Perhaps you could introduce yourself - are you shopping for an Amel? What's your name? home port, etc. There are no bolts on the forward face of the original Santorin mast. Craig, SN#68 Sangaris ---In

Pat, Getting back to your original question of where to buy a new switch, I just bought a replacement switch. It's a Littelfuse Brand "TR Series Dual Pole 500A Master Disconnect Switch", Part 880175.

Ian, Defiantly nothing lost and should be done anyway , will clean the contacts. However , are you saying that , you too switched the switch off and on and then power was restored to the starter ?

Pat, That was our view-- until we cleaned the contacts to the starter motor itself. It may well be quite different in your case, but you would lose nothing by cleaning those contacts. Indeed, if

Ian&Judy, In my case , switching the switch off and on several times , cures the problem and allows enough current to flow to start the engine,albeit until the next time. So it appears the problem

Hi every body and thank you in advance for sharin your knowledge! I have visited a 1991 sloop rigged Santorin in La Rochelle couple days ago. The boat is fine. But i have been very surprised by

Pat , We have had the same experience . In our case , nothing to do with the switch and everything to do with corrosion on the connection to the starter motor and adjacent solenoid . I would start

Several times recently upon trying to start my engine it would not turn over , I discovered that if I would switch the top lever of the battery switch on and off several times , I would then have

If the marina only has 30A 110v connectors you can combine two of them using a"Y" connector that then provides 220v. The marinas I have stayed at that only have 30a at the post generally can provide

Thanks John, The vessel is in Thailand, it is SM 224 Lena S. Seems ok but needs some TLC, we are hauling this morning for the underwater survey. Any known information about the vessel shall be

Bill, that's why I wrote the second e-mail with the other opportunity of the shore power 110 V and my transformer. In the first e-mail,I was not thinking about using the transformer because I would

FKG rigging is in Cole Bay In St Maarten

As a ps, You can also take it over to FKG rigging and they will do the job for you. How long will you be in St Maarten and where will you be staying? I will be on island the 22nd. Fair

Hi, Get an heli coil kit to replace the broken bolt. You use a drill and drill out the hole to a larger diameter, use the tap included with the heli coil kit. You then use the enclosed tool to

I've used my 110-220 inverter on several occasions, don't exceed the 16A and you should be fine. Does JoEmi have a 220VAC monitor? It's a worthwhile addition. Kent SM243 Kristy Kent Robertson S/V

First, I'd like to thank the 'old salts'.......I've lived on my SM2K (#422) for the past 3 yrs in the Carib nearly full time, and rigging renewal is the only labor I've paid for thanks to your

It is true that damage to composite structures can generally be repaired. Composite aircraft for instance can be restored to the original strength after being severely damaged without adding weight

Oliver, it is better to use the 230V 50 amp plug. The 110-230V step up transformer is limited in its capabilities and can get rather hot. If you have the electrician at Deltaville follow the
