Patches below waterline
Martin. For what it’s worth, we had exactly the same looking patches, and it was indeed anti fouling that had flaked off and then been repainted over. Looked precisely the same as yours. Porter A54-15

ER lining
Precisely my same conclusion Paul. Perhaps a small/flush backing plate if the locker is violated. That’s the best solution as the foam is moderately deformed from gravity, re-glueing is an auto of fru

Fiji Boat Yards
Mark I’d differ just a bit. I’d do a Haulout and bottom work in Fiji. Likely that’s on the list. I found the Fijian bottom work superior to the Opua bottom work. Both Denarau and Vuda quite reasonable

Raising the waterline on an Amel that lists to one side?
Scott. A question and your thoughts if you would. I imagine the port side list also fully submerges the engine exhaust, generator exhaust and raw bilge water exit. Does that generate any concerns rega

totally destroyed chain link
Interesting link to that research Nick. A pearl which I never knew: Force (in kg force) = (1/500) x (LOA in metres squared) x (wind speed in knots squared). Happy thanksgiving to those who celebrate!

Windlass cone lubrification yes or no?
Dennis. See below. Don’t use the Corrosion X oil, use this instead if you want the thick lubricity of a grease and the corrosion protection of Corrosion X. It’s worked great for us. W. Porter McRobert

Water flow in the toilet bowl
Take the valve apart. Usually an easy clean and relubrication with silicone grease. Will commonly work for many more years. A54-152 W. Porter McRoberts +1 754 265 2206

A curious leak …
On our 54 its the ball valve for the port side Aircond drain that gets clogged and then the tray overfills. Fresh water. Not sure if the SM is similar. S.V IBIS A54-152
