Re: Water coming in at portside from a previous wrong repair
Victor,
I believe that you should get a professional opinion/survey.
I suggest that you ask the most qualified person I know.

Re: Cracked Forestay Chainplate
Thank you very much for the detailed explanation. The fracture was not in fact on a weld but rather on a bend. Even if it was bent under proper heat tratments I suspect that it still caused stress

Re: How much Solar?
Hello Billy, I just increased my solar to 2 @ 335w panels on a stern arch (670w total). In January in Antigua I'm averaging just under 3kw per day but it is increasing slightly as the days get longer.

Re: Cracked Forestay Chainplate
It’s likely that the “Y” had to be welded.
It’s very difficult to maintain the metallurgy of stainless, the proper mix of chromium, nickel, etc, through the welding process. Putting that

Re: Cracked Forestay Chainplate
For what it's worth, it looks like Amel changed the forestay chainplate design for the Super Maramu. Our forestay chainplate is one solid piece of stainless steel:

Re: How much Solar?
We have 3 345w lg panels. In a good summer day we can see 7kw. Max watts peaks at 1150w to 1200w.
This is with Firefly batteries. If they top off the batteries early in the morning I will switch on

Re: How much Solar?
Billy,
Our usage is pretty consistent, an average of between 200 and 250 W while at anchor, and 325W or a bit more when underway. This is with two chest freezers, and the front opening galley fridge

Re: Cracked Forestay Chainplate
Ellen,
This kind of failure is not unusual with stainless steel, and can be seen on many stainless parts in saltwater service, especially those under cyclical loads just like your headstay

Amel 55 Fwd shower valve leaking
I noticed yesterday that the fwd shower is dripping when turned off. It looks like a Paffoni brand shower mixer, the other taps in the bathrooms are similar brand.
Is there a rebuild kit for these?
