Re: AMEL 54 main furler
Bill,
Final outcome:
A loose spade connection under AMEL dash board near the switch. Everything else is fine. I guess the rocking & rolling yday caused this but I believe this connection was handled by Willie last year when they put in the new dash board.
Anyhow – all good to go for leaving tomorrow morning to VAUATU.
Also thanks for the feedback from Arno and Ian.

Hi Bill,
Willie on board. Switch is good.
I didn’t know that next to the white Velcro panel where there are 2 heat breakers when you open the closet door there is at the top a wooden panel which is held by 1 screw. When removing it gives access to 1 main furler (brake) relay and 2 solenoids. See pic.
Willie is testing now.

Bill,
I knew of these 2 boxes but was not aware they were the solenoids; I thought they were resistance breakers.
I will have it checked by Willie this morning. From everything it sounds the bushes might be likely the issue as it furls in no problem; when the motor released from the furler we can hand crank easily.
Will let you know the outcome today.
Thanks for the help.

Teun,
Furling solenoid is behind the Velcro'd panel just inside the forward watertight door near the ceiling, or behind the Velcro'd panel in the forward port side berth. I don't think this is the problem, but Willie should check it and the helm mounted toggle switch. Best,
