Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] 1985 Sharki electric roller furler
john martin <symoondog@...>
I use a smaller diameter line to fit into the grove of the drum. it's about100 ft. long,and I mark the middle of it. I place the line on the drum, crisscross the lines behind the drum and go through the forward pole blocks and back to the cockpit. If you keep tension on the loose end,you can use the winch to reef the sail or roll it up. It works the same as a continous line reefer system. John Moondog SM 248 PS as Steve says, don't forget to release the motor pin.

Registering a Mango in Guernsey
Roger Banks <roger.banks@...>
Hi, Has anyone registered their Mango in Guernsey? Under the Oslo
Convention, which for some reason only Guernsey in that locality adopts, the tonnage survey is complex. The Amel plans I received on buying the boat don't give enough measurements. I've been asked by the surveyor for a Design lines and sections plan, and the structural sections and structural profiles. Otherwise it will cost another £1000 to have a surveyor measure them physically. Has anyone been here before? Regards, Roger, Zorba, Mango 28

bowthruster
bobparry1947 <bob@...>
Last November, we left the bowthruster UP with the pin in place but,
being new to the setup, we did not relieve the mechanism. This year, we let the motor down but cannot electrically raise it again. When the thruster went down, the light and buzzer that indicates this did not come on. When we try to raise the thruster, the light and buzzer indicate that it is up, although this is not the case. Also, there is no latteral movement. It is as though the thruster has decided it is up and that is that. We have manually raised it and pinned it in the up position.Last November, we left the bowthruster UP with the pin in place but, being new to the setup, we did not relieve the mechanism.

Sharki electric roller furler motor for sale
I have a working Sharki electric roller furler motor (in housing) for
sale for $250 plus shipping. It is not the original (Sharki was 1985 model) but a unit bought in the early 90s. I have a spare (never used) fiberglass motor furler housing that I'll include. Richard Tate SM #5 "Spice"

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] 1985 Sharki electric roller furler
Steve Leeds
Use a spare sheet -- run it from the line drum on the anchor windlass to the pulley at the bottom of the Genoa foil. Release the foil from the motor drive by moving the little lever on the port side of the furler gearbox to a horizontal or lower position (if there is strain on the furler it will be very hard to move). Keep your body parts away from the furler when you release the lever. Ease the strain on the Genoa by heading into the wind or (better) falling off and blanketing the Genoa with the mainsail. Furl the Genoa using the anchor windlass.
I understand you can use the Genoa winches in the cockpit to furl the sail, guiding the line using the balooner pole blocks on the toerail, but I have never tried that procedure.

The Nicoll 100 vents may also be purchased directly from the manufacturer. They can be contacted at: www.nicoll.fr info@nicoll.fr The particular model number for the vents on our Maramu is FB111, which has a screen on it and closable louvers. I bought five vents in 2001 which cost 346 francs including delivery to California. I ordered the vents via email and paid via credit card. Dave Wallace s/v Air Ops Amel Maramu #104

Re: Help please !!! Painting Deck ??
Szabó Géza
Dear Jochen,
I just rejoined the group so I missed the posts made before. I hade the same problems on the non-skid of my amel euros. I decided to remove the old nonskid, then painted the deck and then used TBS non- skid material. It was 3 years ago, so far no problems and satisfied. You can see some pics at http://www.rotorman.hu/index.php?page_name=rotor_fotoalbum (note: some pics made before painting). If you need more info about the process let me know.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] pressure water system pump
sailmc@...
If it is a Shurflo pump, they sometimes have an internal check valve that
can become plugged with the results that you describe. They can be disassembled and cleaned.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] pressure water system pump
svmalaika@...
First thing to check is the "polarity" of your electrical connection. The
pump may be running backwards! The way the internal wires in the pressure switch box are connected can vary between pumps, so the external connection from the old pump is not a reliable guide. Happened to me! Regarding the old pump, you should try lubricating and moving the pressure sensing arms and springs. Also, you can adjust the start and stop pressures to get the range you want by loosening or tightening the adjustment nuts. Takes a bit of time, but is not difficult. Charlie MALAIKA II, SM 336

pressure water system pump
Randy Kilmon <drifter01us@...>
Any helpful suggestions on this problem would be
greatly appreciated: When commissioning my boat this spring, I could not get the pressure water pump to turn off once it reached the proper pressure. As this was the original pump assembly, and as I had a complete spare assembly, I decided to simply swap out the old one and replace it (although I was pretty sure the problem was with the pressure switch). On the new installation, the motor runs fine, the impeller is spinning, but the system will not develop pressure. As the instructions say, I filled the pump with water before activating. However, I can take the outlet hose off the assembly when the pump is running, and there is no pressure. I can see the water down in the pump but it is not moving (even though the impeller is spinning) Very strange!! Any help greatly appreciated.

Painting Decks
rbenven44 <no_reply@...>
I just re-read Jochen's posting about renewing the "white non-skid deck
areas" and understand that he meant the cabin top, not the stripes on the deck. So sorry about the previous posting. I had a 1983 Maramu, and to reduce the heat in the back cabin, I had the deck surface over the back cabin painted. It was originally the same color as the decks (teak with dark brown stripes), and I had Awlgrip paint applied, the same color as the cabin sides (ivory). The key was to apply several VERY THIN coats of paint, in order to preserve the non-skid properties of the deck surface. We were very pleased with the results. The boat was sold a couple of years later (in 1996), and is now called RESOLUTE. The current owners read this forum, so you may ask them how well it's holding up after 9 years. Please e-mail me if you have any questions about what we did. I also have pictures (non-digital) that I could scan in or mail to you. Regards, Roy

The process would also apply to the white stripes that were used on a few boats in the '80s. Look up a posting by Harmonie, they did a beautiful job. I'm going to try that approach next fall. I have the "Striper" tool and the paint, all I need is time (about 9 - 10 days, 4 hours a day, I'm told), in a nice quiet anchorage or cheap marina. Hope you find the posting (I remember it was about 2 years ago...) Regards, Roy

Bow Thruster Propeller Replacement
fruehaufp <fruehaufps@...>
To all,
I sheared off my prop in the Welland Canal last Saturday. A piece of discarded line wound around the prop. I was able to replace it using a mask and snorkel. I also have an underwater light which was helpful in lining up the screws. I wore my wetsuit without weights that helped me float on the water. Lake Erie is still pretty cold. We are in Buffalo visiting family and friends. We will be heading west next week. What is the replacement kit that I saw mentioned in other notes on this subject? If you plan to go through canal locks make sure your boat is well protected. On the way up in some locks the boat was pressed against the wall very hard. I had boat hooks to fend off but the force was more than I could overcome. I had bags of straw, regular fenders and four by fours (mounted vertically) on the rail. Best regards, Paul S. Fruehauf - SM 215 - Faraway Eyes
