Re: Bow locker floor replacement.....
Beaute Olivier
Hi everybody, the two master pieces made of PVC tube glassed to the hull and deck are the cockpit drains. These pipes are in fact glassed with GRP on their whole outside surface, and then glassed with the hull and deck. No need to mention that they really need to be watertight and resistant to a shock. If you hit them with your hand, you will feel that they are strong. There are other glassed PVC tubes in critical places such as the air vent pipe of the bow-thruster box and the one inside the dorade box of the engine room air exhaust circuit (they need to be watertight). The hawse pipe needs to be watertight too, and there is nothing like a glassing to do it right. However, the hawse pipe surroundings remain a wet area, and the possible damages from a leaking hawse pipe will not be very serious, except that it may bring water into the plywood floor, which will rot in the long run (as you all know). Good luck Thomas. Olivier

Marco UP6/E pump and MASS+ light
Scott SV Tengah
Hi all,
I've been using the Marco UP6/E pump for domestic water for almost 6 months now. I've been quite happy with it. I regularly check the Mass- and Mass+ switch on my A54 to ensure no electrical leaks. This evening, I checked and got a Mass+ light, clear and bright. Luckily, I was able to quickly isolate it by turning off the freshwater water pump on the 24v circuit breaker panel. The only way I could get rid of the Mass+ light was remove the bonding wire from the pump body. Do you know what may cause the Marco pump to all of the sudden create continuity between + and the pump body?
I had a small leak from the watermaker hoses so some salt water got on the Marco pump, but could that cause a short somewhere and cause the pump body to be + energized?
As an aside, had some issues with the smart sensor positive lead (between smart pressure sensor and pump itself) keeping the Amel 24v panel freshwater pump light on permanently. We couldn't figure it out so I just moved on and dealt with the 24v panel freshwater pump light being on all the time. Has anyone else using the Marco pumps figured out how to wire this so the Amel 24v panel light only comes on when the pump is being operated? Also, to test to see if this was causing the Mass+ fault, I cut the wire. The 24v panel freshwater pump light obviously is no longer on, but the Mass+ light remained. Any thoughts on the Mass+ light or getting the Amel 24V panel freshwater pump light to work properly with this pump would be appreciated! -Scott A54 #69 Tengah

Re: Outhaul shaft removal
Danny and Yvonne SIMMS
Hi Eric, I would never suggest you were a big man with a big hammer as I described in my very valid warning. I described the man and hammer provided by the Shelter Bay Marina yard against my wishes. However your move from a small big hammer to a full size sledge hammer would indicate an element of vigorous action as does the word "pounding". Not quite the delicate touch of a jeweler. A gas torch is a very effective and non damaging method of freeing resistant articles, as is heating in an oven. However the boom would not fit in an oven. Gas torches used for this work have a very broad flame and the heat used would not affect the hardening of the gears Anyway in my case I had stripped the gearbox of most of its components. Kind Regards Danny

Re: Hawse Pipe Replacement
Danny and Yvonne SIMMS
Yes Dan it most certainly does. I had to remove my windlass at one stage and that bolt sheered off. I put the windlass back in place (temporarily) without that bolt and it very noticeably flexed the deck in use. I drilled the stud out and replaced it with a through bolt. That flange is essential.

Re: Outhaul shaft removal
eric freedman
Being a big man with a big hammer,it really depends on what you hit with the hammer and how much force you use with the hammer. After supporting the boom upside down I gently used the Big Hammer on just the bolt sticking out from the shaft. By using the weight of the hammer and GENTLY tapping the bolt, the shaft came out easily, Remember I was an engineer and then a jeweler for over 40 years-, I am used to working on things with a very gentle touch. bringing the boom to a shop with a press is essentially doing the same thing as I did with the hammer, However I would never use a torch on the gearbox.

Re: Bow locker floor replacement.....
Hi Tom,
Does your hawse pipe run vertically or is it slanted like mine on my Santorin? On mine a standard 90° flange wouldn't work. Also, even with an access door, working on the underside of the bow locker floor is brutal - why not just put it on top, or, easier yet, just caulk (or glass in a fillet) on the top of the floor?

Re: Hawse Pipe Replacement
Dan Wilcox
Hearing how the bolt went through a tab on the pipe, could the explanation be that the galvanized pipe provide extra rigidity to reduce the deck from flexing when the windless was pulling up an anchor? Thanks, Dan Feierabend SM#86

Gary, On my Santorin the original pipe didn't have a tab on top. The pipe end was cut at an angle to be flush with the underside of the deck and simply glassed to the bottom of the deck with a fillet. It was, indeed, just stubbed about an inch below the deck locker floor with a glass filtet on top of the floor to seal it - nothing on the underside. Flanges will be really tricky because (on the Santorin) the pipe angles forward toward the bow as it goes down from the windlass so you'd have to get the flange angles just right. I should think just fiberglass fillets top and bottom, like Amel's original would do the trick. I plugged up the hawse hole and top of the pipe with some rags inside some plastic wrap to keep resin and filet material from seeping down the inside of the pipe. Craig Briggs, SN68 Sangaris

Re: Forward head faucet
seagasm <seagasm@...>
Arlo, most items these days are generally available from hardware outlets for example, https://www.bunnings.com.au/kinetic-chrome-handspray_p4790532 here in Australia and New Zealand. An identical mixer is also available, I think I purchased mine for about $32.00.

Re: Hawse Pipe Replacement

The Tab at the top of my galvanized hawse pipe had one of the windlass bolts thru it and encased in fiberglass before it rusted away. I still have to replace the pipe and some of the floor.

Re: Forward head faucet
The brand is Grohe – I seriously doubt if the same model would still be available that was used on the SM. The home industry changes models and styles frequently. The closest they have to day would be Grohtherm 1000. Perhaps the European sites had different models.
With best regards,
