Re: Bilge Tube Float Switch
Hi Gary,
My bilge switch is an APEM On-Off switch with long toggle. Unfortunately the 631xxxx or 636xxxx number is no longer readable...
The number might be 631H/2-5 according to the datasheet on

Re: Loss of drive on my Santorin
Thanks for all the responses gents...appreciated!
To answer all your suggestions. It’s difficult to tell if I increase speed slowly whether it makes a difference. It’s not obvious but I think it

Bilge Tube Float Switch
I know this was addressed before, but searching through the earlier posts I didn't run across the "answer" I was looking for.
This morning the bilge pump did not come on and while doing some

Re: Anchor sizing
Hello Victor,
As you own an SM, a 10 mm chain is vastly sufficient.. even a G70 grade 8 mm chain is overkill.
There are 3 grades of chain G30 (lowest grade), G40 and G70. G40 is the grade installed

Your Santorin has a different gearbox than my Maramu but I know when I had my clutches replaced the mechanic was very careful in making sure the thrust washer was the proper thickness. He actually

Re: Batteries starting to get weak - MMM - What to do -
Not that I’ve got lithium’s, but will hopefully at some point. Why not ask the battery manufacturer how to park the batteries? Surely they have a recommendation? Interesting thread. Thanks.

Re: Batteries starting to get weak - MMM - What to do -
Hi Joerg,
I don't want to annoy you but how long is the warranty on your installation? This whole "do leave the batteries at 100% for extended periods" is to preserve the batteries in 5-8 years time,

Re: Loss of drive on my Santorin
Just guessing, but have you tried totally disconnecting the cable from the transmission shift lever and shifting it by hand, thus absolutely eliminating adjustment as even a remote possibility?

Re: Winterizing my SM2 up on the hard
Dave, Unfortunately I have had to winterize my boats over the last 40 years more times than I would like. All I do is :
Have at least seven or so gallons of marine engine antifreeze in my engine room

Re: Loss of drive on my Santorin
I had a similar issue with my old Yanmar. Like you, it happened after I noticed that the shift cable was binding and I had replaced it. I initially had no issues but got stuck out from the marina sand

If the prop shaft alternator/ Vetus drive is increasing speed with revs then the issue is clearly after that. I have no experience of the mechanics of the C Drive, but I understand it is heftily

Re: Anchor sizing
Thank you Doniniqie and Heinz.
I only have 70 m. I would like to go for 100, but for the moment I'm using the combination of chain and rope because the last 30 m. very seldom use them.

Loss of drive on my Santorin
I have lost drive on my Santorin. It started when I replaced the morse throttle/gear selector and at first I thought it was bad cable adjustment meaning my gearbox clutch not engaging properly.
