Craig, I have changed mine several times - use both membranes. Be very careful not to drop parts down sump - I block sump opening with a sheet in case! Good luck Peter Carango Amel 54#035 Azores Peter

Hi craig, as a last resort, I looked in the equipment manuals supplied with the boat, and there is an exploded diagram showing the 2 diaphragms in the assembly so question answered. Use both, the one

Hi, If you plan on coming down Long Island sound, please drop by. The huntington Yacht club is a very nice place with guest moorings, showers, restaurant . It is a very sheltered harbor and has all

Hi Bob, Just one, as I recall. It'll become clear, of course, when you open up the pump. Wear gloves - yucchy job ! Cheers, Craig SN68 Sangaris ---In amelyachtowners@..., <renaissanceiii@...> wrote

Hi Steve, Yep, that's the booklet. Check out the "Folding Rule Method" of tensioning. Sounds reasonable that the existing rig is loose due to stretch. That makes it pretty easy to tension back up -

Hi guys, I have a Reya Marine ZZ bilge pump that started leaking, caused by a torn membrane, luckily had a maintenance kit in my spares box, there were two separate membranes in the kit along with a

Hi Dan, I have not replaced my faucets, but I did do some related plumbing when I added a drinking water filter (my one and only violation of the "wait one year" rule). My galley faucet, and I

Steve, thanks for the data, that's very helpful. Craig, thank you also for your advice. That's a great rule of thumb. I have The Complete Rigger's Apprentice, which discusses rig tuning a bit, but

Hi Ryan, I'd recommend Selden Mast's booklet Hints and Advice on Rig Tuning - you can download the pdf. They give a neat "folding rule" method (pg 32) of determining tension based on the fact that 2

Hi Gary, When I was at the factory, I also asked Jean-Jacque about the water line. As best as I can recall, he said that it looked better and that the boat would not get an ugly yellow mustache

I had Nance and Underwood (Ft. Lauderdale) replace my rig the winter and this is a photo of the guide they followed for tensioning my SM380 Steve Morrison SM380 TouRai Hilton Head, SC

Hi all, I'm about to embark upon tuning up my rig, which I feel is a little loose, but I'd love some guidance on how to do that. I've scoured the archives of this list and found many mentions of

Kent, Yep, as I said in my post I did try the Speedi Sleeves. Wasn't happy that you have to use two to get the width you need, so you're left with bit of a burr when you remove the lip of the 2nd

Gary, We raised the water line significantly when we applied Coppercoat eight years ago. We took the Coppercoat to the top of the orange stripe, left an inch or so above that and then added a new

The Speedi-Sleeves, Craig. I also wonder if the 17-4 SS would corrode over a 2-3 year time period. Kent Robertson S/V Kristy SM243 Tried which, Kent? The SpeediSleeves or the 17-4 stainless

Hi Gary, I did exactly what you're contemplating. It works very well. I got the aft section high enough but a little narrow, but if you duplicate the width of the stripe all around you should be fine.

Gary, I think that you are on the "right track," although 6" seems a little much to me. FYI, I saw a SM currently owned by Bill Maffei when prior to his ownership, the orange stripe was raised to a

Hello all: As the hull repairs progress on our hull #335 SM from the Hurricane Maria/Irma damage, the idea of raising the waterline aft is being considered. Every Amel I have ever seen,
