Hi Bill, The wear was at the far end of one rack. I have a s3g autopilot. I have attached a LeRoy Somers gearbox replacement kit I received from them some time ago. Also some genoa furling motor

Hi Jean-Pierre, The funny thing is that I had corrosion going one everywhere but NOT on the membrane unit itself. It seems you had a different cause than I have. My bet for now is on the weeping

Hi Martin, I have the same issue on my 54. I have found that by using a vacuum cleaner I can suck off the film leaving the bare foam behind. It works pretty well and looks fine afterwards. The foam

Martin, There is probably not an easy solution to the problem with 54 sound insulation. When Amel started producing the 54, they decided to change material from the charcoal colored un-coated

Eric, I wonder if the wear on the rack is at the same spot where the Raymarine autopilot switches back and forth between port and stbd in light conditions. The older 400G autopilot had an abrupt

I am guessing it is the same size as the SN, SM, & 54 which is 30mm. Best, Bill Rouse 720 Winnie St. Galveston, Texas 77550 832-380-4970 My Calendar Yacht School

We were the second SM to install the Atlantic Towers unit. Many thanks to Pat for taking the plunge and helping set dimensions. We used the Atlantic davits and solar panel supports. I agree with

To All, Can anyone tell me the socket size for the nut holding the copper strap on the keel bolt in the sump on a 1987 Maramu? I need to replace the copper bonding strap on my boat and would like

The black covering on the engine room sound proofing on my 54 has peeled off in a number of patches. Has anyone experience of successfully repairing this without replacing the complete sound proofing?

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
