Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: flexible rubber coupling
Danny and Yvonne SIMMS
Hi Bob, I have not heard that. I have never had a failure in nearly 8 years. I tighten them to the normal tension for a bolt that size. I am sure, given the loads on this coupling, too loose would allow movement which would lead to wear and failure. Do check the rubber bushes periodically, they do wear out over time.

SM2k A/C drain clogged
yahoogroups@...
This is a "heads-up" to SM2k owners. BeBe #387 had the condensation drain clog up for the Salon AC. I did not notice it until about 10 gallons of water was found in the area under the aft settee fridge/freezer, the aft floor compartment under the dining table, the floor compartment in the galley and under the galley sink. Did I say that it is hot and humid in Trinidad? After using a wet vacuum to remove all of the water, I removed and checked the drain hose from the Climma Compact 9. It was obviously blocked. I connected another piece of hose to the drain hose, then connected that hose to my dinghy pump and blew out the clog. I believe that the AC drain hose runs to a connection below the clothes washer, but not sure, as I did not remove the clothes washer. I then ran vinegar, then water through the drain hose and checked to see if water was visible draining into the gray water sump...it was. I should have been warned because I have a water alarm beneath the galley sink. It is powered by a 9VDC battery that will beep when the battery is low. I assume that low battery beeping happened while we were off the boat for 6 weeks. Oh, well, thoroughly cleaning those compartments were on my list of things to do. Now, our cockpit is full of things, drying out, that were originally stored in those compartments. Most of the wet stuff is dive equipment including BCD, wetsuit, etc. I am happy that this was freshwater and not saltwater. Best, Bill BeBe 387

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Bilge / Sump pump

Hi Pat, I have wondered about that as a solution too. They are much lower cost. I wonder if they could handle the bits and pieces. If there was an electric version of the manual pump that would be my choice for obvious reasons, ie it is so trouble free. Danny SM 299 Ocean Pearl

Try taking the suction pipe off the pump. Is it full? If not, fill it and see if it stays full. Of course if its not full the foot valve is leaking. The fill and watch will just confirm this.
I have the original pump. If the foot valve is working ie no leak allowing the water in the suction to go down at all, the pump is always full. I struggled trying to fix things at the pump. Now at last I have a foot valve that works and the pump does too. One thing I did was shorten the suction to get it higher above the sediment that gets into the sump and my problems have been much le
ss since. Foot valves don't like bits of stuff stuck it them when they try to close.
However I wish it would self prime like the manual one does. It doesn't even have a foot valve and yet primes perfectly every time and it cheerfully pumps all the muck from the bottom.

Hello all,

This is a follow up to an older thread about the peculiarities of the windlass power switch on older Super Maramus—or at least on our boat. Here is a link to the final resolution I implemented on Harmonie. I mentioned on that page, but I’ll do it here again, this is NOT applicable to newer boats where Joel assures me the switches work as I wished they had on ours.

Bill, Thanks for your input, and see your point about fouling a submersible . I was thinking that as well and was only wondered out loud if anyone had tried it with success. We stopped by your boat during the show, your boat was open , but you weren't there. We were looking for Joel and the 54 he was showing, sorry we missed you.

Using a submersible for routine service in the Amel bilge would NOT be a good idea. What we call our “bilge" really is not a bilge in the traditional sense of the word. It is actually a grey water sump. Submersible centrifugal pumps would foul and fail in very short order. Submersible pumps can also cause all kinds of stray current problems that you really don’t want to deal with the consequences of. This would be one of those changes from the original Amel design you should just say “No” to.
It is very hard to find a 24 volt pump that is as suited to this service as the original that Amel selected. If you can find one it would be best. Really.
But if you can’t, there are good options...
There are only a few kinds of pumps available that will work as a grey water discharge pump on an Amel. Diaphragm pumps (like the original); some kinds of piston pumps; and possibly some flexible impeller pumps.
I worry that a flexible impeller pump would have trouble with the self-priming at the depth of the well, so I hesitate to recommend them.
Diaphragm pumps are good at pumping “dirty water”, but you need one that is very well designed to work for very long. Most mass-market marine pumps of this sort are designed for very infrequent service as shower sump pumps, and they are even short lived at that. Amel's pump is first-rate and has a long lasting diaphragm and check valves. There are others, like the line of pumps made by Bosworth that that seem very well made, but I have no experience with, and can’t comment on longevity.
One pump that would work well in this service is the T-series discharge pump by Sealand. They are robust, long lived, easy to care for, excellent at self-priming, no foot valve would be needed. This is a piston type pump, without the rubber diaphragm. Maintenance consists of changing check valves about every 6 months. These are made as raw sewage pumps. If a “chunk” can fit up the hose, they will pump it through. They can handle the “gunk”. BUT… the downside is they have lower capacity than the Amel original, and so will run longer on each discharge cycle.
Sealand also makes an “M” series pump of the same design, except with a bronze body that is much larger and has at least the capacity of the Amel original. Check hose sizes and space for this one to see if it is practical replacement.
I don’t have any interest in Sealand pumps, other than using one daily as a pump for un-macerated raw sewage for ten years with only routine maintenance. It just worked.
I have the good fortune that my boat came with a complete working spare of the original pump. Hopefully I can keep the original running for a long time yet.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] 30 Amp 125 volt shore power to 50 Amp 125/250 Volt plug?
Alexandre Uster von Baar
Good morning Bill,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
First thanks for looking out for me !!! I am probably not explaining myself correctly… I have 2 shore powers. If the marina has 250 Volt then I use my regular shore power. If the marina only has only 110 volt, then I plan on using the Amel originally installed transformer. What Marinco (who makes shore power cable, plug, etc.) saying is that if the marina has split phase, I could use a Y with 2 x 30 amp 125 Volt going to 1 50 Amp 125/250 Volt to provide me with my 220 volt (again not going through the transformer). I would not make the Y myself, I would purchase one already made. I know about the frequency, as I mentioned I only use my washing machine, scuba compressor, etc. with the genset. You raised a good point: may be they don’t have that female 125/250 50 Amp, so I am going to look for one locally. Sincerely, Alexandre --------------------------------------------

To: "amelyachtowners@..." <amelyachtowners@...> Date: Tuesday, October 18, 2016, 6:34 AM Alex, I am not an electrician, and do not want to be your electrician via email. The reason is that you may rely on something that I say and I might be wrong. But, I will make these comments as long as you recognize the above statement. Unfortunately, it is difficult to make the following short, because I feel I should make these comments as clear as possible. I believe that what the transformer company is saying when they say "IF” the marina has a Split Phase," is that If the marina 110-125VAC 60htz shore power connections that derive their power from "1 leg or phase" of a 220-250VAC 60htz connection, it will work. However, this does not tell you how to make the connection. And, what I do not know is what it will take to make it work without making assumptions. And, I do not know if the transformer is is designed to take different inputs and still output 220-250VAC60htz. So, from this point forward, I am assuming (guessing) that your tranformer requires 220-250VAC input. I might be wrong on that assumption and if I am, almost everything that follows is WRONG. Europe and the US have Single Phase 220-250VAC power. Europe delivers this power to the user in three wires including earth. The wires are 220-250VAC (hot) (brown), Return or Neutral (neutral) (blue) and earth. The US "SPLITS THE 220-250VAC into 2 legs or 2 Phase and deliver the power with 4 wires including earth. The wires are 110-125VAC (hot) (red), 110-125VAC (hot) (black), Return or Neutral (neutral) (white) and earth. Many 220-250VAC devices will work with 50 or 60htz and take the voltage split or not split.BUT NOT ALL DEVICES. I suspect (guess) that the transformer is NOT a multiple voltage input transformer and what they intend to say is that you can wire 2 different "legs" (phase) of the 110-125VAC 60htz to the transformer, wiring one leg (red) to your Brown wire input and one leg (black) to the Blue wire input, and finally Earth (NOT WHITE) to your green/yellow input. In this case, you will not use the white from shore. That said, if you are discussing Tortola, BVI, I am 99.9999% sure that they have 220-250VAC on the docks, but maybe (assume) that they may not have a US Type 50 amp 220-250VAC plug. AND maybe (guess) they have only wired the pedestals with US type 110-125VAC 60htz 30 amp connectors. If that is the case, when they say they do not have the larger 50 amp connectors, the split connection device will work, maybe (guess), but each of the 30 amp plugs needs to receive power from separate legs (phase) of the 220-250VAC power. I posted a link earlier of a device that has 2 each 30 amp male connectors and 1 50 amp female. I have one on the boat. It is possible that you could make one, but you will have to follow instructions precisely. Without giving you the instructions now, let me describe what the marina probably (guess) has: Inside their pedestal box they I think (assume) that they have a large input cable with 4 wires inside the cable. They should be color-coded this way:Red - 110-125VAC 60htz (hot)Black - 110-125VAC 60htz (hot)White - NeutralGreen - GroundI believe (guess) that you need to accomplish the following:Red - 110-125VAC 60htz (hot)>>>>>>>>Brown input on transformerBlack - 110-125VAC 60htz (hot)>>>>>>>Blue on input transformerWhite - Neutral>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Not usedGreen - Ground>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Green/Yellow input on transformerIt will not work if you use either 2 Reds or 2 Blacks which would be using 2 of the same leg (phase) of the 220-250VAC 60htz. You MUST use 2 different legs...this is what they sometimes refer to a "phase." The best way to accomplish this is for the marina to wire a female US Type 50 Amp 220-250VAC 60htz receptacle for you to plug into. If they do, I would test to make sure that the resulting wiring is according to the Shore Power graphic in the following album.https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/amelyachtowners/search/photos?query=shore%20power#zax/albums_1949812811 I will repeat that I am not an electrician, and even if I was, there is no way I can help you without making assumptions like I did above and those assumptions could be wrong.

Concerning removing studs I just read an instructive article in the latest PBO November 2016 pages 84-85. If someone is interested and not having access pls send me an email inusbusch (at) yahoo (dot) de, I will try to send pictures.

Dinghy Inflator - Amel 54
James Wendell <ms42phantom54@...>
Does anyone out there know about the electric dinghy inflator for the Amel 54? I have a circuit breaker labeled as such above the battery area and I think a plug in the lazarette. I do not have the inflator and do not know what it is or how it would work. Also, I had to rebuild my Opacmare passarelle. It no longer works correctly and I cannot figure it out. It allows me to extend and/or raise the gangway when it is stowed in its pocket. I would not expect that, as it could jam. Also, it does not raise or lower fully. I suspect I have problems with the limit sensors, but I do not know enough about how it is supposed to function. The manual is written in English, but the translation is really confusing. Any advice would be much appreciated. I know these are somewhat unusual questions. Thanks, Jamie s/v Phantom Amel 54 #044

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Windlass bolt to deck
eric freedman
I have had great success over the years removing stuck and broken bolts in this manner: I use a clay like substance called here in the USA Duct Seal. I build up a small dam around the offending bolts and fill the dam with PB blaster for a week. The bolts almost always are loose by that time if not I continue the process eventually they come out. It is also important to try to turn the bolt in both directions to spread the PB blaster. When I re install them I use a paste called never seize high temperature. It is especially good on the outhaul shaft. Works like a charm. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Windlass bolt to deck
Mike Ondra
The part about a “good and pure life” is a problem. I will soak the hell out of it and put a pipe wrench on the stud to see if that breaks the bolt free. If it shears off I’ll drill it out. Thanks for the insights. Mike

Mike,
If you took this problem to a machinist they would try drilling out the bolt with a left hand drill (cuts turning counter clockwise). If you lead a good and pure life it just might grab and unscrew the bolt halfway down. Not something your corner hardware store has, but easy to find online.
Some of this has already been said, but it can’t hurt to repeat…
Do soak the bolt with penetrating oil. This is a case where it is very likely to help by softening the rust. Overnight is not too long to let it soak. Multiple applications over several days is best.
Before starting to drill, grind the face of the bolt off flush and smooth and be sure to use a center punch to give you a starting dimple for the drill. Do not skip this step! It’s impossible to get a good start drilling in the center of a stainless bolt, especially with a hand drill, if you do not dimple it first.
Do not try and drill it out all in one go, start with a small bit to make a pilot hole. Go slow. Slow drill speed and gentle pressure. Use new, or freshly sharpened bits. Cobalt bits are worth the extra cost.
When drilling stainless steel, use cutting oil. It will help keep your bit sharp and cutting smoothly and help reduce the chance of breaking the bit.
Or, you can try a “Speed Out” bolt remover. I have had good luck with those, but never had any luck with the more commonly found “Eazy-Out”.
Good Luck with this! Anytime a bolt breaks off it is a real hassle.

Then it cant happen again. I drilled up from the bottom, there was too much bolt to go through from the top. This bolt is the critical one. Being through a plate attached to the hawse pipe it gives the strength to the attachment.
