Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Watermaker and transmission fluid
Mark,
Eric is using an abbreviation. It is DEXRON II ATF. However, you cannot find DEXRON II because it is no longer made. Dexron VI replaced Dexron II and III.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Helm Seat
Pat,
I am pretty sure we have very similar seats. Of course, we all use our boats differently. Most of the time when we are on passage, I don't use the helmseat, but prefer lounging further back in

Hi Eric,
Would you mind posting the updated list of approved fluids from ZF? I looked long and hard for Dex II and could not find it.

Re: Installing diesel heating on a Super Maramu

This install is easy on

Olivier, Thanks for that. I assumed the masthead top was the same as the SM.

Re: Santorin spinnaker question
Hello Herbert, Alan and Bill,
the Santorin main mast was not fitted with the welded aluminum like on the SM2K.
Here are pictures of an SM (before SM2K) masthead with a stainless steel support bolted

Bill, Thanks for the explanation. If you re pickled after three years and then ran it for a long time to flush it out ,would that get you back to a good set of membranes? Hate to buy new ones ,these

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Easy and novel way to remove membrane end caps.
Ian, Yes, I did mix up the solutions...I like yours a lot, but would like Eric's if he included the beer.
Eric, if you have compressed air on board, it isn't as messy.

Bill,
I think you've mixed us up--mine is the solution with the beer; Eric's is strictly teetotal ( I know, it's hard to believe he's a real sailor!)

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Watermaker and transmission fluid
If the membrane is pickled with sodium metabisufite (also called sodium pyrosufite) the issue with long term storage (beyond about 1 year) is not damage to the membranes from the pickling solution,
