Alan, I looked through the Pochon Catalogue , it looked like they are a distributor of thousands of marine products , but I could not find the chain counter.Do you know that they manufacture , rather than just sell ? I figure the Z has to stand for something.
Thanks,
Pat SM 123

Chain counter

My electrician asked me to ask the group if anyone knew, who manufactured the chain counter display. Its black , square and has what appears to be a Z on the face of it. I need to get one fast , so appreciate any leads. Thanks, Pat SM123

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] what type of product to put on bolt attaching the windlass to deck?

Alexandre,

For any other application on the boat I can think of, 450F would be good enough, but for an exhaust manifold, it is not. May I suggest finding an auto part store and asking them? I’ll bet they have Never-Seez or something very much like it. It is something that any good auto mechanic would add to a bolt threaded into an exhaust manifold.. Bill

Yes, bronze and stainless threads are pretty much always happy together. Which is why I have always thought that using stainless steel turnbuckle bodies (rigging screws) was such a dumb idea. Running on the stainless threads on the rigging studs under high load, if you weren’t really careful (and sometimes where you are!) they can lock together--forever. Bronze bodied turnbuckles are readily available, and if you need the “shiny” look, just get the chrome plated ones. As for the why, I am not sure at the molecular level, but I suspect that the surface of the bronze just is not hard enough to scrape off the very hard chromium oxides on the surface of the stainless. But that is just a guess, and a real metallurgist will have a better, and probably mush more complex, answer When I install something on deck like this, I typically use butyl tape rather than silicon sealant. It provides a lasting seal that is easily removed when needed, works with any materials, does not make a mess, it’s very inexpensive, and it has a long shelve life. All nice things for inventory on a cruising boat. Bill Kinney SM #160, Harmonie Narragansett Bay, RI, USA “Ships and men rot in port."

Here is a picture http://nikimat.com/mast_tricolor_anchor_light_connection/mast_tricolor_anchor_light_connection_8.jpg Or you can look at the whole process I did to trouble shot. http://nikimat.com/mast_tricolor_anchor_light_connection_2.html Note: for now I removed my voltage stabilizer, as it was burn and I could not find the replacement parts. I am using LED tricolor and anchor light, but this was just changed 3 months ago, so not enough data to know if the bulb will last. On the 54 I would guess, situated near where the mast is bolt on and the wires go through.

Date: Monday, September 5, 2016, 10:22 AM Since we bought our SM last year (Feb 2015) we've replaced the anchor light bulb 5 times. The boat was little used - fewer than 800 hours on engine and generator - and we've had only the usual maintenance issues which makes this issue most perplexing. We're trying to determine what could cause premature bulb failures. I've suspected a bad batch of bulbs; a surge in the electrical when running the generator; or perhaps corroded fitting causing an on/off for the bulb thereby shortening their life. Has anyone had a similar experience? Also it would wonderful to have a source for high quality bulbs.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Masthead lights do not last
I routinely turn off all 24v equipment while doing an equalization cycle. I have not had a charger with an automatic equalization cycle because I fear what the high voltages might do to equipment that remains on during the process.

Hopefully that is becoming the manufacturing standard and would allow the range of voltages found on our vessels during normal operations. It does beg the question about equalizing the batteries at over 30v. If that is the case, perhaps lighting circuits should be turned off during equalization. Mike Ondra Aletes SM#240 Rock Hall, MD

Subject: Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Masthead lights do not last Hi Pat, It's my understanding that the new LED bulbs are much more tolerant to changes in voltage. When we charge our 24 V battery banks, absorption charge is usually in the 28.8 V range, when we equalize it is significantly over 30 V. If the bank is down in the mid-24 V range and we run a large winch or windless, the voltage may drop significantly below 24 V for a short time. Make sure that you check the voltage tolerances of the fixture/bulbs that you purchase. Kent SM243 Kristy On Sep 6, 2016, at 8:21 AM, Patrick Mcaneny sailw32@...

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] what type of product to put on bolt attaching the windlass to deck?

Now an email, they won’t ship Never Seez to Puerto Rico…

Any 2nd choice? Tef gel says it can take up to 450*F Is that enough? Thanks in advance, sincerely, Alexandre --------------------------------------------

Subject: Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] what type of product to put on bolt attaching the windlass to deck? To: amelyachtowners@... Date: Tuesday, September 6, 2016, 10:56 AM Bill, I must say that this was the best explanation I have ever read for why I have had so many problems with stainless on stainless threads over the years..thank you! I can now imagine the little batteries that are formed between the active and passive locations in such a fastener after Mother Nature adds her natural electrolyte….. Bronze and stainless threads seems almost never gall. Is the softer bronze acting as sort of a lubricant? I was thinking that on Sueno that I would probably start with a clean stainless windlass bolt and a clean hole. Add the Never Seez with a Q tip or something similar to the embedded plate only, keeping it off of the fibreglass. Then apply my sealant between the interface of the windlass and the deck but hold the windlass up off of the deck as much as possible while the bolts were inserted to keep from carrying the sealant down into the Never Seezed area. The objective being to avoid contaminating the faying surfaces for the sealant to insure a good seal. It’s too bad that a good seal to keep the water out also excludes the O2 needed for the stainless oxide for form but I feel that keeping salt water out of those holes is more important. I can imagine that once salt water migrates in around the plate that there is no cleaning/drying it out. Please tell me how you would do it since I am sure that you have put a lot more thought into this than I have.

[amelyachtowners] <amelyachtowners@...> wrote: If your intent is to take it apart every two or three years to clean salt build up from between the deck and the windlass housing as recommended by Lofrans, pretty much anything will probably work. I assume the deck plate is stainless, as well as the bolts, so in this case you are protecting against two issues, galvanic corrosion and "galling" or "cold welding". Most kinds of stainless steel can exist in two forms "active" and "passive" depending on the availability of free oxygen. These two forms are quite far apart on the galvanic scale. When stainless on stainless threads are wet it sets up a good environment for active and passive forms to exist close to each other and potentially cause issues. For this reason using a product that excludes water from the joint is a good idea. Lanocote, tef-gel, Never-Seez, or standard waterproof greases would all do this for a least a couple years. A simple way to think about stainless galling is that under very high pressures the protective surface oxide layer rubs off, the "pure" metal underneath "melts" into itself and the parts become welded together. In preventing this, in my experience, Lanocote is good, Tef-Gel and Never-Seez are better. Some greases are good, some not so much, at this. So... All told my recommendation would be either tef-gel or never-seez, and I'd know I could get them apart at any time in the future with no problems. On my boat I'd most likely use tef-gel only because it lives in my rigging tool bag, while the never-seez lives in the engine room!

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] what type of product to put on bolt attaching the windlass to deck?
James Alton
Bill,

I must say that this was the best explanation I have ever read for why I have had so many problems with stainless on stainless threads over the years..thank you! I can now imagine the little batteries that are formed between the active and passive locations in such a fastener after Mother Nature adds her natural electrolyte….. Bronze and stainless threads seems almost never gall. Is the softer bronze acting as sort of a lubricant? I was thinking that on Sueno that I would probably start with a clean stainless windlass bolt and a clean hole. Add the Never Seez with a Q tip or something similar to the embedded plate only, keeping it off of the fibreglass. Then apply my sealant between the interface of the windlass and the deck but hold the windlass up off of the deck as much as possible while the bolts were inserted to keep from carrying the sealant down into the Never Seezed area. The objective being to avoid contaminating the faying surfaces for the sealant to insure a good seal. It’s too bad that a good seal to keep the water out also excludes the O2 needed for the stainless oxide for form but I feel that keeping salt water out of those holes is more important. I can imagine that once salt water migrates in around the plate that there is no cleaning/drying it out. Please tell me how you would do it since I am sure that you have put a lot more thought into this than I have. Best, James Alton Maramu #220 Sueno Sardinia

Good morning Bill, James and Kent and thanks for your replies

The Never Seez is on its way, I was going to keep it for high temperature applications. Kent, glad the waterproof grease is working for you. I think I have tea gel, if not will use waterproof grease. I am now stuck: can not unscrew the “things” that hold the brushes in the electric motor… There was lots of rust on the case, I am afraid they are stuck for good… Which is pretty sad as when I run out of brushes, will likely need a new motor… Which leads me to another question: How many of you and have changed the brushes on the windlass electric motor? How long did they last for those who anchor a lot. Thanks again for your input!

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Masthead lights do not last
Most LED lights I have been seeing lately are rated at 10-30v. This was confirmed by an LED vendor. Hopefully that is becoming the manufacturing standard and would allow the range of voltages found on our vessels during normal operations. It does beg the question about equalizing the batteries at over 30v. If that is the case, perhaps lighting circuits should be turned off during equalization. Mike Ondra Aletes SM#240 Rock Hall, MD

Hi Pat, It's my understanding that the new LED bulbs are much more tolerant to changes in voltage. When we charge our 24 V battery banks, absorption charge is usually in the 28.8 V range, when we equalize it is significantly over 30 V. If the bank is down in the mid-24 V range and we run a large winch or windless, the voltage may drop significantly below 24 V for a short time. Make sure that you check the voltage tolerances of the fixture/bulbs that you purchase.

An electrician thinking it was only a converter just last week removed mine and installed 24v bulbs . He did not realize it stabilized voltage and I always wondered what it was , now I know. If he still has it , I could ask him to reinstall it , but he would also have to go back up to change the bulb back to a 12v bulb. Is it worth it . If I went with a LED tri-color would I need it?

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Masthead lights do not last
Hi Pat, It's my understanding that the new LED bulbs are much more tolerant to changes in voltage. When we charge our 24 V battery banks, absorption charge is usually in the 28.8 V range, when we equalize it is significantly over 30 V. If the bank is down in the mid-24 V range and we run a large winch or windless, the voltage may drop significantly below 24 V for a short time. Make sure that you check the voltage tolerances of the fixture/bulbs that you purchase. Kent SM243 Kristy
