I am getting ready to renew my C.G. documentation and I want to correct the stated tonnage ,which is wrong and overstated. While in the Caribbean this year we overcharged upon entry based on the tonnage . My gross is shown to be 58GRT and net is shown to be 46NRT. Could someone tell me the correct numbers for a SM registered in the US. This is the second time down there and have probably paid well over a hundred more than we should have,I should have taken care of this years ago. Once we were with another SM checking in to BVI and we paid significantly more to customs, because they had much lower tonnage.
Thanks,
Pat

Re: Furling motor brushes
Thanks Mark and Kelly for confirming.
James,
The SPR-A007 brush fit perfectly in both my main furler motor and outhaul motor. The link on the Eurton website says "A005" in the hyperlink for some reason but the correct part number is SPR-A007.

Re: Furling motor brushes
James-- the part number is SPR-A007. The Eurton website has an incorrect URL, which is why I used a hyperlink in my initial email. If you click on the link, you'll see that the page is for the 007 brush.

Thanks Kelly and Ryan for the information! These worked perfectly in our Leroy Somer MBT86M Main Furler and Outhaul motors. Our main furler stopped working under any load at the end of last season. It would spin freely when not loaded and I was able to easily furl and unfurl the mainsail manually so I figured it was likely worn brushes and/or a dirty armature. Sure enough, it was both. I replaced the brushes and cleaned the armature and they both work great. Here is a direct link to the place I bought them: https://store.eurtonelectric.com/31x31x6brushspr-a005-1-1-1.aspxAnd here are some pictures of the brushes: New brush on the left and old brush on right: <IMG_20190609_130915759.jpg><IMG_20190609_130529854.jpg><IMG_20190609_130533911.jpg><IMG_20190609_130535656.jpg>
They really are a perfect fit and they are even cheaper when you buy 11 or more so I stocked up. Thanks again for the information. I love this group!

Re: Battery temp monitor and alarm
I am curious about the loudness of the alarm. I have the model that Bill posted, and mounted down by the battery switches. The alarm is not very loud and I think would not be noticed while motoring. We observe frequently but a loud alarm would be good.

Re: Standing rigging on 54
Good morning Barry;
We will be in Gouvia marina. Nicky is only flying to Corfu and figuring the time required to complete the work that we have laid out for him. If you think you will need some work done, it would be best to contact Nicky directly so he can figure the time
required for the items you have also and book his flights accordingly. This is high season for him and he is very busy so the sooner you can let him know, the better.
Respectfully;

Hello Porter;
I hope you guys are doing well and the engine issues are now behind you.
We are replacing all 6 shrouds at the main because ACMO had a crack in one of the original long shrouds that we found in our rig inspection last year.
They did extend a 10% discount because of this so the total shipped to Corfu was 5000 euros.
Off course you only need to upgrade the mid and lower shrouds so your pricing will be less. I did receive a complete quote for all rigging that I will forward to you shortly.
I, like you, try to do everything I can myself, which is about 90%. It’s better to make a mistake and learn while help is available. However, the cruising season in the Med is short so I do elect to use known outside people if necessary so we get to enjoy the
season.
The rigging is definitely one of them, at this point, for us. So I’m flying Ricky from Malta to Corfu for 2 days to take care of the shrouds and some lighting and wind cane issues.

Re: Water tank overfill, companionway ladder, galley sink drain hose
karkauai
Hi Eric, Where the companionway door slides down into the slot behind the companionway ladder, the bottom of that compartment rotted and fell out. The drain hole was clogged and water sat, never enough water to give me a hint that anything was wrong.
Turns out that the ladder is easy to remove, two screws on each side at floor level where the bottom of the ladder fits into mortises, and three screws that hold the aft of the ladder to the box that houses the dropped door. And the handrail. The new piece I’m adding at the bottom will be well-treated with epoxy sealer and will slope from both sides to the middle where a drain will be placed that feeds into the hose that drains the galley fridge.
I’ll post pics of the project when I’m done. Kent Robertson S/V Kristy SM 243 USA cell: 828-234-6819

My Santorin does not have that line fitted. I will check on the lever on the pump. It sounds like a good idea to fit one and put a dash of red paint on it too.
On another topic - do you still have the fuel dipstick? I can only fill my fuel tank up to the 360 litre mark. I can see the diesel in the neck of the filler pipe so I know it must be full. I just wonder if Henri designed it to have a 40 litre reserve.....
Best wishes. Just out of the Caledonian canal en route to the Baltic. Lots of ran here.

Re: TMD22 Emergency Shutoff
Go ahead and test it. It's best to do this as you enter a narrow harbor. Sea state adds to the "pucker" factor. I did this test once unintentionally.

So once I’ve used 350 litres do I have 10 litres left or 50? It’s the original stick too. So I was just asking other Santorin owners whether they register a 400 reading when the tank is full?

Re: Am I the only one so stupid?
Hi Oliver,
We have been told to always put the fresh water dipstick down after the tank has been filled. Should it get damaged or broken entering or leaving the boat it is a very big problem. No first hand experience but the person that related the information is very knowledgeable concerning Amel's.

I have two of the original fresh water pumps that I am not using. We have gone to an on-demand pump. They both functioned last time I tested them, but I don’t know what shape they are in now.. I believe both could be resurrected, or at least be a good source of parts.
if anyone wants them, I’m happy to give them to you for the cost of shipping.
Please contact me privately if you are interested.

"Nicky" from Malta is what you meant to say. I always recommend Nicky Samut in Malta for any Med rigging issues. I suspect that Nicky has a lot of air miles. During the winter season he will be in Sicily at least 2 weeks working on rigging.
He has also upgraded Bamar furlers. And, Nicky is a Yacht School Preferred Vendor, the only rigger in Europe selected as a rigging Preferred Vendor.
Contact: nickysail"at" hotmail.com. BTW, Nicky has sailed/crewed on most all Amel models, including a 64.

I had a few cracked wires at the main too (#117). I reported this fact to ACMO in november 2018.
Would you care to tell when you informed ACMO about this failure? Was it last year?
Thank you for you input.

Hello Porter;
I hope you guys are doing well and the engine issues are now behind you.
We are replacing all 6 shrouds at the main because ACMO had a crack in one of the original long shrouds that we found in our rig inspection last year.
They did extend a 10% discount because of this so the total shipped to Corfu was 5000 euros.
Off course you only need to upgrade the mid and lower shrouds so your pricing will be less. I did receive a complete quote for all rigging that I will forward to you shortly.
I, like you, try to do everything I can myself, which is about 90%. It’s better to make a mistake and learn while help is available. However, the cruising season in the Med is short so I do elect to use known outside people if necessary so we get to enjoy the
season.
The rigging is definitely one of them, at this point, for us. So I’m flying Ricky from Malta to Corfu for 2 days to take care of the shrouds and some lighting and wind cane issues.
Enjoy Tahiti. We chartered there in 2008 and had a great time.
