Electronic Barometer
Ken,
I've installed a Weems & Plath electronic barometer; it'll show hour by hour pressure history for up to 48 hours, in addition to other features. Even has a icon of a sailboat heeled over that'll be displayed if the pressure drops too rapidly. See at weems-plath.com.

Hard Dodger
nomadforpaul <pflafrance@...>
Has anyone attempted to raise the heighth of their dodger? We are
thinking of raising it approx. 6 inches by cutting above the window and raising. New windows required and would improve forward view and the starboard window would open.

Did you have your SM converted into a cat?
What was the wind speed, direction? I'm looking for a recording barometer for my Maramu. Can you tell me the brand in your picture? Thanks, Ken Coats Golden Daze Maramu 192

Managed to use a friends cleaning solution on my membranes. They have 1400 hours on them and were putting out 2240 TDS . !/2 hour alkali, 1/2 hr rinse then 1/2 hr acid and 1/2 hr rinse, rinse in both cases in chlorine free fresh water. I was surprised at how little volume the high pressure pump puts through when merely circulating water at zero pressure. I would judge it at no more than 100 lph.However,put your finger over the output pipe and the pressure built up ok
Having finished the fresh water rinse I then reconnected the hoses and ran at low pressure for an hour and then tried to use the pump in earnest. Nothing happened. Couldnt raise any pressure at all. No hissing noise, nothing. Thought that it might be an airlock somewhere, this being the season of airlocks on Pen Azen ( see my Volvo airlock emails last month). So I disconnected the in and out pipes on the high pressure pump and ran it , several times. Still nothing. About to deep six the damn thing when I tried sucking through a pipe connected to the output tap on the Dessalator board in the galley. Then ran the pump for about 15 mins at low pressure and then at max pressure. Very gradually the pressure built and after a few false starts ( when the pressure was very uneven and cut out about 5 times) the pump settled down and started to produce at about 35 lph.Ran it for about an hour and then caught the product in 5 litre cans. The first tested at over 2000 TDS but the next 5 tested at 960! A result!It will do till our new membranes arrive ( Argentinian customs permitting). Anyone else had experience of cleaning membranes with cleaning fluid? Just goes to show what you can do with your time when winds up to 45k keep you on board at anchor for 4 days, in our case directly upwind , 125 metres, from The World and The Rotterdam which have to be two of the worlds largest passenger liners ( The World being privately owned condos). I just know that if we dragged we would sink them both. I cant believe they are a match for an Amel. Better not tell my insurers. Ushuaia at Xmas has about ten yachts about to leave for Antarctica, including Wanderer 111, the 50 year old , wooden, carvel built , 30 foot boat that used to belong to the Hiscocks and has done about 300,000 miles at sea including 5 circumnavigations. I asked Tees, her German owner ( had her 25 years) how much fuel he has. Well, he explained, in the main tank we have 20 litres.... but on a trip like this we do carry an extra 40 litres in jerries Thats OK then..... Lent him our sewing machine to patch his old sails ( must be 25 years old tho he does have new ones as well). Makes you rather humble... Cheers, Ian and Judy, Ashore between gales, Pen Azen, SM 302, Ushuaia, Argentina. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Hotmail is evolving check out the new Windows Live Mail http://ideas.live.com

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Sea Water Manifold Measurement Questions
john martin <symoondog@...>
Dear Gary, As I recall the od of the main pipe is 1-1/2 ,the engine is 1-1/4 od,and the gen set and a/c is 1 inch each. The 2 toilets are 1/2 inch id or 5/8 od. I think thats right. If you make a new one you should make it out of copper nickle which you can't find except in 20 ft. lengths. If you do find a source for it,(small pieces) please let me know. I made mine out of stainlees steel twice. The first welder didn't know you are surpose to blow a special type of gas in the pipe while welding stainless steel for under water use. Lots of luck John

Cheers for the gin. I have new end caps (from Amel),
however I did not receive the membranes yet and I am away from the boat. The job will be done in January and I will report the resulting TDS.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Lightweight RIB

Hi John and Anne, Just got our Sheerwater 280. NZ to Falmouth by sea and Miami to Montevideo air freight---and worth every penny.We can launch it by hand form the aft deck and retrieval is a cinch compared to our bullet proof but HEAVY Carib. It goes beautifully with our 2hp Yamaha and out of sight with our 15hp Now doing sterling service in the Beagle Channel.Thanks for the tip. Cheers, Ian and Judy, Pen Azen

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: D60 membranes
ianjenkins1946 <ianjudyjenkins@hotmail.com>
Thanks , Michael. Did you change the endcaps and bobbin at the same time and if so did you get them from Caroline Oldham or Amel?
By the way, I have found the solution to shot membranes. Mine were putting out 2240TDS before I shut them down. But get this....neat Gin comes in at 2.5 TDS. So I figured that with a couple of crates of Gordons in the bilges I could mix the lot and meet FDA regs ( 500TDS max). Imagine, showering and cocktails at the same time!

Hi Jan & Judy,
I ordered the membranes from Air Ice & Water, the reference is SW30-2521 and they cost $158 each. Prior to ordering, I consulted with Caroline at Advance Yachts who represent Dessalator in the UK.

Re: DISHWASHER & MICROWAVE
We made the mistake using the microwave with 60hz...it will work, but
it will shorten the life of the microwave. The breaker would trip whenever we attempted to use the microwave longer than about 5 minutes. The turntable in our microwave stopped working after using it with 60hz for a very short time. The dishwasher and clothes washing machine also should not be operated on 60hz. The A/C has not problems with 60hz or 50hz. Judy Rouse S/V Security Amel SM2 #387 --- In amelyachtowners@yahoogroups.com, "pjppappas" <pjppappas@...> wrote: the dishwasher and microwave.
