Re: SSB Ground

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

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, Ellen

Re: SSB Ground

HF shall do no harm neither to the Amel bonding system nor to all connected metals, even if transmitting with high power. It is the DC connection that has to be avoided, and this DC connection will be

Re: SSB Ground

Hi Joerg I believe that it is hard to improve on a direct connection system using dynaplates. If the connections are good and the dynaplates are relatively clean then I am not sure that extending the

Hello Joerg, all the metal parts of your AMEL 55 (including your fuel tank) are connected together with the green/yellow wiring net and with the zinc anodes of your rudder EXCEPT the SSB

Heinz, I believe most of that area in an SM is a false floor that is glassed in above the actual hull. Bill--

Re: SSB Ground

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 Fair Winds HEINZ Quetzal, Sm 2000, 292

On my boat 90% of Electric and electronic Problems are Connection Problems. This also applies to the SSB radio installation. I would check all the connections from start to end for corrosion and weak

Re: SSB Ground
