Bill, Its been about four years since I installed mine and I think they gave a range to preload , say three to five inches . Not knowing better I chose midway four inches , I wish I had made it

Good morning all. I am having a problem with my D3 volvo. There was a near lightning strike and the CPU was fried among other things. Now no one can seem to program the new CPU has anyone else had

The only rubber in the T-series pumps in contact with pumped water are the joker valves. The sealand joker valves (they call them "duckbill valves") are made of nitrile rubber, which is good for oil

Danny, When I installed mine I added a larger G10 backing plate and dug out almost all the balsa core under the feet and replaced it with heavily thickened epoxy. This has the dual benefit of

One of the things you need to do when installing the Atlantic Arch is to be sure you "preload" the structure. They do mention this in their instructions, but if you talk to them they REALLY emphasize

Steve, Sorry to read about the fit problems with the Emek arch. I wanted to make you aware that there is a pretty easy solution in dealing mounting pad fit issues if they are not too severe. The

Hi all, My SM has the wooden floor panels, not the blue ones. A while after I bought the boat in the beginning of August, I noticed the smoothly-opening floor panels that run the length of the saloon

Danny, The mounts are articulating , so any movement transferred to the mounts is not directly transferred to the deck. I installed a diagonal s.s tube to stiffen it up and I don't think at the top

The arch attaches to the deck through "mortise and tenon" type fittings. The small amount of side to side movement doesn't stress the fitting that is bolted to the deck. Kent S/V Kristy Hi, With

If you can arrange manufacture of these, I would like a spare, too. Kent S/V Kristy SM243 Kent Robertson S/V Kristy karkauai@... Panama cell: +507-61171896 USA cell: 828-234-6819

I believe the original Amel electric bilge pump for the gray water bilge is 32 liters/min CW Bill Rouse Admiral, Texas Navy Commander Emeritus Amel School www.amelschool.com 720 Winnie St Galveston

I made two assumptions that are perhaps incorrect: I assumed that the lights share a buzzer via a pair of diodes at the helm, thus if a light is on, the buzzer is also on; and I assumed that the

We installed the Atlantic Towers arch three years ago. Been very satisfied with it. But like others, not comfortable with the lateral sway. Using mostly standard rail hardware and a length of 1" SS

Hi, With those tall arches and the tendency for sway I would be concerned about the stress on the fiberglass where the mountings are attached. That sway would translate into considerable lever action

Hi Chuck, on SM 299 the bow thruster has sensors clamped to the ram that lifts and lowers the thruster. These need to be properly positioned. The clamps can be loosened and the (little oblong black

Most of the Jabsco 'designated' bilge pumps of this type such as their belt driven bellows/diaphragm models range from 3.5 to 8 gpm. I think my current model is around 5 gpm. I'm betting the

Ok a bit more clarification trying not to repeat myself. When the helm command is disconnected the ram can be lowered and raised directly from the power supply in the BT compartment. All three sensors

Hi Mark, I just added an Atlantic Towers arch with solar on the arch. I added 4 150watt panels. The supports for the panels sold by Atlantic Towers didn't work with my panels and new supports were

I'm happy with 300ft of G40 10mm chain. When I replaced the 15 year old chain (200ft) I added another 100ft. The added weight seems to improve motion when hard on the wind in a sea (less slamming).

Hello, We need to make some changes to our swimming platform. Has anyone needed to/managed to separate the two pieces of fibreglass either side from the stainless steel frame? These seem to be glued
