Water Tube connection
We wanted to change the solenoid valve for the forward toilet and lost that part which is inside the plastic connector/tube. Without it water is dripping. Does anyone have an idea if there is a chance

AMEL 54 rudder stock grease
Hello,,
does anybody know how and if possible to grease the rudder hinges on an AMEL54?
We are on the hard and there is grease in the hinges but do I need to fill it up somehow?

Re: Stuffing box drainage path
If you provide a path, water will flow to the lowest part of the bilge. This does not have to be a limber hole though that is the fastest form of transport. ,You can use something absorbent to form

Re: Stuffing box drainage path
Hi Kent,
try healing on the opposite tack and bringing the water back to the middle. Lay some sponges there to catch it before it disappears to the other side

Re: Stuffing box drainage path
Thanks Danny. I’ve tried that and if I twist into a pretzel and stand on my head I can get most of it on the starboard side, but not even close on the port side.

Re: Stuffing box drainage path
Hi Kent,
I have a paddle wheel speed transducer that I swap for a blank when I leave the boat on the mooring to avoid it getting clogged up with marine growth. The swap always results in a few litres

Re: Stuffing box drainage path
Hi Danny,
If it’s leaking when we set out, I fix it. If it starts leaking while on passage, (and it has done this twice in 10 years), I’ve just kept an eye on it until I get to port. Both times

Re: Stuffing box drainage path
Thanks Mark. I guess they drilled through the shower pan into the space below? I have an alarm but have to pump by hand or with a 24v hand-held Pump. So far the worst it’s been was 3-4 liters

Guys AND Gals, ( Gotta get that right as the admiral on Pen Azen is female),
I share Danny's surprise, but maybe we are just lucky. We have had water through the bow thruster but only when we have

Re: Stuffing box drainage path
Hi guys
I am staggered at the equanimity with which you accept water ingress. At the first sign of seepage around either the bow thruster or the rudder shaft I fix it. If there is a biannual

Re: Stuffing box drainage path
Kent,
Let's add this to our agenda when we meet on your boat in July.
An identical retrofit would be difficult, but I've got an idea and a plan, which doesn't include pumps or bulkhead modifications.

Re: Stuffing box drainage path
Kent,
I think CreamPuff was retrofitted. We have a pump in the area that collects water from theleaking bow-thruster area connected to a sensor and alarm. When the sensorkicks in the alarm sounds

Re: Stuffing box drainage path
This is a mod that I want to do for Annie, SM 37. I think a water indicator alarm would be a prudent addition to the water capture mod.
