Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: zink anode of the starboard side doesn’t corrode
Olaf,
Possibly this will help you, or, at least make you feel better.
Although I cannot provide any reference for this, I was once told that when a bonding system is connected to more than one anode,

Hmmm, I don’t see a way to attach a photo. I’ll add it to the Kristy Album.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Deck hatches
I have finally gotten around to removing the hatch over the forward head. The nuts on the bolts at the corners were spinning, and were buried between the hatch/deck and the backing for the headliner

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: ZF transmission
I have an oil sucker, the 6.5 Lt with a manual pump. When I change the oil every 200 hours, I also suck out the transmission fluid and change it too.
Takes an additional 5 minutes.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] What are the todo’s before and after haulot of a SM2K
If you are leaving the boat on the hard for a while here is a list you may want to think about:
Sea Water Valves

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: ZF transmission
Pat,
My drawings say there is a 17mm drain plug on the starboard side of the ZF25M (the side opposite the shift lever). It is pretty much directly under the dipstick. I have never gone under there

Re: zink anode of the starboard side doesn’t corrode
Olaf,
The only reason that one zinc would not corrode as expected is that it is not making proper electrical contact with the bonding system.
When you are hauled out, check for continuity between

zink anode of the starboard side doesn’t corrode
Hello AMELians,
I found out that the zink anode on starboard side doesn't corrode. What could be the reason? What I have to check?
The zink anode on portside corrode as expected.
Thanks so much

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: How much oil and dipstick reading.
When I went to the Yanmar school the instructor said that connecting a hose to the dip-stick tube and pumping will remove the majority of the oil.

Bill, I am getting ready to change the fluid as well. I have not found a plug ,could you confirm there is one and where, I am surprised that it only takes 3/4 of a liter. I am sure I was told to use

Bow thruster rebuild on a SM
Replaced the underwater seal on the plastic shaft (on which the bow thruster prop is mounted) and very quickly the oil was leaking out. I suspect this shaft has become so worn the standard seal is now

I too have been looking at the Beta to replace my TMD22....no turbo and Kubota parts world wide. Could you put me in touch with your client? Is it a SM he/she has? It would be great to talk to
