Exactly the same here (Azimut 50) as Phil's 55 ..... hope you're keeping well Phil BTW.

+1 for Dud too - great guy and great service

Many thanks everyone for your help and I'm glad to hear this is not normal as wasn't sure if there was supposed to be a determined resistance for some reason. Some of the bonding terminals are corroded so will replace these plus the wiring next week and hopefully that'll then resolve these...

Hi All, I'm just trying to track down a couple of electrical gremlins and have just measured a resistance of ~50ohms between the 24V DC battery negative and the anode/metal bonding circuit (on an Azimut 50, 24VDC). Is this normal? Something tells me it's not. thanks for any help.

Interesting and good to hear, as the canister of glue I have just bought is an 'airless spray adhesive delivery system with minimal overspray' Ref the 4 days per cabin - I can imagine that as I've spent about 2 days just doing the dismantling in the hallway to get the to the wall coverings...

Hi - thanks everyone for the replies. I've done further research etc since I first posted this and have since bought a canister of contact adhesive...plus a spray gun (and mask!). I've also conducted a few trials with different techniques with regards to the adhesive applying and the way in...

Probably good advice..... but I can't help myself and generally want to fix stuff myself :)

Thanks sogood! The material type is said to be a synthetic material with the qualities of leather (with a 3mm foam backing). Interesting point ref spraying twice on both material and wall and I'll consider that further - also with using markers/masking to help with alignment. My biggest...

Hi VicS - thanks for the info. I've previously bought the Hawkehouse adhesive and used this on my first attempt last year on one wall although bubbles re-appeared which is why I think I might get better spray coverage with a canister - also the uneven pressure I obviously applied to that one...

Thanks petem - interesting as I'd never heard of 'scrim' until a couple of days ago, but makes total sense. My wall coverings (existing and what I've got new on a roll) don't have this although the material info sheet says it has 'foam/tricot'. Looking at it though it looks like normal foam...

Hi – Happy New Year to you all! I’m currently in the process of removing the old foam-backed internal wall coverings from the boat where they’ve become unstuck in places after 10 years. This I understand is due to a particular eco-adhesive Azimut were using at the time (circa 2006) that lets...

Hi MapisM - thanks for the advice :) They're 669hp Acerts

Hi All, 3 times now recently whilst running at about 2000rpm the starboard motor has lost power/revs (down to about 1000rpm) for 2 to 3 seconds, and then picked back up and continued as normal for the rest of the journey. 3 times on the last 3 trips. It’s happened both on the flybridge and...

No I don't think so - ah......but actually maybe could have been as our boat may have been on a charter and I don't skipper on charters. I saw Rafiki on her berth as I drove past on the tender with the kids one day. We're based at Port Solent but usually hang around Swanwick for a few weeks in...

Shame you can't join us as would have been great to meet you......but hopefully another time if this turns into a more regular thing! I think I saw Rafiki back in the Hamble a couple of months back - is that right?
