Now tahat I found out reading Peggy's post that a vented loop isn't necessary when pumping directly to a tank, I think I am going to re-plumb and take about 6 ' of hose out of the loop (no pun intended)

Whoa!! Maybe a good idea...maybe not.
Btw...in case you haven't noticed my location...I'd be glad to personally field test how well your system works. :dance:
No, you don't need a VENTED loop...but maybe a LOOP is a good idea?

The first list is for me to do, (and the hubby to assist with). The second will be with help from the marina. The last item, propshaft coupling screw seizing, I think I could do to, if I could see how it's done. The picture from my surveyor is here: any diagrams/pictures or guidance? All I see are hose clamps....
http://s869.photobucket.com/albums/ab259/odaysundance/?action=view¤t=Propshatcoupling.jpg
TO DO:
Replace hose clamps on cockpit scupper hoses.
Straighten engine water intake hose (crimped - faith's doing during cold December winterizing..)
Double clamp below waterline hoses
Check fuel tank tiedowns
Replace Engine Exhaust Hose
Replace bilge pump. Save old as spare.
Install cleat in anchor locker
THESE ITEMS I NEED ASSISTANCE WITH:
-Port side chainplate - delaminated. (I may be able to glass and fix.)
-Compression post replacement and cabin sole delamination repair.
-Rigging. Tighten and replace starboard side into spreader detente.
-Coupling set screw on propeller shaft coupling needs seizing on screw.

As noted in my post for info on "How To"
will be installing,
Shore power.
New DC panel and most wiring back to batteries.
Above includes a Charge controller.
Gonna have to figure out were the AC panel will be installed, never had shore power.
First will be bottom paint then splashdown in late April or May.
New Larger holding tank, I knew the 9 gal. one i installed 2 years ago was to small but didn't want to do major mods at the time to fit a larger tank and the waste was going overboard with the PO.
Redo of Water tank and all else up to Faucet.
Bug screen set up to drape over Bimini once we are at anchor,if needed.
New Toe rail , i think that's were some of the leaks are coming from.
My guess is i'll be lucky to get the shore power and DC wiring done.

SPRING? why wait? Been working all winter long.
Replace forward holding tank
Replace all forward head hoses
Replace 3 thru hulls valves & hoses (did the actual thru hull in the fall before it got cold)
Replace Edson steering cables
Rebuild some galley cabinetry
Spring will net a bottom touch up & some waxing

"And so it continues." I haven't let up since I started the complete restoration in September. The biggee will be the starboard deck recoreing once the nonskid is reimprinted with gelcoat on the port side. Major restoration, major triumphs, major screwups, major fun and YOT is starting to look real good.

Complete overhaul, I am currently sanding the bottom to the gelcoat and sealing then bottom painting. I have a trip in two weeks in it for a weekend so I need to get it done. Then I will start on the topsides.
Oday 25
Reseat deck and rigging hardware. I have a 5 day trip to Cape San Blas in April and then a 5 week trip to the keys in June so I need to get on it.
Two boats... one bank account.... not easy. I am usually wore slap out!!

we are finally going cruising so we got the EPIRB in, the solar panels up and are ready for the cruising spinnaker which is finally ready for pick up. We also had the lifelines re-done 2 weeks ago...we need a 2nd anchor and chain. Other than that it is just spring cleaning and re-organizing for space optimization since we are now carrying everything we own with us.
In rough order of priority and likelyhood:
Reinstall engine; out for leaking gaskets and oil lines.
but first: Replace cutless bearing while engine is out
but first: Add drip less shaft seal while shaft is out
but first: Clean years of oil scunge from engine sump
replace lifelines (already ordered)
touch up bottom paint
Then maybe: Replace hoses to holding tank/rebuild head
At some point: New line for in-boom outhaul blocks
Really should: Patch threadbare mainsail cover.

Another day, another 10 hours of boat work. Finished the three coats of bottom sealing today. I had to come all the way over the original boot stripe. Some owner in this boats past got lazy and bottom painted all the way up over the boot strip, so I wanted to seal all that area too. I will return it to the original bottom paint area and boot stripe.
Notice the jack stands built into the trailer. I have club members asking to use my trailer to do some bottom work on their boats now. One of our club members put enough HDPE rubrail and the rubber insert in the back of my truck for two boats. He said it has been taking up space in his garage for too many years. Serious score.

not sure if understood your posting but did you say you replaced the ammeter on your Oceanis 352? If so I am faced with a similar problem. Inexplicably my ammeter started going "negative"/ less than 0 when I push the check voltage switch. This started right after cleaning the contacts on the disconnect switches. I have checked the wiriing, all are on the terminal posts correctly.
In your posting it appears you did not simply buy another Beneteau branded ammeter.
May I ask what brand you replaced it with?
My boat is approaching 15,000 nm, lots of nagging problems, some not cheap. Leaking port gaskets the latest. Still sailing with original 98 sails.
Thanks...
