, SY Eleuthera, Amel Super Maramu 007

Hello! Trying to locate the wire who connect the ground plate for the SSB grounding, according to a manual I found in the file section it should be behind the chart table, but I can't find anything

Thanks Bill and Derrick. I will keep looking. Regards Danny

I have done extensive research on different alternatives when replacing these motors. I have contacted Emerson Industrial Automation out of St. Louis MO, USA and they were able to identify the motors

Danny, Sorry, I misread your post. I see you want the electric motor, not the gearbox. I have no experience with the electric motor. Derick

Danny, I just purchased a new Leroy Somer gearbox for the out haul from Amel in Le Marin, Martinique. Amel SAV in La Rochelle told me they had them on back order last December, but Martinique had

Gary! I have an Icoom 7000 it need a 25 Ampt DC DC converter so mine should be adequate, but unsure how to do with grounding, the converter has no grounding (the case it mostly plastic), but common

Eric! The stay-sail, furler and fittings was ordered from Q-sails in Izmir, but the Inox fittings was subcontracted to a workshop in Marmaris, Turkey. Below the sail locker there is a similar Inox

Hi Alex, I have some rot in the compression post for the main mast and I am trying to see how bad it is. I will have to have the post replaced when I can get somewhere with a shipwrights. Did you

Paul generally speaking you SSB will draw approx 150 watts each time you key the Mike. Watts / volts= Amps. Regards Capt Richard Piller
