Hi Gary, I am sure that a starboard hatch will give you a huge improvement in ventilation whenever there is any sort of breeze. My hatch is just a bog standard one in a grey polycarbonate. If anyone

Hi everyone, Does anyone have the service manual and parts manual for the Perkins Prima M80T BB30143? Can I get a photocopy of these, at my cost? This is the 80 hp four cylinder turbo that was

Gary, My thought was to add a sensor and monitor the water output on a continuous basis from the water maker panel. What do you think? I have to take a closer look at the wiring/plumbing diagram of

11 Dec 2005 Hi John: I have long considered adding a hatch for the aft cabin. We have not altered the bed in the aft cabin as you have and so I would plan on placing the new hatch on the

Eric: I was thinking of just paralleling the spare sensor with the two wires that go to the current sensor and interposing a double pole double throw switch so that I could place the "testing"" sensor

Hi Mark: Thanks for your reply. I visited the www.airwaterice.com site and those do indeed seem to to be the membranes that we need. What a relief to find them at that price. I will call them

I am in the market for an amel and I would like to crew on one if possible first. I am located in Miami but will travel at my expence. Short notice is not a problem and you can email me at

Hi Gary: I am thinking about replacing my watermaker membranes. I have the same 220 vac Dessalator as you have. I searched the web and found Dow Filmtec SW30-2540 membranes for as low as $177

We have over 400 hours on our watermaker (40 l/hr, 24 V version) during 8 years of use. We have pickled it with sodium metabisulphite (?) every time we leave the boat for more than a week, or at
