Re: A54 top loading fridge /freezer strut
Hello
I guess we have the narrow one like Kokomo with a single strut on RHS (evaporator under worktop to the left of the opening).
It stopped working recently not long after I read about its replacement on a related fridge thread.
Rather heavy to hold if you trying to load at the same time...
Thanks

Hi Teun;
We have the small door for our top loading fridge in the galley and ours does have the struts. Ours also is getting weak and need replacing. So, input on this would also be appreciated if anyone has the part number.
Happy Sailing;
Mohammad and Aty B&B Kokomo AMEL 54 #099

Hi Soraya,
Looking @ your hull number (being very close to mine) I have been told that if you have the small top loading fridge/freezer there are no struts and you have to hold it open yourself ☹ Does GARULFO have the wide or narrow top?

Re: Self Insurance
Pat,
Agree; understand Bill ROUSE tried this over the last 2 years w/o success. But if we come up with a concept that as a group we would share part of the risk it might be different. It is now not so much anymore a matter of premium costs but it is becoming a matter of being able to get a quote at all on reasonable conditions.
Luckily I was able to get AMELIT insured for this coming year but the writing is on the wall. I hope there is a member of the AYOG who has some experience in this. I would think this should be of interest to LLOYDS. My companies used to have a COMMERCIAL LLOYDS OPEN MARINE POLICY where we would declare at the END of each month what cargo we had on the high seas to be insured during that previous month; was all based on integrity (and the risk of an annual audit hahahahahaha).
First step might be to get an idea how many people would be interested in concept (synthetic or not) to get a feeling on the size of the pool.

This is a rough outline of a self insurance or shared risk co-op, that I sent Kent and thought I would share with the group. It was prompted by the hassle I have had with obtaining insurance, the restrictions and expense. Bill suggested self insuring and just buying liability insurance, however in the event of a total loss, it would be a big financial hit, that I could not afford. However, if I could share that risk with even ten others or better yet many more, it would soften the loss. When you consider how few Amel's have been lost outside of a hurricane zone, the risk seems very low, and yet we need to insure against such a great financial lose.
1. A LLC. formed
2. An administrator and board to accept membership ,assess deposit amount , administer funds and assess claims.
3. A one time deposit could be a percentage of agreed fixed value, perhaps 2 or 2.5% ,eg. $200,000 boat would amount to a $5000 deposit into the fund
4. Coverage would be for total loss , fixed value minus say 10% deductible. Figuring most owners could absorb some loss ,and insurance companies have deductibles as well. Hurricane zones excluded.
5. Perhaps lightning strike coverage , perhaps coverage would be ,replace with new equipment ,minus a 30 % deductible.This would probably be the largest source of loss. May have a surcharge or higher deductible for Florida locations.
6. All funds would be in an interest bearing account,if you can find anyone paying interest.
7. Upon leaving the group , the owner would receive a 50% refund of his deposit assuming they had no claims.
8. Perhaps a .20% of fixed value annual fee to go to cost of administration .eg. $3000,000. boat x.20% = $600. annual fee
Assuming 200 owners/members at average boat value of $300,000 x 2.5 % = $7,500 deposit or $1,500,000.00 in funds. a $300,000. loss of a boat would break down to a loss of $1,350. for each of the 200 members.
This could even work on a smaller scale . If ten owners shared responsibility for loss. $300,000 minus deductible of 10% ,would be $ 270,000.000 divided by ten owners or $27,000 per owner. Its all about spreading the risk.
I wonder why no group has formed a risk co-op as yet. Maybe because insurance used to be less restrictive and more reasonably priced .

Re: Near constant hot water without a generator - Here is how i did it.
Ryan Meador
There's nothing special about "AC" vs "DC" for these heater elements, but the voltage does matter, and in common boating usage these current types imply a voltage as well. The element is just a resistor, so to achieve the desired number of watts, the resistance is sized for a specific voltage. If you run a 240V element at 24V, you'll get 1/10th the rated output (and vice versa will likely explode). The other electronics involved (like the thermostat) may actually care about AC vs DC and the voltage; I'm not sure. Some marine water heaters have two ports so you can have both AC and DC elements at the same time. I've heard using a DC water heater element as a wind generator's dump load works well.

Re: Zink Anode for SPURS Line Cutter
Bonjour Olivier, hello Rudi and Scott,
I want to add my observations of some years: The zinc anode of the Spurs line cutter is completely away after a year, if you do not have the zinc anode on the nose of (in my case folding) propeller. This means, the protection of the big 2 anodes on the rudder blade is most seemingly not enough to protect the line cutter (and the propeller I believe) from corrosion. After installing the zinc anode on the propeller (instead of the 'red nose plastic' - as Olivier says), which by the way is quite easy also in diving, I detect no corrosion anymore at the zinc anode of the Spurs line cutter. I am happy now with a full set of zinc anodes from bow to aft, on (1) the bow thruster, (2) the Onan Generator, (3) the spurs line cutter, (4) the nose of the Propeller and (5) the 2 big ones at the rudder blade. This should last and avoid any corrosion easily a year! Best regards Alexander Hofmann, SY Oceanica I, Amel 54#156 |

The purpose of the plastic part is to reduce friction betwen the shaft and the fixed blade. Have a nice day. Olivier. |
