Joel, That was interesting , its good to hear confirmation of what you believe to be true. Could you address the backstays, I have never kept them nearly as tight and have gathered that they are not

Thank you for that Bill After cleaning the threads on the bolt I measure good contact between the two bolts holding the two zinks on the rudder. However when measuring between he bolts and the shaft

Paul, You said, "The bolts on the rudder holding the zink are not connected electrically with each other." The bolts on the rudder holding the zincs SHOULD be connected electrically with each other

I think that you may be describing what Dessalator calls the "sterilizing cartridge." It does work well using the "flush" procedure. I have the sterilizing cartridge, but no longer use it. I did

I think I just found it: o understand why the rig tension on an Amel is so very different than on other fiberglass boats, we must first consider and understand the structural differences that Amel

I just got my electric motors rebuilt. Riggers got the forestay back up. Now comes the question of tuning. I searched the site for Joel Potters Rig Tuning but did not find anything.

Thanks Eric, the insulated part of triatic is not a dipole. Well, the copper core of the coaxial is connected to the insulated part of the triatic, but WHERE do I connect the shielding braid? A
