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

Dear all (cruising in Greek Waters), Since many years there is a discussion about a "Cruising Tax" for ships in Greek waters. It appears to be in place since the beginning of May. I received

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,

Not sure ! I my case I detected the fault on the bonding strap in the grey water bilge by seeing the colour of the Autopro propeller .... and ... after repairing the bonding, the

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

Nick, that is exactly the reason I posted this as soon as I found out about it and confirmed that it happened. Amel 54 owners need to know. I am sure that if you didn't go to Amel or ACMO, you

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

After 15 years the main bonding in the lowest point in the black water box faille. Then your Amel bonding system is NOT operating and the Autoprop is attacked ! his colour change

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..... Nick

Hi Ken, everyone to their own. I didnt think once every 17 years too arduous to remove two screws in the stauncheon base. Regards Danny SM 299 Ocean Pearl

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

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

Regarding the thread on using the copper connecting bars versus cables to connect battery pairs: I had only one copper bar, connecting one of the pairs along the front of the box (BeBe has 12

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. Best, Bill

Hi Bill, .> copper bars will not work Whoa – this is a trap for the unwary! Why is this? We have the copper bridging bars, for use with the threaded studs with nut. Naturally enough, if we add
