Re: SM Turnbuckle
Gary et al,

Re: no bilgepump in saloon Am54
Jeroen,
If water gets into areas where it should not be, removing the water is the same as any other separate compartment. You need to pump it out. Generally any water in these compartments is minor.

I gave him Bill Rouses number to discuss. Not sure if they called. Seemed like a reasonable approach.

Re: no bilgepump in saloon Am54
dear Bill, i do understand how the bulkhead system works, with the waterticht compartments, yet it is not clear to me how to remove water from these compartments, without the aid of a pump.

Re: Starting Capacitor size for a 220v, 50Hz 2.5 kw water maker high pressure motor

Re: no bilgepump in saloon Am54
Hi Jeroen,
It's not clear to me... where did you run the discharge hose for the new pump?
These bilge compartments should always be dry so a high water alarm is usually sufficient for those rare times

On the topic of Bilge Pumps, what I find a bigger worry is the main bilge-pump can fail because of bad working valves. These are small rubber flaps inside the pump that start their career flat but
