Re: autoprop zinc
Dear Bill,
My remark is only that if you have a fault on the grounding system if you have an zinc cap on the propeller you loss the zinc and not the bronze of the Autoprop .... and so

Re: autoprop zinc
Mr MERTZ,
I am sure of what I said.
If your Gray Water Bilge Bonding Strap is not connected, and you experience any electrolysis to devices other than the Cast Iron Ballast, something else is wrong,

Re: autoprop zinc
Mr. MERTZ,
When the copper Bonding Strap in the Gray Water Bilge fails, it is the Cast Iron Ballast on the Keel Stub that is at risk, NOT the Propeller.
The Propeller is protected by Amel bonding

Re: autoprop zinc
Hi. I regard my propellor too precious to risk so I put a shaft zink on between the prop and the c drive housing. I have to cut it back a bit to fit. Obviously this means i can't have a cutter there

Re: Amel 54 Standing Rigging and changes to the Mainmast Lower and Intermediate Shrouds
Amelia AML 54-019 2006 has 10mm lowers and 8mm intermediaries.
This is annoying as when I bought the boat in 2017, I had all new standing rigging made.
Food for thought.....

Removing the end-stop and the stanchion each time you need to replace the sliders or the springs is a bit much. I think that removing the un-needed part of the track was the right decision. Now, I

Re: Batteries: copper bars will not work - be sure that you have jumpers to wire the pairs in series
Thanks Bill, Dan,
OK, Perigee has a copper bridging bar for each pair, running between the threaded studs of each battery in a pair.
But point taken, there may be the need to use cables to bridge

Re: Batteries: copper bars will not work - be sure that you have jumpers to wire the pairs in series
I do not think the copper bars will work on all of the pairs...I just do not remember. Maybe Dan Carlson (CC'd) can answer this. They might, but you need to be prepared with jumper wires.

We have the copper bridging bars, for use with the threaded studs with nut. Naturally enough, if we add
