Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Noisy outhaul drive on main boom
eric freedman
Roy,
The winch is mounted to the boom. It does not come off with the shaft. Just remove the nut on the top of the arm which is attached to the shaft on top of the winch, and pound away with a sledge. You might bend a bolt or two as s/s is a little soft for hammering. Make sure you have a long bolt for this hammering.

Faux teak
John and Anne on Bali Hai <hollamby@...>
This subject has come up before. Go to the bottom of the page and type
in faux teak and hit search to see all the postings. As an alternative get an estimate for covering with TEK-DEK which is a sort of cork planking. Probably costly but would look good and would keep the deck from getting so hot in the tropics. Regards, Anne and John

discoloration of the "fake teak" decking
mike_ondra <mondra@...>
We are in the process of purchasing a 1999 SM. The "fake teak"
decking in the bow area show discoloration, spotty lightening of the color. How colorfast is this material and is there a color restoration technique other than painting?

SM 2000 Year 2003, # 396 is now for sale.
Göran Svensson
This is an opportunity to obtain a very well maintained `as new' SM,
very little used with low engine hours. It has only been sailed across the Atlantic directly after delivery in 2003 and after that used by us for about 2 months total during winter and spring 2004 and 2005.In the hurricane season the yacht has been stored in a protected boat yard. The list of optional equipment is very extensive. Location: Bradenton, Florida. Asked price $ 595.000 (European VAT not paid) Don't hesitate to ask for specifications and photos. Kind regards Göran Svensson

Just to report that Amel have now put something on their web site
www.amel.fr It includes a 5 minute 20 second video but forget that unless you are on broadband as the download would take forever on a dial up connection. Overall it is much less detailed than the old SM 2000 site. Sail on, Anne and John Bali Hai SM 317

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Noisy outhaul drive on main boom

Graham,
I removed the shaft by placing a long steel bolt in the threaded hole in the bottom of the shaft and driving it up with a heavy sledge hammer. A regular hammer or mallet will not work.

Re: Stern bumper
Graham Boyd
I fitted a new bumper to my SM in Jan this year and when it arrived
from Amel I didn't think that the covering was the same as the old. In practice it has been absolutely fine but bear in mind the boat is in Scotland and one of the few weather problems that we don't have here is very strong sun!

Stern bumper
Willem J. Kroes <willem.j.kroes@...>
Has anyone also had a bad experience with a relatively new stern
bumper? I bought from the Amel yard in april 2004 a new bumper and within a few months the cover material showed some scars and this summer the cover material started peeling off. I contacted Amel on this issue and they offered me a new one for half the price. Because I think that the problem is the bad quality of the cover material - which is definately not the same material as used on the original bumper that lasted for more than 10 year - I hesitate to accept this offer (which in fact I judge not to be generous at all, if the problem is a an inferior product that was sold). This summer I met an other Amel Santorin in Sardinia with a relatively new bumper that also shows cover material peeling off. So my question is are there more owners of Amel boats with recent bumpers showing peeling off of the cover material? Willem J. Kroes Amel Santorin "Kavanga" Arbatax, Sardinia

Replacement for KIRK Navigation Lights
RFC000 <rfc000@...>
I have to replace the navigation lights (the external part with the green glass and the transparent glass for the rear one) and I would very much like to find replacement identical to the original parts which I have been using so far.
I asked the chantier but didn't get any answer. Does anybody in the club know where I can find these parts or have any useful suggestion? Thank you so much. Rosario F. Cimmino Kirk "Melinou"

Chain Counter
mcymabm <mcymabm@...>
Hi Alain,...who answered me a long time ago, while I was at sea
Thank you for your advice. I actually have done that…..not quite match with an AMEL boat!! But I find much more convenient and secure to be able to manoeuvre the windlass from the cockpit because I can help with the engine in order not to pull too much on it. Since, I persevere in my search of a solution. It happens that the first Super Maramu which turned on in Panama after me also had a problem with its chain counter( quality confirmed) and nevertheless the AMEL refusal to help, we managed with a professional electronician to make one with two …or nearly. On getting the anchor back on board, the counting of the "ten" figure works well but the unit figure goes wrong ; e.g. 40,41…49,30,31, ….39,20 and so on. Does anybody know the solution to that?
