Re: SSB Ground
Joerg,
* what cable did you use for connecting the antenna with the tuner? should be a GTO-15 and no coax / copper cable. This is sometimes the problem.

Thanks very much everyone for responding. I had thought I would disconnect the tank from the common ships ground and connect it to the SSB ground. I have been checking my connections since the boat

Re: Changing engine bearings Amel Mango Perkins 4.236
Hi Frederic,
Did amel supply these parts for you? I'm hoping to replace the same mounts in the coming weeks as the engine is out of our Mango.
Thanks,

I was suggested by an expert to line the entire floor of the stern locker with copper foil and then solder it to the ground of the antenna

Re: SSB Ground
Joerg,
I am no SSB expert. Sometimes I think there is as much art to "fine-tuning" an SSB system as there is science. Maybe you need advice from one of those "artists."

Thanks, Olivier!
I took your photo and added it to the other photos I had. I hope that together these photos help others understand the exhaust system after SM #100. Corrective or Additional comments
