Hi again Nicolas, one more comment. I never use the watermaker in harbours (unless large and clean) or marinas for good reason and if I spend a week or two in that situation rain collection is a big h

Hi Nicolas, glad to help. I made a rain catcher tarpaulin with a shape to the center and a funnel shape to attach a hose to and ran the hose to the tank filler. I tied it to the shrouds. In the tropic

The Shore Power Ground Fault Interrupt is much more sensitive than the GFI main breaker on your SM. And the dishwasher will heat water until it gets hot enough to open small cracks in the heating elem

Thank you for reply. But heater is heating when running 220V from generator. regards, slavko

This is a very common issue. The water heating element needs replacing and as far as I know, there are none available. Another owner stated he was going to have one made in Hong Kong where his SM is l

The Ocean Chef 3 fits superbly in an early SM and offers 3 burners instead of 2. The old saw applies…. You get what you pay for! Buy one on the last day of a boat show; bet you’ll get a discount. Good
