Good afternoon Ian, at the bottom of the door (washboard), 4 or 5 screws hold a plywood board (set behind) that prevents the washboard from coming up higher than the necessary (top of the wooden

Kent, Lexan will be more expensive and stronger, but will scratch much easier. If I were you, stick with what Amel used in the windshield...plexiglass. Bill BeBe 387

Hi Kent we don't have any experience in using that product for hatch covers. We very successful used it for windshield and side shields. We were careful to wash it with deluded Joy dishwashing soap

Thanks Richard. Did you find that scratching was an issue? Is that what you would use? Kent

Hi Ian. Someone posted here a couple (few?) years ago about doing just that. I can't find it right now, but I know it's there somewhere. Kent SM243 Kristy

Eric, Interesting. The inspection plates on BeBe 387 have some sort of rubber like gaskets. No silicone was added and the gaskets are in good shape. I am curious about your description of getting to

Hi we have used Lexsan on a number of windscreen replacement projects on Amel's. You need to take great care about scratches and what you use to clean it. The price is a bit higher and so is the

Interesting, Paul. Thanks for bringing that for discussion. Does anyone have experience with Lexan for this application? I've heard that it scratches too easily, but the hard coating a la eye

Hmmm. I was told by someone? that there was no internal filter in our tanks. That seems like a real problem waiting to happen. Did you replace it or remove it? Kent

Great, thanks Eric. Do you happen to remember the name of the sealant? Kent

My companionway washboard had become grubby due to rubber deposits from the bottom seal so I decided to sand it down not realizing that the outer surface was a wafer thin teak veneer. The inevitable

We've had good luck with the Mr. Funnel filter, we use the largest one with 2 filters in the bowl. The flow rate is good and it allows you to reasonably fill your Amel tank at the fuel dock at 12

I was thinking of a little anode hanging on a wire and fastened to the bolt on at the top where the wires are. It would be quite interesting to do it just to see if it gets eaten away at all.

Hello Joe and Chris, You guys are a wealth of information... I will continue my research but the Montego and Maestro club looks like a great start point. Cheers, Jean-Pierre Germain SY Eleuthera,

I think an anode would need to be installed low down to be effective and would likely be harder to change than the copper strap in the first place, which probably brings the argument full circle I

Thank you for you advice. I have on my list in the near future to add an extra day tank and thought of using the life raft locker for that too for peace of mind and extra fuel capacity. with a Baja

I think youshould use Polycarbonate plastic (traded under the name Lexan or Markrolon. It’sless brittle and have better impact strength than. Polymethylmethacrylate(PMMA) more known as Plexiglas

I suppose technically the best to protect the strap would be a small zinc anode on it as the bilge water is not in the same water body as the rudder anode (unless you have a very big problem!). I
