Re: Zinc Anodes
Hi Rick. Most of my clients buy the inch sized zincs without the copper insert ( easy to find ) and ream or drill the hole slightly larger to accept the somewhat larger metric fastener. I did this on

Re: Zinc Anodes
Hi Rick,
I’m assuming you are talking about the anodes on the rudder. We have used similar sized US anodes, widely available, and just drill the center a little bit so that the bolt will go through.

Re: Battery Switches
Eric ,In trying to track down my issue I have done that and the voltage was the same. When the engine will not start,if I switch the switch on and off several times ,often the engine will then start.

Zinc Anodes
Hey Folks,
Wondering if anyone has a good source for metric anodes on the US easr coast. The ones I'm replacing have a 10mm threaded brass sheath in the middle to take the bolt. Any ideas? I've called

Re: Refrigeration guy in Volos Greece
Hi Arno,
You may be right but a couple of years ago the chest galley fridge had a refrigerant leak and it turned out to just need a joint soldering right by the compressor.
So fingers

Re: Battery Switches
Hi Pat,
Just for laughs.
Test the voltage between the lead posts on the starter battery and the connections at the back of the switch.
I found that the cables were internally corroded as Amel uses

Backstay Tension A54

Paul on mine ,which should be the same,there is a small hole in the red handle ,I assume it was there because there was a pin holding the handle in place. Did you remove yours by just pulling it

The handle on my switch is just to pill off just friction holding it in place.

Re: lithium battery warning
@Michael, insurance has a different point of view on lithium 🙂 it is about stats and making money.

Re: Battery Switches
I received a quote from Maud in April 2019 for 236.07 Euros plus tax and transport. This was for a 54, not clear if the disconnects are interchangeable.

Re: Maramu sail plan
It looks like it is set up for a hank on sail of some kind. The previous owner has made some odd choices here and there. BTW we were looking at a catamaran in Brunswick when my wife saw her first

Battery Switches
I need to remove my battery switches ,hopefully to clean the contacts. Does anyone know the trick to removing the handles. It is hard to see into the small holes ,but I don't see a split pin to drive

Re: Maramu sail plan
Randell,
The term “mizzen ballooner” is Amel’s odd and unique way of referring to what everybody else in the sailing world calls a “mizzen staysail.” They are equivalent terms that refer to
