Is the shore power 50 or 60 htz? (you do not state where you arelocated) With bestregards, Mark Skipper Sailing Vessel- Cream Puff - SM2K - #275 Currentlycruising - Tahiti, French

The Shore Power Ground Fault Interrupt is much more sensitive than the GFI main breaker on your SM. And the dishwasher will heat water until it gets hot enough to open small cracks in the heating

I am interested in getting new rub rails as well. Have a couple of questions... Gary Silver said " When you install it you want to make sure that it is installed in compression because it does shrink

Thank you for reply. But heater is heating when running 220V from generator. regards, slavko

Thanks everyone for your advice. I am anchored of Mikanos and it is cranking up to 40kn. My spade anchor is holding but I am reluctant to start taking cables off the battery switch. However I have

This is a very common issue. The water heating element needs replacing and as far as I know, there are none available. Another owner stated he was going to have one made in Hong Kong where his SM is

So far have only sent sketch Jim Watkinsand pictures. I will send die drawing when finished, Jim Watkins\ Act II Maramu 185

Dear Nick I had also electrical leak that came from the bow thruster. It came, like Thomas wrote, from the carbon dust. I opened the cover of the bow thruster, cleaned it with a small clean painting

Hello, last time when connected to shore power I have used dishwasher and after one minute all the power went off. Including the shore power unit. This did not happened when running air conditioning

Jim, that would be great if you could post a picture or sketch of the die when it is done. Did you send them a section of rub rail for them to match? s/v Charisma Alan Mango #62

Hi Thomas and Soraya, Do you know the distance between the mast head and the connection point just above the door to the guest room? Regards, Arno Luijten

In 1986, the Sharki, Maramu and Mango all shared the same rub rail. I believe they did throughout the entire production. I sold my first Amel in 1981 and am not sure of the years previous to that.

I am not sure exactly on the various rub rails but they are for sure different. The information I have is that the Maramu and Sharki are the same. If you wush I will send you a drawing of the die

I was at Compressed Air Incorporated last week picking up some filters. Shooting the breeze with the owner he offered he routinely sees 20+ year old Bauers working fine. Porter A54-152

Coltri works well, but the materials used are of less quality than Bauer. Obviously the cost is different. My Bauer, built in 1984, looks like new. Giorgio Ardrizzi sy Saudade III - Sharki #1 Fort de

Hi all, We have now installed the new antenna and vhf rg-8x cable from Glomex. We bought the 30m of pre-crimped cable and it turns out 25m would work too, as we measured the minimum length with

Jim, I'm curious if your Maramu rub rail might be similar to our Mango hull #62, built in 1986. What did you send them to confirm the profile? Are you able to post a picture of your rub rail

Any insight on bauer vs. Coltri? Thanks Soraya Garulfo A154-122 Tahiti, French Polynesia

Nick, Remember that there may be more than one source for the leak. In that unfortunate case, you would not find the leak by disconnecting a faulty circuit since another faulty circuit will still show

Hi Nick, Bill's comment that these problems can be elusive and your saying it is a straight run in a conduit reminded me of a problem in SM Miss Lindy years ago. They had had near-fire meltdowns of
