My pleasure Eric, Glad I could help!!! Interesting trick about the Corroded wires! My pleasure Bill, I was not familiar with all the terms for the various parts, so please feel free to correct

Very nice and very detailed description of the repair of the campanionway lock. Thanks, Alex. I have filed this for the future. Bill BeBe 387

I noticed the lock on the companion way was wobbly. Last week I emailed Amel to order a new one. Well… this morning it broke… So I put it apart and was able to repaired it. Here is how I did

Rick i'm going to do an order form Amel. I think the rings are less expensive from amel than the ones you had made...will your's last longer. Aside from that, do you want me to order a bow thruster

Thanks James.

Hey Vladimir, when you get to Annapolis I will show you how I wired my boat for shore power connections. I can plug anywhere in the world basically. However, as all have righted noted, you cannot run

Ann-Sofie, Thanks a lot. I don't have a manual but I found lable on the box. It works at 50-60 Hz. No problems now.

But be aware that the AC unit need new capacitors that works on 50/60 hz. You can not use the washing machine on 60 hz, you need to run the diesel generator to be able to use it. You can have problems

Thanks, Paul. I think I'm going to do it. Kent

Kent! Don't see any problem assume the size of the hatches are the same, The Stainless steel work by Emek is of good quality, and mounting is not very difficult unless you have problem to drill a hole

Kent Can,t see any problem I assume all SM are identical with respect to hatches Installation should be rather straight forward We are very happy with the SS job they have done Paul SM 259

Thanks again Paul. Can you think of any reason not to order these from Emek and install them myself? Kent

KentThe fixed one is "only" screwed into the side of the frame, but I still think it hold for a rather a good kick, the one that one can be open are bolted through so very strong, at least that part.

Thanks, Paul. Those are very nice looking! I guess they just screw into the cabin top from beneath, so not really strong if someone were to kick them from above? Kent SM243 Kristy

Kent! Photos now posted, they might not have been added in a logical order, but I think you get the picture. The locking is by a "spike" and a padlock. I hope the pictures speaks for them self. The

No worry Danny, I go by Alex, Alexandre, Alexander, but always sign Alexandre. My pleasure for the name of wind. Still to find why an Amel was name "Copain" and one "Santorin"... May be Olivier can

Hi Alexandre, sorry for the misspelled name on my previous. I didn't check the spell check Danny
