Reudi, You should have two filters A Racor primary filter (or 2) ,mounted on the bulkhead and a secondary filter mounted on the engine. The primary filter is there to filter out gross contaminants

Thomas and Bill Good points. I’m still learning to handle a modern Diesel Engine. Maybe it is better to go for 1-2 micron Racor filter instead of the recommended 10 micron in order to filter out

I understand where you are coming from Pat. So long as you go into it with your eyes open. I have often thought of getting molded padding bottom sides and back while retaining the stability and grab

Hi Paul Even if it is far away from where you are, they seems to have that chair in Erlandssons brygga home in

Hi Alan, Nice seat, Where did you get it? Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

RO membranes are rated for maximum pressure OR maximum flux of product water, whichever is reached first. If the feed water is nearly fresh, very low feed pressure (maybe lower than 100 PSI, 7 Bar)

Hi Bill, Yes, I assumed he was abbreviating Dextron ATF and that Dextron II was replaced with the more modern formulations of III and then IV. As you know the ZF manual has an extensive list of which

Danny, All good points and I don't disagree that safety comes first , before all else.. The seat I am considering would have s.s handholds and it would not be free to swivel . A prior owner just

I'm now not so sure about this fresh water business. In the Dessalator Duo 60 manual it says: Remember: The biggest enemy of the membranes is fresh water. Fresh water should be always used with no

I don’t think it’s the pressure you need to watch, Pat. It’s the RO water flow. Does yours have the glass tube with float that indicates how much water you are making? Keep that below the

I got a strap with hooks on either end from George and Kim on Indecent several years ago. They got it fromWest Marine. I put two eye bolts in the face of the nav station one fore and one aft of the

Paul, I bought it in New Zealand at a chandlery called Burnsco.....I have no idea of the brand. I fabricated a 3mm stainless plate to bolt to the pedestal and to the seat...it is offset towards the

Hi again, just incase you think I am geriatric. I am fit and agile, but even the fit and agile need hand holds. Cheers Danny SM 299 Ocean Pearl

Alan Where did you bought it? Brand? Looks very nice indeed . Paul on SY Kerpa SM 259

Greeting, On my Santorin SN24 the pedestal seat is bolted in place and does not move. Even with cushions on the backrest and seat it is just hard enough to keep the crew from falling asleep on watch.

I agree the helm seat is great. The nav station stool terrible We changed the navstation stool to this....much more comfortable in port and at sea, and it folds back out of the way. Cheers Alan Elyse

Hi Pat, I regard the SM helm seat as a great design and a vital safety item. I have a lot of ocean miles behind me and in the vigorous seaways we encounter out there its fixed place stability is a

The Santorin has a pedestal seat. Ours sits on the pedestal post (not bolted) and therefore does 2 handy things. 1. It can be lifted off at anchor and gives more cockpit space 2. It swivels, so that

On Amelia I love the helm seat. At sea in all weather I have found it great. The chart table seat on the other hand is awful! However as with all things in life afloat there is only so much space. The

Bill, I too sit elsewhere as well most of the time , but still spend a fair amount of time at the helm. I have also considered changing out the Nav seat. Pat SM123
