I might be totally wrong in the below description, then enlighten me about charging, but both Swi-Tec and Watt & Sea, are programmed to charge batteries and not to feed the boats consumption, which

OK Paul, I thought you had attached a block at the outer end in one of the notched hook cutouts or to the tang the topping lift is attached to. Thats what I did. (notched cutouts) Since things always

Dan: You must detach the out haul line as the block at the outer end of the boom is used Ian by using the secondary winch in the cockpit you can maneuver the out-haul from the cockpit, actually it is

Hi, I went to our local hardware store Mitre 10 in Kaitaia (pop 5000) in the far north of New Zealand and off the shelf got a faucet identical in every respect to the original. Mine had the pull out

Hi Will, I’ve spent a couple of nights sleeping in the aft cabin of a Maramu, I’m 6 feet tall and found it quite comfortable. I’m assuming the Santorin dimensions are comparable but hopefully

Hi Paul, Can you make a picture to show how it is attached to the boat. How much Amp does it provide? Do you notice a speed difference? Kind regards, Arno Luijten

First of all, I am not a plumber. However, we just replaced the original kitchen faucet with a US brand Comllen. The threads on the boat galley pipes are pipe thread. Not sure exactly what was on the

Nice system Paul. Why did you not use the main mast winch to haul the sail instead of the lead back to the cockpit? Or maybe it’s better if it is just the outhaul that has stopped working then you

Before I buy anything I want to be sure I understand the connection issues. If I buy a Grohe faucet in the US I can install it on my boat without an adapter if I use the supply lines already in my

Hi Paul and Ellen. I like Pauls set up in that it is totally adjustable from the cockpit, perfect. I can add a level of simplicity. You do not need to remove the endless Amel outhaul line. Just remove

Hajo, If the depth sounder transducer is original, it is old enough to need replacing because it is beyond its average life. I have seen these act up, before eventually failing completely. Send me an

Will, I don't remember all the details but some years ago we met another Santorin owner in the Med who had extended the aft berth with a "foot-well" into the aft locker area. I recall he was a

The owners of Cayenne, Hannes and Sabine (from Austria) are both tall and I don't ever remember hearing them complain about the aft cabin headroom. Their boat is now in Australia and they are home in

Hello Hajo: My SM #335 has the depth sounder wired to the B & G Hydra 2000 computer at the nav station with orange/white wire going to terminal 30 and orange/green wire going to terminal 29. These

Hi Amelians, I have a problem with the Depth Sounder, sometimes it works, sometimes it = doesn't. So it is not really broken. I had cleaned the surface, but it is s= till the same. Any ideas ? Thanks

Hey Ian, Thanks for the heads up about the aft berth. At 6'1" it may be a little tight, but I can't imagine ruling out the boat over that unless it totally egregious and I have to sleep in the fetal

Sometimes I really wish this forum had a way of indicating a huge thumbs up for a particular post! What a great little nugget of information on the differences between models. I have been trying to

Below is the list of Amel owners that asked me to order the special seals, please let me know if I missed anyone. Although some of you have already sent me the info via different means, I need to

Will, I think you will find that every Santorin owner on the owners site will say it is the right boat for them. For us it’s been perfect. One question though is what height are you? At 5’10”

Hi Amelians, I have a problem with the Depth Sounder, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. So it is not really broken. I had cleaned the surface, but it is still the same. Any ideas ? Thanks
