Zinc Anodes & Copper Bonding Strap Replacement in the Grey Water Bilge of your Amel SM.

#Amelyacht #DIY #sailinglife #sailboat #boatlife #sailingboat #sailingyacht #boatrepair #boatmaintenance #bondingstrap #bilgeclean #zincanode #boatzinc #boatdiy Amels have many unique design features which makes many DIY repair and replacement jobs 'unique' as well and attaching the bonding strap to the bottom of the grey water bilge probably wasn't Henry Amel's greatest idea. Replacing the copper bonding strap and zinc anodes sounds an easy enough maintenance job, but to reach the bolt which attaches the strap to the keel, the grey water bilge needs to be cleaned out first! This is one of the filthiest job on an Amel and I even had to custom make most of the tools myself. I'm just thankful I brought my cordless power tools onboard! If you're a professional, expert or even an old salty sea dog with some good advice on electrical bonding systems or anodes on a sailboat, then please leave any constructive criticism, insight and advice in the comments below the videos.
