Re: SM holding tank internal details
Mark McGovern
Mike,
I have what I would call a "European" spec SM so I don't even have a pumpout riser in my holding tank at all. I just have a hole in the deck with a plug. I actually had to make a hose with a pumpout fitting on the end of it in order to pump out the holding tank. I call it my "poop straw". In the photo album link I sent Bill Rouse has a sketch of his holding tank where he shows the inlet to the holding tank being a straight 38mm bronze pipe that is glassed into the holding tank at the bottom of the tank and extends upwards towards the top of the tank: https://amelyachtowners.groups.io/g/main/photo/84526/12?p=Created,,,20,2,0,0 This is the setup that I seem to have on Cara. There are also several pictures of completely corroded outlet pipes in the folder. One could only surmise that the inlet pipes will suffer the same fate and that it is only a matter of time before we all will be replacing these. -- Mark McGovern SM #440 Cara Deale, MD USA

Re: SM holding tank internal details
Hi Mark. Thanks. And this is for others who may have a configuration nearer to ours.

I believe the pumpout riser is probably the same. However In our hull #240, with manual pump, the riser from the toilet enters the bottom of the tank and apparent continues inside the tank to discharge near the top. That is the piece I am trying to get a handle on. Perhaps this riser is external in later models, a hugely better idea. Mike

Stern tube hose
Arlo
Hello all. I am looking for a source for 54mm stern tube hose for my stuffing box on my 1985 mango. 54 mm is equal to 2 1/8 inches. Preferably a U.S. supplier as we are located in the US and need it next week. None of my normal resources can get it. :(

Mike,
Thankfully, I have not needed to tackle this job yet. However, I did remember seeing a post by Gary Silver posted that had a sketch of his holding tank system. You can find it here: https://amelyachtowners.groups.io/g/main/files/Amel%20SM%20Holding%20Tank%20Plumbing%20Diagram/Holding%20Tank%20Plumbing.pdf There is also a lot of information in this photo folder: https://amelyachtowners.groups.io/g/main/album?id=84526 Good luck! -- Mark McGovern SM #440 Cara Deale, MD USA

SM holding tank internal details
After years of various issues with the metal parts of the holding tank assembly, it seems we are now facing their complete failure. Pumpout now does not remove contents, indicative potentially of a breach in the pumpout riser tube that should be sucking contents from the bottom of the tank. Disconnection of the supply hose from the pump discharges nearly the entire contents of the holding tank into the boat (less than pleasant), perhaps indicative of a breach in the supply riser tube which should be directing the effluent to near the top of the tank. Seems like a double failure at this point. So, does anyone have drawings, pictures or even knowledge of the 2 risers inside the tank? I have heard them referred to as bronze, but I suspect copper from what I have seen. Has anyone replaced them in their entirety? We have, over the years replaced the tailpieces that connect to their respective hoses with plastic pipe secured to the tank with epoxy (a solution that worked for the corroded/eroded original bronze/copper tailpieces), but have done nothing that reaches inside the tank. I have not seen any postings on replacement of interior riser tubes, so if anyone has experience/images please reply. Thanks, Mike Ondra Aletes SM2000 #240 Manual Jabsco head pump

Re: gel coat Nr. SM 2005
Hi Steve,
I'm not aware of a gelcoat color number scheme and after many years of sun you may not get a perfect match even if you had the original factory color. However you can easily get an excellent match yourself. Here's a link to an excellent DIY site called Boatworks.com. He covers all aspects of repairs, but this link is specifically on how to match colors. https://www.boatworkstoday.com/?s=color+matching I followed his technique and unless I point the repair out, you really can't see it. At 6 knots on a dark night it's even better :-) Craig

Sidepower SP 155 TCi needed
I'm looking for a refurbished SP 155 TCi bow thruster motor.
IMTRA in the U.S. said they only have the new SE170 available. Does anyone on this forum have experience with the SE 170? Is it a seamless replacement or are there changes to consider? In any case I would prefer to stick with a refurbished unit of a SP155TCi. If anyone has an idea where I could find that, please let me know (I already asked in Martinique..)

Re: Prop to Zinc Connection
Stephan Regulinski
Bonjour Olivier, But from prop shaft to zincs on the rudder I got a range of measurements between 2 and 50 Ohms, depending on movement of the propeller. I measured 0.2 Ohms from bonding wire on the C Drive to zincs on the rudder. Any idea why this could occur? Should I do something to correct?

Re: What is this black gasket
Patrick McAneny
Bill , Might the gasket fit over the threaded opening and rest on top of the reservoir and the cap tighten down on top of it ,I see black marks on the bottom of the cap as though it had been in contact with the rubber gasket. Not the typical gasket/cap contact point , but may be. Does the gasket fit over the threaded part of the reservoir ? The diameter looks about right .

I am amazed that you found a US source for these boxes! Thanks for sharing, I have added this information to my Sueno file. I will be in Florida myself pretty soon and will follow up. I agree with what you said about the cooling fins not being needed since our usage is of short duration. Thanks, James SV Sueno Maramu #220
