Re: Keel rust and ballast straps on a Maramu
Thanks Miles!
How did you avoid dropping the nut out of the socket when you removed it with the long extensions?
Is that attachment point at the top something you added, or is it original?

Re: Cleaning Water Heater
If the zinc is OK you should do nothing more as inspection. The thin coating (film) works as a protection and will soon come back when you remove it. Only rinse the tank. That is sufficient.

Cleaning Water Heater
Hi all,
I just opened my water heater to check the zinc. It's been a few years since I've done this. I found the zinc mostly intact, but covered with a greenish film. The water is a little discolored

Re: Two questions
Marinepartseurope has several starter switches listed, I just wouldn't know which one is for your setup. I did put in a new panel in Martinique (there's a Volvo store there) and I'll guess they could

Re: Converting my Amel 54 to lithium batteries: what I did, what I like and what I don't like (after one year of full time live aboard use)
Scott,
First off, thank you for sharing both the details of your LiFePO4 setup and your "real-world" experiences with the system. It's been extremely helpful to me in planning my electrical system

Re: Standing rigging - France
Hi Mark
I was in Golfe Juan the other day and saw that you had a very nice arch installed.
Would you mind sharing who did that great work for you?
Note that we are almost neighbors 😁

Re: Two questions
Can't help with Q1. Q2: The seals for the hatches are available from most
chandleries. I did ours while in Martinique. The square rubber fits best. It
is sold by the foot or meter from a big spool.

Arlo,
We have Mango #62, (1986). We have a removeable inner forestay that seems to be original equipment. We use this with a hank-on sail for the second head sail when sailing downwind. It works

Re: Keel rust and ballast straps on a Maramu
Steel is steel. If bare steel is exposed to salt water it will rust. It is very important to immediately prime the ballast as soon as it is sanded. Slight oxidation will cause the bottom paint to
