SM Bow Thruster Motor bearing Snap Rings
Chris Doucette
Hi! I have been working on rebuilding by bowthruster-- As per the motor- mine has the typical rusted area neer the spline shaft.
Question... as mine is so rusted does anyone have a sizing / part recommendation for the INTERNAL SNAP RINGS? there are two I see (but soo rusted).. One small one on the shaft and one larger next to the berring. Chris Amarok SM #385

Dean,

What about T-ing into the forward holding tank or the riser from the thru-hull? The dehumidifier could gravity feed into it. It would involve some plumbing and it’s own valve. There could be a smell issue, that could be overcome with a trap… Just an idea to float. You would gain certainty regarding draining the condensate but lose some Amel integrity… Nick Amelia all put to bed ashore in Leros, and leaving tonight.. AML54-019

Just as a followup, I went with 3 group 31 AGM batteries and installed a victron smart shunt to keep track of the batteries charge state via Bluetooth on my cell phone and tablet.

Hi Roger,
This is not a marine item.Any bathroom or kitchen store will have suitable replacements. If in doubt, just take off the existing one and take it to the store.
That's what we did.

Re: Dehumidifier Drain Outlet
Hi Scott,
My dehumidifier is specified at about 12L per day too, but it never produces that much water unless we are creating some major humidity with the clothes dryer. In reality it produces about 2 litres per day while we are living on board, and no doubt less when the boat is unoccupied. Regardless, it still needs the bilge pump to operate. That's unfortunate about your bilge pump switch, and I can see how being on the port tack would delay the alarm sensor. Not sure I want two bilge pumps, but maybe a second alarm sensor on the STBD side of the bilge would be warranted. I replaced my switch this year (11 years old) because the terminals were a bit corroded and one of them broke when I was disconnecting it for cleaning. The switch was easy to source and it wasn't too difficult to fabricate an extender on the toggle. It has worked reliably since July, but past performance is no indication of future performance as you know !! That's a nice way way to keep your LFP's happy. Thankfully I don't have that problem with my hybrid battery system. I've set my LFP's to 65% SOC and switched them off completely. The 24V system is now floating at 27.4V on my AGM's. only. My LFP's are happy and my AGM's are happy. The debate in my mind is now about whether to turn on my MPPT over winter as a backup in the event that my MP-3000 fails. Cheers Dean SV STELLA A54-154

Re: Descaling the Seawater Lines
rossirossix4
I'm not that optimistic but I'd love to see if Salt-A-Way solution has any impact on disolving chunks. We use a solution when we rinse generator, engine, AC, toilet feed pumps, anchor wash, etc. and sometimes flush it down the toilets.
I've posted this elsewhere, but for anyone wanting to flush with fresh water but (like most of us when not docked) AND wanting to preserve fresh water.....We keep a plastic 8" diameter plastic mixing bowl in each head sink. We use the kind of kitchen bowl that has the urethane soft bottom. It catches the water when we wash hands or face. We empty it down the head after a thorough salt water flush. The water usually has some liquid soap in it as well. As a result the toilet hoses are filled with a fair amount (or total, depending) of fresh soapy water. Bonus--you can do the same to prevent mouthfuls of toothbrushing rinse and--if you shave--hair, from coating the hoses to the bilge and ending up in the bilge sump. (or if you are accurate just spit it out into the toilet). There have been a number of postings wondering about bilge sump smell even though kitchen sink waste is carefully controlled--we noticed a significant decline when doing this. Bob KAIMI SM429

Re: Dehumidifier Drain Outlet
Scott SV Tengah
Dean,
I've run a 12L/day dehumidifier both times we have left the boat and I let it drain into the sink. You are right that it's a risk if the bilge pump or switch fails when you're away but we mitigated that by having a boat watcher check the engine room once a week. Your remote monitoring solution works, too. Your hypothetical fear became my reality when my 12 year old bilge pump switch died without warning. Sure, I probably should have replaced it prior due to age, but it's not exactly an off the shelf product. This caused some relatively serious problems on a long upwind port tack passage, so I think it's best to install two pumps. My secondary alarm, mounted in the Amel standard position next to the AC pump, did not sound because it was elevated due to being on port tack. Luckily I was aboard, so the damage was limited. Just as important, I think you should have two switches mounted in the gray water bilge. This is what I'm going to do. As an aside, I don't plug in, but rather set the inverters (through the BMV-712 programmable relay and the inverter's remote on/off input) to run my dehumidifier between 60-100% SOC. This keeps the batteries happy. -- Scott 2007 A54 #69 SV Tengah http://www.svtengah.com

Thanks, all fine here... Engine and Gen I keep some deluted Antifreece in it after water flushing. Maybe vinigar is also good for Engine and Gen. I never found an appropriate fluid/chemistry for it, and all the descaler seemed to aggressively in my mind. Maybe I should not worry? Can’t find barnacle booster in Europe for a reasonable price and quantity. I think heat-exchange service is due from time to time anyhow.;-) Cheers Ruedi Von meinem iPhone gesendet

Re: Antifouling / Bottompaint
Hi Scott,
It's coming up to two years now. The hull was relatively clean last time I looked at it in May, only a small amount of soft weed fouling. I guess it was the same when the divers did it, nobody said anything. The barnacle epidemic that Danny refers to, we suffered from too. At that time we had Micron 66. There were a lot of boats in the North of New Zealand at the time that had that issue. I'm sure it had to do with water temperature and that season because it hasn't happened again since.

Re: Dehumidifier Drain Outlet
Vladan,
Nice. I'm keen to hear how that one works out. I already have a reliable unit onboard, but it does need to drain the water. It's also great for using in the forward shower area when the clothes dryer is in use as it creates a lot of moisture, which is removed almost immediately by the dehumidifier.

Hi Dean,
I bought this dehumidifier and waiting to be delivered. https://ecor-pro.com/product/dh1200-dryfan-12-litre-stainless-steel-desiccant-dehumidifier/ No need for drain outlet but need exhaust outlet (vent). I'm planning to install unit in cockpit locker and to make exhaust under mizzen mast, just above fresh air intake for Webasto. I think but not sure until I try, as temporary installation kitchen exhaust hose can be used. Best Regards, -- Vladan A54 #157 SV PAME
