Re: Cockpit enclosure
Danny and Yvonne SIMMS
Hi Bernd, I clamped the tube to the mizzen side stay as in Bill Rouses photo but I ran it over the boom rather than under. This has the advantage of much better head room. Regards Danny SM 299 Ocean Pearl

Re: Cockpit enclosure
There are several ways. The examples below are for a SM. I believe that they will work for a SN Ketch, but not a Sloop. Look for the eye bolt under where the mizzen boom connects to the mast. Use a piece of PVC through the bolt and stainless steel tubes slide over the PVC. Clamp the tube to the mizzen shroud this way:

Cockpit enclosure
Hi,
can anyone please give advise and provide pics how you did fix the aft cockpit enclosure on a SN or SM? especially how and where did you attach the support arch in the aft. -- Bernd SN 119 / Cascais, Portugal

Re: no bilgepump in saloon Am54
Hi Brian & Sue, I'm interested in both of your modifications. I guess most if us have overfilled our fresh water tank at least once. At least the bilge gets cleaned ;-)> The only way I have of pumping water from the saloon or cabins is a sump pump that requires my 24vDC > 119v AC inverter to be functional, or a small 24v DC pump that I have used for water that collected by the forward head when the bow thruster seal failed. I have just the primary bilge pump and manual Whale pump in the engine room. I heard a talk by a couple who got knocked down (not Amel) in the Indian Ocean by a rogue wave during an otherwise manageable storm. They had a boat full of sea water and their cabins were strewn with debris from every locker and drawer in the boat. Paper from their paperback books turned to mush and clogged their bilge pump. They ended up using a bucket. Eventually they called for help and abandoned ship because they had no fresh water, no electricity, no way to heat food, no engine, and no standing rig. This story prompted me to install the battery box bolts that have never been there since I bought Kristy; I will install latches on the cabin sole lockers; I am looking at options for additional pumping capacity. Do you have pictures of your modifications? I guess there is a fitting through the forward engine room bulkhead? How much water will your engine pump? What do you do about debris? I guess the intake in the sump only allows pumping out water that gets into the grey water system. That wouldn't help much if there was water in the cabins or saloon. Has anyone added an engine-driven pump that would not require an intact electrical system? Any other thoughts?

Re: SM Turnbuckle
Gary Silver
Hi John:
Thanks for your work on this. I will next be aboard on 4 June 2020 and will initiate some photo exchanges with ACMO. What was involved with, "engineer directed attempts to "clean" the chrome". Did they specify how quickly you had to return the removed turnbuckles? Just going on the hard the end of June and not sure I could get the new and swap out things in time. Again, thanks for the heads up. Gary S. Silver s/v Liahona Amel SM 2000 # 335 Puerto Rico

Re: no bilgepump in saloon Am54

Dear Mark

I have this style of alarm and it works well so long as the battery is good and all connections in the battey compartment are also good.
The pump that pumps out the grey water in the engine room could help with the flooding as i too flooded my freshwater, I now sit focused, like when refueling, watching the water fill. What I have done is put a “y” toilet diversion valve inline. I have
the original suction going up through as original but I have fitted some cam lock fittings and about 12 meters of hose so I can now reach most disasters by switching over the “y” valve and pump out the remote areas.
The other thing I installed was a “t - fitting“, valve and strainer on the main engine raw water cooling line with another pick up into the bilge incase the grey water pump failed or I can use the motor as an emergency pump if needed in an emergency.
Cheers

Re: Zink Anode for SPURS Line Cutter

Hi Ulrich,
If you contact Leean Ali at Spurs and give her your information she should be able to tell you the size you will need. Spurs also sells replacement parts and rebuild kits. I believe if you ship them your line cutter they can preform a servicing and rebuild on your line cutter and ship it back to you too.

Re: no bilgepump in saloon Am54
It is loud. I can clearly hear the alarm outside of the boat with the hatch closed. Also, if you want it louder, the water sensor is on about 2 feet of wire. So, you can put the sensor in the area you wish to detect water under the floor and the alarm can be mounted higher up and not obscured or muffled by the floor.
With best regards,
Mark

How loud is this alarm? Will you hear clearly when in any of the forward or aft cabins and or saloon?
I have a 3rd party alarm but I can NOT say it is blood curling loud.

Olaf,
Assuming that your Onan is the same that Amel installed and has not been modified, Amel ordered the 12 volt isolated ground version. If your current sensors have 2 wires, that are for the isolated ground version.
