Ian, Great to hear that the prop generator has worked out so well for you. The alternator and wiring is still in place on my boat but the driving pulley on the shaft was removed. I will look

I have seen two Super Maramus with broken coupling bolts because the nuts with spring washers had worked loose. I put nyloc nuts on mine and check them for tightness after every long motoring...they

Bill, I'll follow the instructions, its funny they told me (the dealer) that they just use the pink antifreeze, with glycol . Thanks for taking the time, Pat

For my system here are the directions from Dessalator. They have been slightly edited from the original translated version for clarity, and adjusted for the model installed on my

Bill , I contacted Great Water the dealer a few years ago , and they advised me to just use potable antifreeze with glycol . Do you feel Sodium bisulfate would be better , if so I will use that, I see

Gary, Thanks for you detailed post, I will print it out and follow it. I wish pickling was not necessary ( read boat in Caribbean) , but a grandchild coming in Feb. can somehow mess with ones sailing

Pat, I get mine from EBAY... Bill Kinney SM#160 Harmonie Annapolis, MD

FYI: The recommended chemical for long term pickling and storage of Dessalator membranes is NOT Sodium metabisulfate (Na2S2O5) rather it is Sodium bisulfate (NaHSO4). The long term storage solution

In addition to cobalt drill bits, I've had good success with a product called AnchorLube. It seems to work especially well on stainless steel. Pretty cheap too. Dennis Johns Libertad Maramu

We have a 4kw Panda with Kubota 1 cylinder engine. Very satisfied, runs every second day, reliable and silent. 0,5 l diesel per hour. Up to now only one problem, caused by the mechanic in Kusadasi

Hello James, I had a Honda 2000 on my last boat. It is not rated at 2 KW but at about 1.6 KW. The 1000 is also well under the 1 KW mark. GL

Ian, I am curious about how the prop alternator has worked out for you. Would you have any rough data on how many amp hours per day you can get on a Trade Winds passage? I would not want

Hi All: The last reply is correct, in that the propylene glycol (NOT to be confused with ethylene glycol) antifreeze solution is too large of a molecule to penetrate the RO (reverse osmosis)

Great. Thanks to you all. On to it (and 1,001 other miscellaneous To Do's) PS - we did leave the boat jobs for a day on Tuesday and actually got out sailing . Oh, what a feeling . . .

Hi Pat, My (imperfect) understanding is that the propylene glycol would be too large to fit through the membranes. I would just flush with no pressure. The desaleteur manual says no pressure, but

John, I have only owned a Super Maramu...a 2003 model. I am a huge fan of Amel. I will attempt to tell you my limited understanding of the comparison...hopefully I will not ramble too much, but

I need to pickle my watermaker , I will be using potable antifreeze with glycol. When I start the watermaker ,it will start pumping in the antifreeze . My question is should I turn up the pressure
