I know that this was two years ago but did you come up with a solution. I cannot find the original posting and I have the same problem. Regards Martin

Jose, I was the first one to buy and install an Atlantic arch,it is my boat on their website. We have sailed thousands of miles and make short passages ,between the islands with dingy and outboard on

Hi Joerg We were in Tunisia (Monastir) for a fit-out in June/July.. then sailed up the East Coast. We never made it to the North Coast as the winds weren't in our favour and our insurance ran out..

Hi Arno, When plugged in I always hand a fish shaped "guppy" over the side. On Kimberlite I connect it to the bonding on the fuel fill. It is permanently connected , I store it in the same locker as

Hi Bill, Unfortunately we will not be able to join the rally. Is anyone going to be in St Marten 3/26-April2? Also, FYI and your book and the new website , I have attached a few photos of my

Bill, You are absolutely correct. Additionally , if you want to be totally paranoid, tinning the bonding wires at the connections will greatly increase the life of the connection. It will also

Well, Josè, you're the guy who 'splained why we should put the "C" drive shaft seals on opposite to what Amel prescribes. With the Atlantic Arch it sounds like you may be batting 1000 ! The proof is

Hi JP and Arno . I have the duo 60, it is bonded and I have no corrosion. Regards Danny S M 299 Ocean Pearl

JP, I do not agree with the dessalator engineer. If you consider what he says, I believe you will agree with me. Best, Bill Rouse 720 Winnie St. Galveston, Texas 77550 832-380-4970 My Calendar

I agree Nick, the double tube makes the structure stiffer. It is precisely what the reinforcement of the Atlantic arch does. The design with top angles >>90 degrees should also help but I could not

Hello Arno, I have the Duo 100 aboard and have had problems with corrosion as well. It was most noticeable at the small interconnects between the membranes and caused leakage. I discussed this with

Craig, I am sorry I was not precise enough. What I meant was to make the arch shorter and stretch the legs out, EXACTLY the opposite of what you did and what Atlantic recommends. What you did and

Hi Bill, Thanks for the explanation. You made a good point about the A/C pump. I forgot all about that. So there are actually a few places where the zink “meets” the shore ground. I’m in a

Thanks Bill, I agree that the really important connection between the C drive and the rudder zincs needs to be 100% and the for example salt water pump for the anchor wash is less of a worry. When I

Nick, I think that most of your questions were directed to me and I already stated that I am not an electrical engineer. Maybe some should be directed to SAV at Amel. I will answer from my

Cigale many, many thanks for your pictures. Very helpful. -- Gerhard Mueller Amel Sharki #60 Currently Kalamata, Greece

I had this stern arch made by Nick in Grenada. (TechNick Ltd SIMS Boat Yard) I showed him an example of the Emek arch and we discussed it. We tried flexing it by hand and it wobbled a lot. Nick said

Hi Bill, I meant to say well done to all those involved with setting up the new owners site. Thanks. Good bonding connections???? How good can we expect the connections on the bonding circuits to

Here's what's been reported on this thread. Denise on CARA, a SM, has 26GRT / 23NRT Eric on Kibelite, a SM has 28 GRT / 25 NRT on his US Documentation but that was done by Amel (French
