Kent, Welcome back to the Bay , I just did all that except the hatch gaskets , which are on my list. If you up this way take a look at what we have done , its worked out well. If not maybe Diane and I could sail south meet up you somewhere.

I hope you are all having a grand time where ever you are. I am back inSt Michaels,Maryland preparing Kristy for Pacific cruising in a year or so, and spending time with my new girlfriend, Iris. I need to replace the input hose from the raw water manifold to the air conditioner pump. Does anyone know the internal diameter of that hose? It looks like it's probably over an inch (25mm). Does anyone have suggestions about other upgrades or spares that I should have before I sail the Pacific? I'm adding an arch/davits, Solar/?wind, new cockpit cover, replacing all hatch gaskets... Thanks in advance. Kent SM243 Kristy

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Dinghy choices?
John Clark
The Oceancraft is a really nice choice, but I can tell you the Delos sized model won't fit. I have a SM and the 10ft AB Mares VSX barely fits anywhere on the SM. Last passage we suspended it on the transom over some fenders. Ugly but worked. My next trial spot is on a cradle on the forward cabin top. Length is just small enough to fit on fwd or aft cabin roof but center console will interfere with mizzen boom. I think the length is going to be your issue...

I was referring to the OceanCraft Aluminum dinghy on SV Delos and SV Island Pearl II. I want to order one from Australia and have it shipped to the USA. I have a 48ft Maramu and I wondering if i need one shorter than the 3.0 to fit on the deck? Ill have to check the size this week.

Getting back to your original question of where to buy a new switch, I just bought a replacement switch. It's a Littelfuse Brand "TR Series Dual Pole 500A Master Disconnect Switch", Part 880175. It's pretty much the same size as the original so mounting took only minor mods. It comes with M12 X 25mm terminals, but M10 is available and may fit your battery cables better. I paid $55US through Waytek who list it as a Cole Hersee 880175. I've seen it elsewhere for about $100.
Cheers, Craig, SN#68 Sangaris

Pat , We switched the starter switch on and off several times . It was a crap shoot as to which time the starter motor started.

Perhaps you could introduce yourself - are you shopping for an Amel? What's your name? home port, etc. There are no bolts on the forward face of the original Santorin mast. Craig, SN#68 Sangaris
Hi every body and thank you in advance for sharin your knowledge!
I have visited a 1991 sloop rigged Santorin in La Rochelle couple days ago. The boat is fine. But i have been very surprised by discovering on the forward face of the mast foot three big stainless steel bolts. Is it a standard feature? What is its purpose? The paint on the mast was tearing around these bolts, is this a sign of ss/aluminium bad neighbourhood?
