Re: Outhaul-furler motor shaft failure

Re: fitting bow
I just chased up Sonja at Amel Hyeres again about the replacement for my 6mm bow furler connection. She assured me that they are making a new 10mm stem for me. Hope to be able to fit this in August

Re: Dessalator cuts out when flushing
Correct, sorry about that.
Who knows? Possibly there is a soft switch and timer that activates the alarm when there is zero output flow. I would email Nicholas at contact"at"dessalator.com
