Re: AMEL 54 main furler

First check the simple things: I assume you are having an issue with the furling motor/gearbox and not the outhaul motor/gearbox. Loosen the 4 bolts on the furling motor/gearbox, lower the unit enough to disengage the main foil fr the motor/gearbox, then test the manual furler with a winch handle. If it works, you've eliminated a sail jam. Next try the furler motor while disconnected. Take a rubber mallet a rap the gearbox sharply. If either of these work, call Willie and tell him you probably need new brushes in the motor. You may have spares... check my Amel Book for changing brushes. It is possible that the large solenoid has failed, but I have yet to actually see this happen. Get back to me. Best, CW Bill Rouse 720 Winnie St Galveston Island, TX 77550 +1(832) 380-4970
