Re: Electric heads on Supermaramu
Hi Ian and Judy
We had a boisterous sail from Bonaire to Puerto Rico last year during which my daughter was tossed onto the toilet in the forward head and cracked 3 of the plastic (?PVC) mounting lugs

Electric heads on Supermaramu
Hi all,
We have a rather selfish approach to guests, namely that we most enjoy their company when they stay ashore in an AirBnB and come day sailing. Occasionally we bend this rule . Alas, one of our

Karen, Thank you for the information, I will give it a go.

Re: Ground strap in bilge
Alan, I believe you have hit the nail on the head. It’s all about the resistance at the joint to the bolt. A wide flat strap provides the maximum surface contact area between the strap and the bolt.

Re: Ground strap in bilge
The fact that it is only milliamps makes the conductivity very important. Even a slightly bad connection at the keel bolt will make the keel rust. Best to use 3mm flat copper bar to make the best

Hi Mark,
No, unfortunately I did not get a manual for the earlier SM’s — as you say it would be very handy to have. The search continues!

Re: Ground strap in bilge
I am sitting south of Barcelona. One group member put me onto a German supplier, a former AMEL owner is trying to source it out of Britain and I have been told AMEL does still have them.
Glad I joined

Re: Ground strap in bilge
Hi Bill what’s your thoughts on using copper wire, instead of the strap. Will this provide enough electrical conductivity?

Re: Ground strap in bilge
This bilge bonding strap conducts micro volts. Stainless steel is much, much less conductive than copper. If I remember correctly, stainless steel has about 2-5% the conductivity of copper.
