I think it looks just marvelous! But I just wonder doesn't the windows weaken the hull? Since the hull not is constructed for Windows.

When friends of us bought their brand new SM 2k in 2004, they were told, by Amelia, that they could not remove any shelfs or redo anything with the cabinets as they were constructed to stabilize the hull. How has you solved those to very important issues? Regards Annsofie & Jonas S/Y Lady Annila, SM 232 Skickat från min iPad 19 jan 2013 kl. 15:35 skrev "Hanspeter" <hns154@...>:

Re: [Amel] loose gooseneck
Mark Hayden
Hi Joel,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Thanks for the prompt reply. The wiggle appears to be due to looseness in the horizontal bolts that attach the boom to the aluminum piece at the gooseneck. He is proposing taking the boom off, removing the aluminum piece, drilling a somewhat larger hole, and inserting a steel bushing around the bolt to remove the wobble. I would estimate that each of the booms has about 5-10 degrees of freedom to rotate (in the axis along the length of the vessel) because of looseness of the bolt in the aluminum block. Of course, I'm _not_ referring to the two other freedoms of movement that are obviously intended by using an aluminum block and two bolts. I'd be happy to send a picture if this isn't clear. The rigger appears to be knowledgeable and says he has done this kind of operation before. The question I have is: whether the wobble should be there? Should I do anything about it? As you are aware, SV Northfork was once your SM2K demo vessel. In the intervening years it has been not once but twice around the world (we are in Cape Town South Africa about to head across the Atlantic)... so a little wear between the bolt/aluminum is perhaps understandable :). best regards, Mark

Re: Maramu access to forward part of engine
Dear Andy;
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
You can remove the engine without removing the dodger. We did remove our dodger to do maintenance on the gelcoat etc. We replaced the conpanionway door because for that you do need to remove the dodger. Removing the engine cover is easy. If you have access to a winch, or a negative forklift at the dock it will be easy. We eneded up replacing the engine for a Yanmar We´ve thought about that door in the corridor. I think you must buy a watertight door from someone like Vetus etc. Regards, Alex

Maramu access to forward part of engine
Andy Croney
Dear Maramu owners,
We have the original Perkins 4154 engine on our Maramu which has developed a leak , as far as I can tell from a failed gasket - in the forward part of the engine. My question is how to access this area, I can just about squeeze in over the starboard side but that is it. Is there a better way ?? We're even thinking of cutting an access opening from the forward part of the internal corridor ( linking saloon to aft cabin) to the engine room. We are prepapared to lift the engine out to replace gasket and carry out any other maintenance tasks , do we have to remove the hard dodger to lift it out ?? The access hatch would remain if we need to access the forward part of the engine at a later date. Your thoughts, experience and ideas much appreciated. Kindest regards Andy

Re: [Amel] loose gooseneck
amelforme
Always pay attention to a professional rigger until he proves otherwise.
That said, I have had many of them unfamiliar with aspects of Amel stuff get kind of snarky. The dreaded "Not invented here" syndrome. Mark, what part is loose? If there is "slop" in the aluminum piece that takes the vertical and horizontal axis bolts, I would replace it rather than drill things oversize. If the bolts are worn, well, call the Guinness book of World Records. Probably the aluminum piece. It is a simple piece of hard aluminum that should be easy to duplicate if Amel does not have them in stock. I am curious about this and very interested in the outcome so please be sure to share what you find and fix. I have never seen this on SM 53's I have sold that have been all the way around the world. Has anybody else experienced this? The Amel gooseneck is the simplest and strongest approach to this component I have ever seen. All the best, Joel Joel F.

Re: New sails for supermaramu 2k
Mark Hayden
I'll second Miles. In 2011 I was in Fiji realized it was time for new sails. I contacted Doyle in Auckland and they got the design and made new sails (genoa, main, mizzen, and ballooner) without coming near the boat. They have been great for about 10k nm of sailing.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
The only issue was that the bolt ropes didn't extend all the way to the foot of the sails as I believe they did on the original, which causes the foot of the ballooner to flap a little. regards, Mark SM2K 331

Hi Mark,
Main cap shrouds 7mm Main lowers 7mm Forestay and backstay 8mm Mizzen, (very oddly) 5.5mm I used 6mm replacement on the mizzen. I wonder why dyform as the original wire and pin sizes are really well over engineered, perhaps it was to reduce windage and make her sail faster:-) Regards, Graham Sharki No.181 ________________________________ From: sharki41 <hannamj@...> To: amelyachtowners@...

Hi Bill and first of all thank you for patience. The mass problem was in the 24V alternator. the mechanic had removed it to control and probably reassembled incorrectly. I have disassembled and reassembled, and now everything works. Do You think that could be a problem of galvanic current? From which test should I begin in Your opinion? Also, without knowing what kind of meter and what range you have the meter set at, I think a "few" ohms is reasonable to cover meter error and paint or other non-conductive material where you have connected the tester wires.

is the metric(?) chain that was supplied from Amel? Original lenth supplied? I do not see a manufacturer name or model number on the windless or a number for chain size on the drum. I have cleaned up the rust on the chain but do not know if 30 year old chain (if original)can be trusted. Thanks,Ross1989 Maramu #261

There is not enough information here for me to give you an opinion. Did you solve your Mass red light problem that you had earlier? It seems as though you have some issue with the internal ground (bonding system). Also, without knowing what kind of meter and what range you have the meter set at, I think a "few" ohms is reasonable to cover meter error and paint or other non-conductive material where you have connected the tester wires.
