Re: bug screens for small portholes
greatketch@...
Our boat came with two sets of screens. The original from the manufacturer, (which kind of, well, more than kind of, suck) and a much, much, much nicer set designed and built by Harmonie's previous owner.
The better set were made with two frames cut out of plastic that are glued together with the screen sandwiched in between. That assembly in the held in place with small but powerful magnets set into the window frame. I'm away from the boat for a few days. I'll post pictures when I get back.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] VAT exemption in Martinique
Alan Grayson
Hi John, I tried to find the file on the VAT on the yahoo groups but no luck. What is the secret to finding a certain file?
Could you please email me the info direct. Bazgrayson at hotmail.com From: amelyachtowners@... on behalf of biohead@... [amelyachtowners]
Sent: Sunday, 19 March 2017 11:26:20 p.m. To: amelyachtowners@... Subject: [Amel Yacht Owners] VAT exemption in Martinique Hi All, I thought this might be helpful if you have major service in Martinique. The Martinique Cruisers Association recently put out a guide clarifying how to have your vessel related purchases exempted from VAT and a few other taxes. I pasted a link to their FB page below. I will upload their document to the files as well.
It costs a bit to get the exemption, but once in place it is good for any purchase you make related to the vessel. I had a complete rerigging performed while here (about 10,000 euro) and also purchased a few thousand in Amel spare parts recommended by Jean Collin the Amel service center here in Le Marin, so it was a no brainer for me. Essentially any boat related purchase is covered. In the process, you receive a duty free number that you present to the vendor and voila! no tax!
Apparently I was the first Amel customer to do this. Jean had to call the customs broker to verify it was legit and how to actually execute the process.. Jean came to the boat the next morning with a big smile on his face to tell me it was all good. This was the first time Amel had done a VAT free transaction here. I think there will be more VAT free Amel purchases in the future.
Caraibe Marine one of the the service providers for Amel already knows about the process and had no issues applying the exemption.

I glued the sticky part of velcro inside the frames and just attach a soft mosquiro net fabrics to the velcro.
Very convienent in the porthole in galley since it is so easy remove the net and put it in the washer when dirty.

How did you balance the weight of 75 gallons (over 500 pounds) of diesel that far outboard on the port side? |

The pilot berth's opening port's weather stripping has hardened and now seeps when drenched. Does anyone have a source for new weather stripping of that type, size and shape? Thanks, Russ S/V Jane Franklin, SM-116 |

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] bug screens for small portholes
Bill & Judy Rouse <yahoogroups@...>
You can probably buy them from Goiot. If you can find them, they are over 100 euro each. You can probably fabricate some with a 5/16" window screen kit by ScreenTight from Home Depot and use some rubber gasket material for the rounded corners of the port opening.

bug screens for small portholes

I'm looking for suggestions on how to put screens over the small portholes on the SM2000, for example the one over the stove/oven.

Re: Alternative for not working Sonic Speed sensors
There are basically two types of P79,
One is a direct connection to Hydra 2000 or Raymarine or....any analogue system, Any of these should work...just cut off the connector and wire directly.
The other is a NMEA version...called a P79 Smart™ Sensor Only use this one if you are connection to NMEA 0183 system. Cheers Alan Elyse SM437 |

Re: Alternative for not working Sonic Speed sensors
greatketch@...
In a related thought on the second half of your post, although at first glance speed through water (STW) and speed over ground (SOG) might seem redundant they are not.
Having both allows you to calculate actual current set and drift which, at least to me, are vital navigation data. If I had to chose one, I would definetly choose STW as the more important navigational tool. Bill Kinney SM160 Harmonie Ponce, PR |

Re: Alternative for not working Sonic Speed sensors

For compatibility information on the P79 you might call Airmar directly. They have good tech support.
I have a P79, but did not connect it to the Hydra. Bill Kinney SM160 Harmonie Ponce, PR |

Re: Alternative for not working Sonic Speed sensors
Hi Bill and others, Thanks for the information and idea's you provided. Just a question about the Airmar P79 depth only transducer. Which specific model do I need to connect this to the Hydra 2000 computer? In the mean time I bought a used B&G paddle wheel transducer tot put in the hole of the B&G depth sensor. One of the suggestions of Bill Rouse to buy a Tinley box to convert SOG data from the GPS to the B&G analogue meter is quite costly and these data are already visible on my plotter and on the autopilot screen. Therefore I bought the paddle wheel sensor, only to be used under way. So I need an in-hull depth transducer, if I don't want to drill another hole in the boat. Kind regards, Willem J. Kroes |
