Re: turning direction of prop and thread pitch - Santorin
Hi Volker,
Originally, this Santorin has an aluminum casing C-drive, labelled CATEP, with a RH pitch propeller.

Re: Howes fuel treatment
Hi
I just want to get to the heart of this long discussion.
I have 30 years of positive experience with a full tank and an additive for diesel. There was never water in the tank and organic pollution.

Re: Howes fuel treatment
There is a third reason to keep the tank reasonably full. As the tank gets closer to empty the sloshing of the remaining fuel at lower levels will begin to stir up that sludge cocktail at the bottom

Hi Bernd,
When I purchased SM37 in 2016 the previous owner stressed to me to always keep the tank full and to always use the Baja filter. He said in the 16 years he had her no one drop of fuel

Re: Howes fuel treatment
Bernd,
the SN tank (I assume that SN119 is exact the same as SN120) has about 5l fuel (or a cocktail of fuel and water...) at the bottom of the tank that will stay there if you run it empty. I know

Re: BOW THRUSTER
Pietro and Bernd,
The small gear is held in place with a bolt and a key. And yes, Loctite should be used on the bolt.

Re: Recommended solar panel brand
"Higher operating voltage panels are better" is an overgeneralization. You need to factor in the desired performance, costs of the other parts of the system, topology of your charge controllers, and

Re: turning direction of prop and thread pitch - Santorin
On my Santorins prop it says: L 19 x 14
L = left turning
19 = 19 inch = diameter of the prop
14 = 14 inch = theoretical distance achieved with 1 turn

did you purchase the insert for rubrail with the same profile as attached in my previous message? AMEL is not sure if it will fit the 1997 model.
